My trusty Thermos flask has accompanied me on dozens of Munros, Corbetts, Grahams, LDs and Pennines, despite the weight penalty. Only ever used for coffee, though. Water in a bottle or Platypus, too. However, as I am now permanently on a low carb diet, I do miss food combinations of sandwiches, crisps, nuts, sweets etc. A thread on preferred (and often bizarre) sandwich fillings alone would probably soon reach the 100 posts limit, methinks …

Let’s have a proper brew. It has to be Yorkshire Tea. None of that peely-wally southern rubbish.

I tend to just grab a sandwich on the summit. I set the rig to repeating a CQ and when there isn’t a pile up I take a bite. This is obviously the cue for several calls and an element of chaos with the pencil and the half eaten sandwich both needing to be out of the range of Woody and the logbook and microphone usually now in hiding!
I have a Jetboil Stove which has a coffee filter arrangement, so the treat is usually back at the car - a proper cup of coffee and a piece of cake. Paul

I only treat myself to a bottle if the hike has been arduous, like last Sunday. First have to find a 7-11, though.

More often than not, I will go to the summit straight after work…
Not so bad if it’s only a short walk, but cooling off a little by the time I’ve reached the trig on G/SP-001 Kinder Scout. usually wrapped in bubble wrap to keep it warm.

After much experimentation, and a couple of consumer taste panels on joint activations, I have settled on Welsh cakes and a flask of tea. I have tried Eccles cakes which are good, but spread crumbes everywhere. Chorley cakes, a flies cemetry much like an Eccles cake but with short crust pastry instead of puff pastry, are an improvement but still create a lot of crumbs. @MM0EFI Fraser’s video recommendation of Soreen is crumb free and clearly has it’s place, but only really as a cold weather option for me. I have previously held a rather disdainful view of flask tea but it is very convenients and can be suprisingly palletable providing that you only add the bare minimum of milk.
My activations tend to involve an hour or so on each summit working several bands, often with a shelter. Your mileage may vary.

Taking a bite of sandwich does appear to be a great way of conjuring up a pile up from a previously silent radio.

Sorry Colin, it’s my favourite. I know what brand it should be though.
