Caravan Holidays In The UK : Food To Take With You

It is often difficult to know what food to pack for a caravan holiday but if you keep things fairly simple and take the kind of things you would normally eat at home then you should be ok. After all, your food likes and dislikes are not going to change just because you're on holiday! Think about your favourite quick, easy, healthy recipes because you don't want to be spending your well earned break slaving away at a hot stove. Adapt and change things so you have more time to enjoy at the beach or with the kids.

Unless you are going to a very isolated location, there's also no need to take a huge amount of food with you. Shopping as you go gives you the opportunity to explore your new local area, support the local economy and sample some food and drink you may never have tried before. Most little food shops carry the same basic items, so you should be able to get fresh bread, milk and other items that you need.

Veteran holidaymakers will also know how important a good 'food box' is to supplement the fresh stuff. Non-perishable and tinned goods like dried herbs, cereals, crackers, margarine, mayo, pasta, rice, oil, baked beans, tomatoes and tuna are essential for the basics of a quick dinner. Also, don't forget things like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, bottled water, sugar, biscuits and other treats that you need.

A self catering holiday is the perfect time to try the local produce like regional fruit and vegetables that are in season and also cheeses, meats, honey, breads, cakes and other treats. Those on holiday near the sea will also be able to buy fresh fish from the harbour of course sample the many fish and chip shops about. Don't forget to try the local wines or beers too.

Although many caravans and holiday homes come with an oven and also possibly a microwave oven, a caravan holiday is a fantastic opportunity to try out different methods of cooking. If the weather is good a barbecue is a great way to cook meat, fish and vegetables and don't forget baking potatoes around the camp fire. A slow cooker is a good option if you are going out for the day too. Just make sure you take a frying pan and a decent sized saucepan in case your caravan doesn't have them.
