Now I know what to do with my Quinoa :) Do you think it will survive a plane journey?
ReplyDeleteDry Quinoa, yes. Made up in this salad? Maybe 2 hours without refrigeration but better with an ice pack although keep them below 100ml, not sure frozen counts as "not liquid" and I wouldn't be about to argue with security personnel about anything, even if I'm right!
