Hmmm, I think I will have to experiment with the flask this weekend. Hot food would make a nice change.
I suppose it would be possible to cook something hot in the morning and keep it warm in a flask until lunchtime. I guess it makes things a bit messy though and hot water can be used for drinks too.
One thing I have found in the past is that fresh fruit really doesn't hold up too well in a rucksack - apples are about the only ones that stand any chance of survival. I have taken to carrying raw carrots instead - cheap, light and indestructible. OK, it isn't a Mars bar but it makes a nice change from dried food and stodge.
