Title: What to eat (and not) on the trains Post by: grahame on May 18, 2023, 17:09:24 From The Mirror (https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/dieting/recipes/train-travel-food-snacks-smelly-30012709)
Quote Smoked mackerel and boiled eggs top list of foods - never to eat on a train Over half of passengers always bring a snack with them for train travel - but 87% go out of their way to avoid those travelling with smelly foods Smoked mackerel, boiled eggs, curry, and egg sandwiches are among the top food that should never be eaten – when travelling on a train, according to research. Over half of Brits (55%) who have travelled by rail in the last year have prepared food to take with them, with 45% admitting they always pack a full picnic spread for longer journeys. [snip] Some even admit to bringing along a sushi platter for the trip, and one respondent always packs prosecco and posh picnic bites when heading for Royal Ascot. Personally, I used to love that Katsu Chircken takeaway on the concourse at King's Cross - ideal to buy a carry-on meal before joining the Cambridge Express.

My good friend bobm would probably end the friendship if I sat next to him on a train eating garlic bread. He's not a fan of allium sativum. Title: Re: What to eat (and not) on the trains Post by: bobm on May 18, 2023, 17:53:57 He most certainly would!
For a time the Pullman served soup which was ladled into the bowl at the table which I always felt was a little risky. It has made a comeback but now arrives already in the bowl.

Title: Re: What to eat (and not) on the trains Post by: grahame on May 19, 2023, 06:56:02 Same applies to buses, if not more so. Rules on busses differ - On Trip Advisor (https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g186234-i637-k6814000-Is_eating_allowed_on_buses-Cornwall_England.html#:~:text=3.,Is%20eating%20allowed%20on%20buses%3F&text=There%20is%20no%20prohibition.,public%20transport%20in%20the%20UK.) "it is not unusual to see signs on buses prohibiting eating and drinking. How often the driver will seek to enforce those, I cannot say. But she or he might." and yet they'll actually sell you food and drink at your seat on selected services.
