Do you (or people you know) travel with shelf-stable food

... because they strongly strongly prefer their home cuisine? This is not a matter of bringing some dried fruit and nuts in case you get stuck at a bus depot. This is the bringing tubes of gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) to the hotel restaurant or packing a whole suitcase full of microwavable rice packs and instant ramen to Spain so you don't have to rely on the local food, which may not be to your taste.

I know, this is a pre covid-19 question. But it's been something that has bugged me ever since I took a few package tours with Korean travel agencies back in 2003 and 2004 and was surprised that my tablemates (in their 50s and 60s) were primarily eating rice mixed with gochujang instead of the braised pork belly at the Shanghai restaurant. I assume there are other people who also have strong food preferences and don't enjoy trying lots of new foods. I'm curious if people make similar preparations when traveling AND I'm super curious if there are groups of people who are similar to my Korean package tour mates and travel with the expectation that they may not like any local food.
