During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave? (lemmy.ml)

I'm going from Hong Kong to Iceland next month. I've read that everything there, including food, are quite expensive. So my wife and I have been researching on how to prepare meal or snack that we can eat during the day instead of going to restaurant.

However, given we will travel by day tours, I don't think fire or microwave will be readily available during the tours. We can only prepare the meal the day before or in the morning and bring with us in the tours.

We've read that peanut butter/honey with bread, dried fruit and nuts are some good options. Overnight oatmeal may be great but I'm not sure we can keep them cool enough throughout the day and if not, whether this will cause food spoilage.

Are there any other recommendations to have more variety? Thank you!

I don't have any good suggestions, but I have two questions that might be relevant to you or to other people who do have ideas.

Will you be visiting a grocery store in Iceland to get your ingredients? Or will you be packing them in your luggage on the flight over?
If they are in your luggage, will there be any customs tomfoolery if you're bringing lots of food with you? (I have never flown with lots of food in my luggage; I have no idea if this is even a concern, but wanted to bring the question up in case it is.)

I will bring some food like nuts and some will be brought in grocery storea/supermarkets there.

What do you mean by customs tomfoolery?
