Eat out or take your own?

So what do you eat when you are out and about? For the last seven years of my driving life there was no nights out. I did either 12 hour days or 12 hour nights. I prepared food in my own kitchen and took a pack up with me. I have never been a fan of transport cafes and did not partake of truckers breakfasts, a sausage, bacon, and beans fry up. I don't drink tea, awful stuff, and if I wanted a coffee I took a flask with me. I prefer cold drinks.  

It has always been cheaper to take my own food rather than buying it out. And I still do that. These days it's not about saving money, I can afford to eat in the best restaurants. I am fussy about where my food comes from and where it is prepared. 

I took these photo's of the fast food trailers yesterday at Lincoln, and I have to say that there was nothing on their menus to tempt me. Freshly made burgers, I wonder what they put in them.  

I have no idea what this one was selling. What is a Crispy Katsu or a Japanese Miso? 

Oh no, not cuddly little lambs. 😭

Readers from other parts of the world might like to compare prices. 

Now that looks quite healthy, but I wonder what those brown crinkly strips are. 

More price comparisons. I think Golden Fries are chips. Smashed Patties must be a posh name for burgers.  

On this trailer you put in your order at the front hatch after choosing one of these. Then go round the back where the staff will construct your meal and present it to you. I wonder what's in them. I didn't ask. 

No actual food on this stand, just sweet treats. All loaded with calories and sugar. Tempting but no thanks. 

Maybe choose a pudding when you have eaten your burger and chips. This reminds me of many years ago, 55 to be precise, when I worked on Blackpool Pleasure Beach selling donuts and waffles. Our waffles had a squirt of watered down jam and a dollop of synthetic cream. They've come a long way since then. 

I sat on a picnic bench and had a chat with a young lady who was feeding her little boy with chips. I ate my cheese and pickle sandwich, and my Bakewell tart, and listened to the Carol singing. 

This morning I went to Crafty Club. This afternoon I have taken Rocky dog for a walk, but I can't get Billy out because Carol is not there. I will go tomorrow for him. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
