food for dinner

[david1]

breakfast is easy porage oats/ ready brek / oats so simple add dried milk and hot water

apart from pot noodles yuk I have not found anything pleasing that I can carry in a pack that is light and nice, so what is your favorite onepot meal to eat while out in the woods.
but it must stay fresh in a pack for two weeks ?

Thanks David

Self dehydrate your own meals or buy dehydrated meals.

For a lunch time snack I would go down the Chinese supermarkets they have some great noodles which are far better than pot noodles, some times you cab find some good ones down the foreign food isles in the super market, beef them up a bit with biltong/jerky.

"Look what we found" bag meals, loads of different flavours. Batchelors boil in the bag rice, Loads of flavours. Cuppa soups and sandwiches for days out or even an overnighter. There is plenty of choice out there.

For light and nice, I'd say buy a dehydrator and dry things you like. That's what I've been doing this past fortnight.

I like the muslei (plus some dried fruits, nuts and even some foragged treats) and either Dried milk or yogart if your sitting down to eat or dry if your on the run

Packet of dried cous cous and some chopped chorizo works for me

+1 for this. My basic standby too. Best combination of low weight, high calorie and stick-to-gut-ability! and you can get a range of flavored packets.

Would this be a good one to buy ?

I have the same one by a different name (ex ebay) and it seems to be ok. It melts the bottom tray a little if set to its hottest but apart from that I have no complaints.
Generally pleased with the device and delighted with the dried stuff (notably spinach

)

does that dehydrator have a fan ?

Yes, it does.

As per above, cous cous, rice or pasta all travel pretty well and its just a matter of what to put on them! I believe dolmio do stir in pots that go quite well on pasta and have a reasonable shelf life with no need to refrigerate.

"Look what we found" bag meals, loads of different flavours.

I recently ate a beef bolognese one that was 6 months out of date with no ill effects, so just proves they last a while.

How about taking some dried noodles and adding some foraged local fauna to make a sir-fry esque meal - may work if your faraging skills are up to scratch
