Also, lots of fancy cheese is sold at room temp at the market. I assume it's fine until opened up, too (and for 3-4 hours afterward. It's cheese for God's sake... ). These cheeses are pricier, but pretty tasty. Bring a mint...
Most of the time, you can by some fruit at the airport. I know it's not TNT compliant, but I usually make an exception for an apple instead of my veggies when I'm traveling. Raw veggies are harder to find.
Open your mouth wide and enjoy the free protein.

This is the sort of stuff I travel with. Beings diabetic now the airline snacks are totally off plan. And besides the FAs always are intrigued as I get out my jerky (make sure its not added sugar), and Costco extra salty smokey almonds (Eades says we have systems overbuilt to cope with sodium), and roasted Cashews. They are all OK to go through customs. Veggies just have to fend for themselves while I am in the air, I generally figure out how to eat veggies regardless of where I am. The Philippines was the hardest - had to go to Malls and have salad.
