Just a reminder to the cooking and baking primitives that, despite all the other excitement going on here, franksolich remains ever vigilant about the hate-filled, racist, seditious activities of the innocuous-looking primitives in that forum.

Need some no-fridge, no-microwave food ideas.
I'm going to be in Southern California next week for training and I'll be staying at a hotel in which there is no refrigerator and no microwave. The only thing there is a coffee maker. There are two restaurants on premise but eating out every day for every meal would be way too cost prohibitive. I'm looking for ideas for food that I can take with me that doesn't require refrigeration or serious cooking.
The only thing I can come up with is "Luncheables" (I've never tried these but I can't imagine they'd be very good) and the tuna-in-a-pouch and crackers thingie. Can't bring much in the way of fruits as it just doesn't travel well (I'll be traveling Amtrak/Bus). I also don't care for Ramen.

6. Frequent train passenger here. Some things I carry -
Avos, limes or lime juice, jar of salsa, baguette, block cheese, peanut butter, bananas, small cans of V8, juices, etc., tuna packets, beef jerky, dried fruit, individual mayo packets, tea bags, salt & pepper, etc., at least one knife, fork and spoon. Ice is available at the hotel if needed.
<<<wouldn't want to sit next to the pinto primitive on a railway train; the stench must be unendurable, like how the break-room stinks in most places of work, when people open their home-packed lunches.
Railway trains have dining cars, where it's appropriate to dine.

22. I always bought a loaf of bread and jar of peanut butter
and that was my breakfast along with an apple I'd pick up later. It worked.
Once in a while I just wouldn't be up for a dinner out, and it would be an evening snack.
The pouches of tuna salad would also work. They just didn't have those the last time I did any traveling. If the coffee maker has a "warm" setting, you can try heating those tins of prepared food with ring top openers on that. You won't know that until you get there.

27. go european
a loaf of really good bread
a chub of dry salami
some cheese
some cured olives
cucumbers
chocolate
Not only does it work, but it feels very elegant. A family member who travels to eastern europe regularly favors this kind of travel food.
Don't forget to pack a paring knife, a plastic spoon and fork in your checked baggage.
^^^the addled primitive who puts ice-cubes inside her
brassiere, dons six winter coats one on top of the other, and drags a child's little red wagon behind her, as she shops for groceries every day; she says it's the "European" way to do things.
<<<by the way, has extensively travelled on eastern European railway trains; it's not as romantic and culinarily-pleasing as the pie-and-jam primitive seems to think.
