Breakfast in the car on the way to a hike

[dtbaker]

Hey there,

I'm going on a little day walk soon and we're having an early hour long car ride.

Does anybody have some cool on-the-go breakfast ideas? Something I could make/cook to share with everyone in the car trip?

(the guys I'm taking on this walk are not really get-up-early-to-have-breakfast-before-leaving people)

Thanks!

A real coffee and fresh bread rolls with butter. Prepare then the night before and set the oven on a timer

Now I'm hungry and I want to go hiking on your trips Strider!

I've never made them but my mum does on occasion. Not from that exact recipe but damn they are good!

How many empty seats do you have in your car, Strider?

Forget how many seats strider has, how many of these did he bake. There had better be enough or it will be carnage

I was going to say, cold pizza, but Striders mums recipe takes the cake.

Well perhaps cinnamon doughnuts and coffee is easier to eat in the car, alternatives are prune and cream cheese Danish pastries or coffee scrolls, anything both sweet and starchy is a wake-up call as is the caffeine
I do like cold pizza though and I have been known to eat left-over KFC; which is edible with enough chillie sauce so you can't taste the "Chicken flavoured fat and salty grease"

Porridge and proper tea at home before I leave. Maybe a banana as well.

Hashbrowns and coffee work well for easy to eat and drive

I remember reading something about not being allowed to drive and eat/drink.

Does anyone know the legality of that?

I'm pretty sure that most these stories are based on "Careless Driving" or some such catchall. Same for driving without shoes and probably others.

I can't see it being practicable to ban eating and drinking, mainly because to define it in a workable way would be a nightmare. As in sucking a lolly clearly doesn't pose the same risk as tackling a big dribbling hamburger held in both hands while steering with your knee. A sip from a water bottle isn't the same as a hot cup of something with no lid, and so on.

"Careless" or "inattentive" driving gives plenty of room for the necessary subjectivity to be applied.

Perhaps we misinterpret the question? I thought that the requested breakfast was for the "PASSENGERS" not the driver

The bakeries that sell Danish often have small olive and cheese breads, or foccacias, or savoury scrolls. Some are very nice and they are less likely to shatter into crumbs than either croissants or Danish. I also remember a suggestion in a picnic or sandwich recipe book that suggested BLTs made good picnic food and were good cold, but one must still toast the bread... haven't tried it though.
