Dairy drinks are not an option. Without proper storage, they can go bad and ruin your trip. Only if you consume them right away, or use a cooler bag

Homemade food

Snacks

Fast food

Everyone's favorite instant noodles, mashed potatoes, and so on are a favorite topic of train travelers. But there are more minuses in it than there are pluses.
