Having Food On The Go - Eat The Best Meals On The Train Now!

There are very few of us who balk at train travel. There’s something that’s so reminiscent of our childhood in them – the packing (in some cases, the bedding too!), the packing of meals (huge steel dibbas!), the rushing en-masse to the station, whiling away of time at the platform, hustling to get to the seat, and then taking one’s sweet time to settle in. And once all that was achieved, then came the pleasures of the train itself – that smoothly rocking motion, the passing of time in games and conversation, walking around in the aisles, looking out for ages from the window.
 
Food fun

Food is never a problem for travelers on an Indian train. On almost all trains, there is a procession of hawkers offering a mélange of Indian snacks, such as samosas, masala chana, bhel-poori, and others, along with hot and cold beverages. In fact, you can easily make out the state one’s in when traveling on a long train journey by looking at the snacks offered by the vendors since they reflect the regional cuisine.

But there are many travelers that hate the very idea of food that may have been prepared in unhygienic conditions. They prefer to order their food from an ecatering concern that would have tie-ups with the leading food joints or restaurants. These joints maintain the proper hygienic conditions to prepare food. So, there is the guarantee of good food prepared in clean environs.

Another factor that weighs in here is that the traveler does not have to settle for any particular cuisine when placing an order with an ecatering company. Cuisines of all types, regions, and even countries are on offer.

You are free to order whatever you like from the menus shown on the site of the company. The cuisines range from Rajasthani, Awadhi, and Gujarati to Mediterranean and Chinese.
   
The menus offered are from restaurants based in the cities the train stops at, to make it easy to deliver the meal, hot and fresh, to the traveler. So you can easily for a regional meal too, if your heart so desires.

Special foods are also available. Most catering companies offer Jain food, food for diabetics, baby and infant food, and even food for people who are observing fasts.
