I had the same thought. That is the last thing I would pack for a road trip, I don't even like smelling them in my kitchen.

This is what we do. My kids are young enough they think fast food only exists outside of our region on road trips so I don't sweat it when we travel and just pick up food along the way.

For early lunch - I would pack an insulated multi-container lunch box (called tiffin box or dabba) with a nice veggi pilaf, daal, chicken curry, and paranthas. This would be eaten warm.

For a less fussy meal - rava-veggi idlies with chutney podi and coconut chutney.

For tea break - cucumber sandwiches and egg sandwiches. Some slices of homemade banana nut bread. Make tea in an electric kettle for car.

For coffee break - cookies and some via coffee satchets. Warm water and milk in electric kettle.

Pack fruits like bananas and tangerines. We like to buy fast food also - mainly fries, chicken nuggets and onion rings to go with the tea or coffee break.

Where did you get that???

This sounds delicious.

But no one travels this way.

Combos are the best for this. Carefully eat the outside pretzel until you have a cheese nugget. One bag lasts hours.

NP. This is my favorite part, because everyone is forced to be together in the car. As much as they may hate it, they probably won't jump out of a moving vehicle to get away.

Is this a joke?
Chutney, electric kettles, fast food with coffee? It's like a bad SNL skit.

Nope. This is quite common for people from my culture. We have been raised with good food and we cannot subsist for long on "unhappy meals". Also, I am assuming that you will at least stop 3 or 4 times on a 12 hour road trip? But, do what works for you. This is how we travel, unless it is a multi-day road trip.

Good Lord. It looks like those containers come with a healthy side of pretentious twatwaffle.
