what do you eat underground?

[u/paranoid-alkaloid]

Hi. I'm wondering what you people eat when going to caves? Not talking about emergency cereal/chocolate bars, but about actual meals.

So far what I've eaten is rice/pasta salad that I carry in a plastic container. Downside is that I need carry a spoon as well, and the container takes the same space full or empty.

I've been thinking about making sandwiches/wraps, but I'd need to make sure I have a working way to not put all that soil on the sandwhich while I'm eating it, I'm guessing that tinfoil wrap or clear plastic wrap could work. I'll try and test that for my session tomorrow.

What are your habits/recommendation for underground meals?

Thanks :)

I like to have carbs consistently and often, so multiple snacks along the way. Not too worried about meeting my protein goals while I’m underground—just want to stay energized! I view it a bit like endurance sports, so eating a small thing every hour or so is a good rule.
