When I am on the go I prefer to cook for myself. It is cheaper, more convenient, healthier, and I don't have to sit in a restaurant on my own like a loser. I hate Mcdonalds and Pizza places, these are always last resorts when I can't find anything else or hanging like a bitch from the night before.
So I wanted to start a thread for things that you cook yourself when on the move, because I am running out of ideas.
Obvious limitations are kitchen appliances, so let's just assume we only have a hob and a couple of sauce pans to work with. Also the meal must not consist of too many ingredients. Most countries I have been just don't have the same produce I am used to back home... so we need to work with just the basics.
I always carry a salt and pepper grinder so I don't have to keep buying it every time I move. This is probably the only thing I use to add flavour. I don't have time to experiment with herbs and spices. I also buy Olive Oil to cook with.
So here is one I cook the most:
Pasta, chicken, chopped tomatoes + garlic and spinach.
It's got everything I need in there, takes about 10 minutes, and I know I can get the ingredients I need. Sounds boring but its pretty delish.
If I can find a can of lentils I will make:
lentils, some weird sausage that the country is famous for (chopped) & spinach.
If I can find Salmon and I have an oven (I never fry fish cos it stinks the house out) I will bake it in tin foil and have it with a mountain of broccoli.
Nom : )
