what are some prepared foods to take on Amtrak LD trip?

Decent breakfasts can be made wit granola or cereal, just add powdered milk to the dry cereal before you leave (or bring a bag of it); once on board, just add water! Things like muffins bagels last quite a while & work well too.

Wow that's sorta brilliant!

In my experience, powdered milk, though cheap and light, is pretty disgusting.

There's a reason I didn't advocate drinking it by it's self, but instead mixing it with other things...

Cereal or granola are not going to effectively mask the flavor of the milk.

Have you ever tied Nido? It's non-fat powdered milk with some fat added back.

I have not. Does it basically taste like somewhat "tamer" powdered milk?

One of the things I've stuffed in a cooler and eaten is cold hot dogs. They're generally fully cooked and ready to eat. Also deli meats and cheese to make sandwiches.

I think so. We prefer it on backpacking trips. It's often found in the ethnic (e.g. Mexican, Indian) section in grocery stores.
