Bacon & Egg McMuffin looks delicious! I want to make homemade bacon and egg muffins for my familly next weekend, kids like them. Till that time I will get my new blender which I ordered ...

It's a pity a tramping club couldn't buy the 25kg of egg powder and then people could buy some. I got given some one time and divided it up into small bags which I kept ...

We covered much of this a while ago. All this packaged dehi is very low fat so relatively low calories. I never touch the stuff, though might get some freeze dried mince if I didn't ...

Spag bol. My fave home-made dehy meal. Haven't done dehy for awhile (been lazy), but when I do, I wrap any meat products in particular in foil before vac sealing. And yeah, I freeze my ...

Thanks All, for your contributions. :) There's been some behind scenes e-mailing as well. Looks like my super dooper Breville bench-top oven will possibly do a better job, without the noise or the need ...

Matthew got me onto the dehy refried beans. They were sold at Aji's in Christchurch. The rest of the stuff is available in supermarkets. New World stocks the 'Fresh As' range of freeze dried fruit. ...

Gluten free snack bars. Might have to give one recipe a go.

It could be as often its a by catch of various net fishing methods that would of been dumped but the fact that it is caught that way in large quantities pretty much shows how ...

Cabbage tree roots cooked in an umu apparently taste like ginger bread and were so esteemed that they were used in trade. There is an archeological site by the Dart River where there were industrial ...

Good to know about that, thanks Briar. I successfully dehydrated cheese recently - grated and dried on lowest heat setting on baking paper. However it too, needs to be ground up after. I've got a ...

My partner uses this stuff in preference to milk powder as it mixes in perfectly i.e. smoothly. It also stays fresher than milk powder both in the cupboard and on trips he says. I just ...

I like most of them. I try and get the Gluten-Free ones as I do better off gluten, so I enjoy the mexican chicken, tandoori chicken etc. I did really like the cooked breakfast at first ...

Umami (savoury)

This thread is positively inspiring. I'm reminded of a Goon show episode in which Major Bloodnock burnt all their provisions to ashes before embarking on a African expedition because, as he put it, "they're much much ...

The ones you get at breakfast buffets are very well priced.

I'd rather just dehyrate and seal up my own. Then I know exactly what I'm getting, for a fraction of the price. Convenience, however, is a different matter, as these meals take AGES, especially when ...

I tramp with quite a few vegetarians and a few vegans. In the most part normal meals from those food types are fine with the provisos fast cooking extra carbs and protein. Often this might just ...

Hi, Have you considered using a flameless heater pack to heat a BCC meal. All you need thne is your meal, the heater pack and some water. Plus the heater packs are very light.

Ha Ha. I had to laugh at your sardine comment, Geeves. Sometimes when Frank's eating his tin I think 'god, something's died around here' and then I realise it's just his sardines. Sorry I didn't see ...

True Jet, but I'm currently living in a tent at my work (yep). No oven. So I still need to get a new dehydrator. :D

Lentil curry? I have a recipe in the food forum which could then be dried. In my short-lived vegan phase I used to make heaps of bean stews in various forms and dehydrate them. Black-eyed ...

Thai Green Curry Rice Risotto and Tuna Buy above risotto flavour plus a tin of Thai Green Curry Tuna. Boil 650 ml water and add to rice from packet; you don't have to bother frying the rice. ...

Found a recipe for pan fried gnocchi in the May 2014 Wilderness magazine: I'm figuring if I substitute chestnut/buckwheat/besan flours, this could work as a GF option. Be nice with pesto. Serves two Mix 240g potato flakes ...

Chuck an egg or two in there, along with half a cup or so of boiling water before you mix it all up. Mix well (mix should be quite sticky), press in to tin with ...

Those ration packs have a lot in common with 2 minute noodles. They will be just as good now as they were in 1970 and will probably taste the same in 2070. Too much salt ...
