Difficult challenge-help!

Right, I have a car journey from southeast england to Edinburgh coming up and I want to be as economical as I can. I think im going to make the following:

• muesli and yoghurt pot for me
• sausage rolls

I need something sweet I can make in a small quantity like cookies (only 2 of us and I dont want them to last forever), some healthy snacks but not fruit or veg and something else filling for lunch thats fairly mess free as it might have to be eaten on the move.

Suggestions please

how about a trail mix. Start with rasins, some seeds, a bit of dried banana all mixed up. or whatever you fancy Then take a smaill (kids packlunch size portion) of something else - like dried pineapple etc, then add it to the trail mix when you get bored of it on the journey. I do this with my kids and they love it. Also nice adding bits of broken up biscuits too...

Thats a good idea, ive also got some choc drops and brazil nuts I keep meaning to use. Dried fruit its one thing my bf will eat, I can add some bits of meusli ive got too!

We often do very long car journeys and find that wraps are the easiest and least messy things to eat on the go,if you fold them right,all the filling stays inside and not your lap,unlike sandwiches
For sweet things,we always have a stash of weetabix brownies and thin slices of weetabix cake joined together with butter to stop the mess.
My children love cold pizza,yuk! but because they like it,sometimes I make mini pizzas turned into a pasty like a calzone.
Hope you have a good trip

Hi
Another good idea is to cook some cocktail sausages wrapped with bacon, just like you do with the turkey at christmas, and put these in buttered bread rolls. I remember making these for the first time for a journey by train from Exeter to Edinburgh and my 2 young (at the time!) boys loved them!

Great ideas guys, thanks. Mini pizza will go down a treat especially!

Livinhope what are weetabix brownies, my mum used to make weetabix cake but ive never heard of brownies.
