music festival food. Old Style?

The difficulty with Glasto is the trek from car to tent. It can be an awful long way to lug stuff even if you have a good & tried method. This will be my 3rd time and there will be 4 of us and we don't take any food (except me with fresh fruit so as I can keep up the pretence of eating healthly). We do take a stove, kettle, mugs & teabags and plenty of beer & cider.
Food is not that expensive at Glasto unless you want to spend a lot of money. From memory last year I had £250 to spend and I came home with about £90 and I ate very well, drank all my beer and bought enough at the various bars to remain topped up.

On top of your meals, pack yoruself a plastic bag per day - i put in clean underwear and clothes for that day. Also include a freezer bag with about 20 baby wipes sealed tight, 5 chubba chubb lollies, a packet of chewing gum,a couple of packets of crisps, a very well wrapped bundle of homemade flapjacks, pack of tissues/bundle of dry well wrapped loo roll, a pack of chewy sweets and a disposable camera. Served me well at my festivals and i was the envy of my friends. I was producing bags of tayto crisps at 3am and people were like WOW :eek:WHERE DID YOU GET TAYTO FROM?:D:rotfl:Saved me a fortune and i was well kept !

Each morning lift a bag out , no searching in your case - total organisation!:D

Edit - add a couple of sets of painkillers per day!!!!!

Not done festivals but a regular camper.

One of my favourites is gammon. It can be boiled up and then used for so many dishes. Cubed and chucked in with rice and peas, cold with salad/potatoes, hot with chips/Jacket spud or used in sandwiches. You could also make up a meal beforehand and freeze it. By day two it should be nicely defrosted for use and in the meantime will keep other food cool.

Thank you 23rdspiral for your list... I have to ask....

Journal + pen + prit-stick

Why the Pritstick ? LOL

Thanks. I volunteer at festivals and sometimes have time on my hands... So I journal about the previous day and rip bits out of the flyers/ glastonbury free pages / newspaper for decoration or memories. The journal has also been handy for the occasional autograph too

I do that too but just with my clothes, underwear and thermals and them put it into a compression sac. Organised AND small

Your idea of a bag for each day does look genius though and I might just do that for the upcoming Reading Festival and see if it works better than my current system of 'stuff things where there's space then unpack into bags'
