Meal Ideas

My apologies! I've just gone and looked through all of the threads and seen that this request has been posted in the past. If you've got anything to add though I'd still like to hear about it - Thanks

For weekend trips I usually take a 4 serving San Remo pasta meal. 4 servings for just me. 6 serving if there are 2 of us. I suppliment it with some chopped up salarmi or bacon. For puds I take an instant put or one of those little boil up puddings in the winter. Breakfast is Meusli (toasted is best), a piece of fruit and some bacon. Lunches I take Lees Cabin Bread and have little jars with honey, peanut butter, etc etc. One of those Tuna Pouches is good to add some taste and variety. I like Sweet Thai Chilie. I also take lots of tea and keep stove handy to brew up at any occasion. Hot sweet tea tastes much better at altitude I find. Now why is that?

I agree with pmcke that those tuna pouches are ideal. They go well with Norths Unsliced Swiss Rye bread and as additions to pasta or rice meals. To help the bread loaf hold its shape inside the pack cut two 1L plastic milk containers down the middle and join them so they overlap. As the loaf gets smaller just push the two container halves closer. Empty yellow Maggi stock containers are good for holding things such as milk powder or matches. You can buy 4-serve pouches of mashed potato and pasta which are also light and much more reasonably priced than the Backcountry meals (best of those varieties I think is Morroccan Lamb).
