A lot of people take a packed lunch with them but for those that do not wish to there are vans selling burgers, hog roast and filled baguettes, ice creams etc.
In this year's program they actually published the price you could expect to pay for the food to stop some traders overcharging - great idea especially as we are trying to encourage these events to be family events such things as the catering prices need to be geared towards this.
A packed lunch or picnic would have things such as sandwiches or bread rolls with various fillings though chicken and ham are the most popular. If not sandwiches then pork pies or cooked chicken pieces and salad stuff such as lettuce tomato, cucumber and beetroot are other choices. Fruit pies and crisps (potato chips) are a must. If you have a cool box then often people will also bring yoghurt. In 2000 shape yoghurt were actually giving out free yoghurt at the show as a promotion.
Nowhereman will be along later posting about "Wings Over Pittsburgh" Airshow Now over to you - how does the above compare with your air shows and what is the typical food to either take with you or buy at these events.
