There are few things worse than waiting in an airport on a stomach so empty that you begin to daydream wistfully of airplane food. That’s why it’s important to think ahead and pack some travel comfort food to accompany you on your journey.
One of the easiest, most versatile, and tastiest treats to make ahead is a good, old-fashioned sandwich. You pick the bread, the condiments, and the fillings based on exactly what you want. When you make it a few hours or even a day ahead of time, packing it with your favorites, you’ll not only be treated to a delicious meal, but you’ll feel more comfortable and happy than you did just a minute ago.
Making a sandwich takes very little time, but offers big pay offs, so without any further ado, I offer some sandwich-making tips to make your next travel day a little brighter:
- Pick the perfect bread: Don’t go with the typical store-bought breads that come sliced in a bag; instead, choose a thick, freshly baked bakery offering. It’ll hold the sandwich flavors in better and make you feel a little pampered.
- Choose your condiments wisely: If your sandwich is going to be out of the fridge for more than a couple hours, don’t use any mayo. Instead, try some oil & vinegar, mustard, or anything else your mind can dream up. Don’t forget to add salt, pepper and oregano - just like your favorite deli does.
- Don’t forget the cheese: Most cheeses do just fine outside of the fridge for a few hours, but from a sandwich architecture standpoint, it’s important to remember that pasteurized, homogenized sliced varieties may melt, disintegrate, or sweat more than others. For your travel sandwich, treat yourself to some real deli cheddar, a thick-sliced Gouda, or a fancy Swiss.
- Fill up on fruits, veggies, and a delicious meat: You have to be careful keeping meats out of the fridge for very long, so if lunchtime isn’t happening in an hour or so, go with a well-cured meat like corned beef or salami. Also, stack those veggies high!
- Pack it up: In order to keep your sandwich fresh for longer, wrap it in thin deli paper followed by wax paper before you stick it in a plastic bag. That’ll keep the moisture out and the flavor in.
- Enjoy!
