Nobody has yet mentioned the ultimate trail snack - BEEF JERKY! I make my own, heavily peppered and spiced. GReat to chew as you go, equally great to supplement whatever dried carbs you take for dinner (if it lasts long enough to make it as far into the day as dinner).

Then of course there is CHORIZO, the duct tape of cuisine.

beans, rice, bacon

I like to take a can of pork and beans, a couple of hot dogs, some omnion, peppers, BBq sauce and honey all in a little container and make beanie weinies. I turn the pork and bean can into a hobo stove to cook them in my canteen cup.

I came across by accident Mattessons chicken bites are a great addition to any noodle or pasta meal. They come in different flavours and don't weigh much. Just add in the last minute of cooking and they are good to go.

Peanut butter, cheese and pitta bread.

My mouth has dried out just thinking about eating that

 

[persistent king]

oats for breckie, noodles for dinner, and pasta and sauce with fridge raders and peperami for tea, also the hotdogs in the glass jars are good , you put the jar on the embers and it cooks the hotdogs a treat

 

[Man of Tanith]

porridge, bacon or sausages, chorizo, bannock mix, mug shot soups and cous cous, whatever Xander has decided to bring

Cous cous
Quinoa
Dried fruit, nuts and seeds (99p stores do 250g mixed bags, for UK users, not connection blah blah)
Tinned crab or fish (small but good protien and oils)
Dried egg
Dry spices, garlic and root ginger (also medical)
Tea and dried milk
Sausages (cook on first/second day, then eat the rest cold, once you change from raw to cooked, you get an extra couple of days out of them)
Smoked bacon, same as above
Salami/chorizo
Camembert/brie (only improves with age unrefrigerated)
Crusty white rolls (they don't squash as easily as normal bread and compliment the above four very well for me, good for the woods but not hiking)
Sun dried tomatoes
Bannas and dark chocolate
Fruit and nut chocolate
Woods 100 proof rum (at 57% ABV, a bottle can do 2-3 days or 2-3 folk drunking or more if taken easy, no connection blah blah, it's just the easiest overproof rum to get hold of in the uk in my experience, doesn't need chilling to taste good either) or boxes of red wine if car camping
Any good forage picked up on the way
