Food To Bring?

[i heart glasto]

APOLOGIES FOR THE DOUBLE POST - computer went a lil out of hand

Hey guys, i have been to glasto before but went with my parents so we always had lots of food (and money!). this year im going with a friend and we cant possibly afford to pay for food every night. any suggestions of what food to bring? i know pasta, pot noodle etc. and people have said tins but i think that will be too heavy..

any advice?

Pasta and pot noodle are fine if you have some way of heating up hot water. Personally I wouldn't trust myself to do this in the morning with a hangover!

I always bring some food with me to the festival to keep costs down. Advise cold pop tarts in the morning as they are filling and the sugar rush wakes you up. Apples to get your fruit and some cereal bars to pop in your bag during the day. Also consider buying Haribo to give you a sugar high if you end up crashing. I normally then try to buy an evening meal.

Remember at Glastonbury you aren't obliged to buy beer, so take a bag that you can stuff plenty of cans into to take round with you.

Finally - don'y buy chocolate (it will just melt) and bananas (they will turn into mush)!

Super Noodles and some way to boil water and you won't starve. I brought loads in my first year at Glastonbury and they sorted me for the whole festi no bother.

So I am taking the below:

Pot Noodles

Chocolate biscuits (they wont last long enough to melt!)

More biscuits ... shortbread (mmm...)

Coffee Bags (they are the future you know)

Tea Bags

Sugar

Dates

Snack Bars (Corfresh)

To facilitate some of the above I am taking a campingaz C206 stove with gas, and a nice whistling kettle.

Dunk the biscuits in the coffee, and off i go .. oh and some brandy for the coffee too

BBQ's Wednesday and Thursday, then same as everyone else is saying.

Cake, biscuits, tinned fish and meat, bread, honey, sliced cheese, bean salads - stuff with protein in it keeps you going - don't just rely on carbs.

But if you are bringing cooking stuff (which is always a mare if you ask me) then pasta, pesto and cheese and peperami type stuff to go with it.

Also mini packets of cereal - can buy mike on site, just pour milk straight into the packets and eat with a spoon.

But £10 a day would do you for food inside, so check you won't be wasting more than that on bringing food and cooking stuff.
