As others have suggested raiding any local food source for tasty items generally works when you are in area's with services. I'm a fan of pies, all day breakfasts and fries with Aoli.

With regards to coffee, I tend to have a Jeds coffee bag or 2 with me, as its pretty easy to blag a cup of hot water most places

What brand of beir sticks are your jam? I've tried a few recently and they either are a pain to eat (so cheway) or give me bum wees

The Verkerks ones are my go too normally, or otherwise the hellers ones

This is relevant to my interests...
Are they available anywhere else?

Mate, these things are the bees, the ducks and the dogs. The big deep dish suckers like a Pork Pie. Whenever I'm over there I bring a few back as they always have a cold stash about. I know there's a regular courier to Ch-Ch ....................................

I'm going to have to make my own.

Roger, I'm not a big fan of the verkerks beir sticks taste wise, love their chorizo tho. The hellers spicy beir sticks give me an err reaction so I might try the milder ones.

try the "fire in the hole" salami from cashmere deli, 20 clams for a full stick (about 1kg)
i get that or their venison one, and just cut 1/2" slices to take on a ride if i don't have any biersticks lurking in the fridge
