Food for hiking

A recycled honey squeeze bottle. The small one.

Pronutro, milk powder mix in the morning and some game powder and water to drink, Lucky Star sardines,a snacker, and an energy bar for lunch. Soya mince and instant pasta for supper with some sliced biltong.Just my thoughts.

Breakfast - muesli and future-life. and maybe coffee/tea and a rusk
Lunch - cheese, rice cakes/provitas and dry wors. Game energy drink
Dinner - Pasta and sauce with finely sliced biltong

Everyone seems to be on much the same page wrt each meal. How about we move the direction of this thread to the one thing you always take on a hike as a treat. Be it something salty, sweet, beverage, whatever. That one thing you really look forward to having when sitting in the cave at the end of a long day.
Mine would be Paprika Tuc biscuits. Can smash a whole bag in my face no problem

I usually take biltong or dry wors as a treat. Another really nice one is popcorn, easy to make on a hiking stove (though I haven't tried to yet on my DIY alcohol stoves).

A tip for breakfast, I don't like processed foods, so instant oats is out. What I do is take any regular oats, as unprocessed as possible, and soak them overnight. This way you don't use fuel boiling water, the oats soften overnight and just need a little heating in the morning.

Has to be cheese burger & chips...



I took 3 of my teenage nephews to Lower Injisuthi Cave and told them we were having Cheese-burger flavoured 2min Noodles (1 packet each) for supper



...they nearly cried with relief when I whipped these up!!!

one word... chocolate (in most forms including hot chocolate)

oh and Backcountry make a really good Tai chicken curry

otherwise Woollies provide a collection of shnacky things like sliced gouda and ham which goes with biscuits or rolls and their oat crunchies are a tasty and (if needed) extra fast breakfast option

A carb which we started using was gnocchi. This is really quick, tasty and does not leave a very dirty pot. Also it rises to the surface when ready, usually after about 5 min, so that you know when it is done.
