We usually keep some emergency rations in the cab, and because I like to eat, i'm always looking for creative road food ideas. We avoid truck stop chow, as much as possible. My food stash is usually a couple of cans of beef stew, beans, and some good trail mix, or mixed nuts, for hiway munching. I don't have a microwave or a refridge in my d unit, but i do cook. I have two metal jars, that i picked up in some camp store years ago. I also carry a shallow metal pan, and a ready supply of tinfoil. I made a bracket out of wire to secure these containers in my engine compartment so that they sit on the motor, or very near to it. Then we either put a can of something in the bracket, and down the road we go. In about 30-40 minutes..HOT FOOD! Another method is, we go to some supermarket deli, get something, wrap it in tinfoil, sometimes add spices to it, put it in the pan,(you can put 3 or 4 things wrapped seperately in the pan) and VOILA!. A casserole, or hot meal. On cold nights, i put water and instant coffee in one of the jars, then in the morning..HOT COFFEE!! For cold drinks, (only in summer), i made two wire brackets, that allow a can of soda to hang down in front of the airconditioning vents, on the
dash. In about 20-30 minutes, drinks are plenty cool. when i drink one i insert another, to have it cool when i'm ready. We also go to restaurants, and truckstops, but the aementioned is a great diversion. So, you got any food tips?
