Savoury and gluten free treat that will last out of the fridge for a few hours

[NoYoureGrumpy]

I've already started a similar thread about what to take my GF friend who is recovering from an op in hospital, but she's said she fancies something savoury now and most ideas are sweet treats.

I'm thinking maybe some kind of GF portable picnic food?

Any genius ideas of things that will travel well and survive outside of a fridge for a few hours?

I would do tamari roasted chickpeas

• Salted mixed nuts? You have to read the label to make sure you pick a pack with no gluten in the seasoning.

• Hardboiled quails eggs?

• Crisps (Seabrooks are gluten-free, as are some flavours of Kettle crisps and I think all of Tyrrells).

oh lovely, thanks guys!

Maryz, that frittata looks gorgeous

If you can shop at Waitrose or with Ocado, then Isabels cheesbread is fabulous, and as you can't buy them fresh, a real treat. Tescos sell a frozen FF garlic doughballs which are made in the same method and v nice, but not as good as the cheesy loveliness.

I often make sushi rolls for picnics, with tinned tuna, sweet chilli chicken (the precooked breast slices), or shredded carrot in the middle.

yy to frittata.

and home made gluten free cheese straws are reliable. I use doves farm flour.

Cubes of interesting cheese with a variety of radishes and cherry tomatoes, maybe add some celery salt?

Remember there must be no cross contamination when cooking for Coeliac's.

I think most coeliacs are very wary of eating anything cooked by a non-coeliac and with good reason! If you don't know what you're doing w.r.t. cross-contamination, then it's risky.

What happened Maryz?

You are right about pizza/bread costs! I make our own pizza, but not practical if you've just got a visiting child.

It's lovely to hear how careful you are re: cross-contamination - most people don't realise/don't take the trouble. I'm training DS to cook, so he can offer to do it when he's at other people's houses (and avoid being poisoned himself....)
