I pack several slices of G.F. bread or crackers, mild smelling cheese, baggie of cut raw vegetables and some really good chocolate. Fruit is problematic on international flights. With cut-backs in in-flight food service and so many folk on special diets, wait persons and flight attendants are used to those who care their own grub.

Another no-no is for two people to take food from a single bowl at the same time, or someone holding down a piece of food as another pulls from it (say separating pieces from one another), again for the same reasons as why you shouldn't pass food from chopstick to chopstick Great notes on etiquette though, you don't see many people write about that enough.
