We've always used those ice blocks you can buy in camping stores to use on the move, but recently I've found an even better solution. I freeze plastic bottles full of water, because they keep cool so much longer, and you can also drink the water afterwards.
500ml soft drink bottles are ideal, but the best ones are those plastic litre bottles that spirits are sold in on planes. When we went away last weekend, I put a frozen 1 litre bottle in the cool bag at 6.30am, and it still had some ice left in it at 11.00pm that night. We were able to eat the remnants of our picnic lunch the next day, as it was all still nice and cool.
How do you keep food cold on the move?
