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 was just in Iceland for a week or so. Restaurants were a bit on the expensive side coming from the US, but not terrible. Cheap sandwiches abound there, though: at most gas stations or the supermarkets I could get a premade sandwich for $4 US or so. I largely did day tours as well, and all the ones I went on stopped at a couple of gas stations through the day for pit stops and food, and the sandwich selection was adequate. Personally,I wouldn't stress too much.

Good to know, at least there are more affordable choices should we prefer not to cook or prepare anything.
