Must have treats for the hours in the car:
1) Biltong - we can't possibly make it around 7 countries without dried meat
2) Niknaks - orange that comes off on your fingers, salty non-specific deliciousness, each nak different from the last (somewhat akin to snowflakes really) - food AND fun all in one.
3) Soft Gums -awesome name to say and just the right level of sugar without being tooth rottingly, ear-achingly, saliva-inducing sweet
4) Coke - caffine, sugar, bubbles ... what more can you ask for from a beverage really? And given it's alleged hangover curative powers I'm making sure we have at least a few cans in reserve AT ALL TIMES.
5) Fizzers - I still can't really explain what these are to people that have never enjoyed the pink/green/blue flavoured glycerine strips. With hours of sitting ahead I forsee fizzer melting competitions taking on new complexities.
6) Sausage Rolls - enough said
7) Ceres fruit juice boxes - yes perhaps we should have something "healthy", do these count as one of your five a day I wonder?
8) Simba crisps - there is sure to be some debate about flavours allowed in the car but with 17 days of car journey to look forward to I think you can all expect a pretty thorough blog post on my favourite crisp flavour and why - it may even be worthy of a sonnet.
9) Fruit? - I know at least one member of the car will insist on this. I would argue however that fruit goes off, processed treats do not. Fruit - 0, processed foods - 1. How about jelly tots? These are fruit flavoured...
10) Cheese sandwiches - perhaps a throwback from a childhood of long car journeys but nothing says adventure like slightly stale white bread and sweaty cheese.
