Wraps for me, filled with squeezy mayo and foil-packet tuna (which I've just rediscovered!), or salami, or squeezy cheese… or chunks of bread an cheese…

Except that I'll be in the Park restricted to a diet of roast swan, rod & line-caught wild salmon, roast herdwick mutton & new potatoes, Francesinha and the like… for two weeks…! Gout anyone?

Thanks to all for your help! I have now made decisions.

Wraps sound like a great solution to the bread problem. Pumpernickel JD? Mmmmm maybe. I recall some dodgy bars in Germany where trays of pumpernickel slathered in pork dripping and salt were handed round to assist with the beer consumption. Ideal challenge fare then.

I can't see myself reconstituting dried taramasalata or drying any healthy type stuff (pace Vanessa & Laura) but I might, just might try the odd oatcake again.

But two things are for sure: Knowing the contents of his sandwiches, I will stay well upwind of Alan Sloman, and next year I will try to hire HMP3 as my batman.

Have a great gourmet crossing chaps 'n chapesses!

Tickety boo, sir! A honour to serve. Your tooth-brush will be spread with paste before you even emerge in the morning. A field kitchen will be at your personal disposal, together with a camp bath, warm towels and delicious attendants.

You're not missing anything with the taramasalata, Phil, as it's starting to look revolting (too fatty, I think) but the tomatoes (thanks, Laura) and hummous are coming along nicely.

Oh dear, Phil. I'm getting flashbacks of you tabletop dancing in a grotty bierkeller in full frontal lederhosen. I must mop my fevered brow with some Hebridean schnapps.

I still have the negatives of Phil in a place known by the Brits as the "Mucky F*ck" in Bad Salzsuflen (or near approximation to that! We were drinking heavily at the time. The place had 80 feet tall fossilised hedges that stank of rotten eggs. He takes me to all the best places - it'll be Braemar next...)

Honest!

My-oh-my, what a memory you have, sir! The place was Bad Salzuflen and the bar was indeed called the Muckefuk!

Those hedges gave a bracing health restoring air to inhale on the way back to the hotel. I don't recall having a hangover at all. Or maybe it was the pumpernickel & dripping.

Back to the subject of lunch ...

All these solutions based around things made from flour and cows' milk cause more than a little difficulty here ...

However, I have found this place: http://www.healthysupplies.co.uk/

They have a good variety of food bar / energy bar type products that I CAN safely consume ... so I stock up with those and make up 4-item 800 calorie lunch packs, different contents each day.

Their range contains LOTS of things that I can't eat but you lot can ... so if any of you are still thinking along cereal bar type lines, you might like to give them a try. There should still be time to get your orders delivered before the "off".

We never eat lunch. Go all day on our breakfast!
