What food should I bring on a transatlantic flight?
I'm going to Paris in a week and a half, and I want to start my trip off right! What are the best sandwiches, snacks and small bites to bring on a flight? Which breads hold up best, if at all? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I'm not sure how several pounds of apple pie is safer than a little container of dressing or a jar of jam, but whatever.

Both recipes are delicious, and can definitely be varied to your own taste.
The one thing to keep in mind is not to bring anything that can be construed as liquid--avoid things like yogurt, hummus, etc. Salads are good, but only if they can hold up to being dressed in advance, because you won't be allowed to bring a separate tub of dressing through security. i.e. leafy greens are probably not best, but grains and roasted veggies and the like are great.
Amanda Hesser even had a NYT Mag column about this subject years ago:

Have a wonderful trip!
