What are the best snacks to bring on a transatlantic flight? Discuss.

I flew Virgin Airlines the last time I went across the pond (Which was five years ago.) They kept us liquored up the whole time and we were in coach. :)

Snacks that would be good:
Anything with protein in it. Protein keeps me from being hungry, chips and the like just make me hungrier. My vote:

PB&J Sandwiches (because I am five)
Jerky (cause lowfat protein, mmmm)
Triskets (because I love them.)
Cheese
And some fruit, if you can wing it.

Virgin Atlantic coach does not equal regular coach.

nuts, beef jerky, granola bars, fruit.
Some candy for the movies :)

And a bottle of water each. Drinking is the key to surviving a long flight.

I never pack anything.

"(Business class travelers need not apply)."

Never mind, then.

I've flown international on business class. It's very pleasant. Chocolate swans, champagne, crispy asparagus, port, all the good stuff.

It's a different world back in coach, though not as bad as all that.

Unless you're flying Malaysia Air. Even coach gets food that I'd be willing to pay for ... as long as you like satay and noodles!

Don't they have weird regulations for fruit if you're travelling to other countries? If there isn't a problem there, that's what I'd bring, mostly because the air gets so dry on long flights.

Bottled Water

More bottled water.

Otherwise, general snacky goodness. Apples, nuts, etc.

Larabars are great. They are whole food raw bars of goodness. Lots of energy and even taste good. You can find them at the checkout lines at the Wedge.

Bring a massive amount of sugar, get a food coma, sleep the whole way, then take out some Emergen-C and swill it down right before you land.

I'd both start and end with the Emergen-C. Plenty of water and airplane decaf, a few wee bottles of booze, red grapes, and a medium-sized hunk of chocolate would round it out for me.

On the other hand, you'd have to be out of your mind to emulate my tastes.

(Wow, I just noticed how many antioxidants there are in the above. Man! Guess I won't rust anytime soon.)

I vote for nuts, VEGGIES, cheese, jerky, dried fruit (from Bill's, of course). For veggies, the front runners are carrot or celery sticks, but radishes do pretty well too.

And, of course, water. And no alcohol. Long flights dehydrate you enough as it is. Some gum or tic-tacs go a long way toward getting that pucker-face feeling out of your mouth. Toothbrush + paste also highly recommended.

If you get all this from Bill's you can have tasty, healthy, _and_ weird, all at once. Bill's is my fav grocery store.
