For the first night I'll often grab a packet of frozen leftovers, by the time I have walked in its ready to be heated through.
On porridge I take quick oats, milk powder and drinking chocolate all mixed together and heat to eat by adding boiling water, the drinking chocolate means you don't need to add sugar.
@erniec You're right there. I hate roast parsnips and white sauce. Yet on a sailing trip to the Sub Antarctic I can remember getting back to the boat in the evening and being so damn hungry that I was mopping up white sauce with my roast parsnip.... ;)Quote:

Nice, tasty and simple.
In Feb I walked a couple of hours into a hut for my 62nd birthday. Maybe not a favourite meal but... As I was only staying overnight, and coming out in the morning, I couldn't be arsed cooking, So I brought in 4 butter chicken pies; 2 for tea and 2 for breaky; a few bananas and a couple of apples... Oh and coffee! And a chocolate muffin as a birthday cake... A little hex tab cooker because it was mid summer and not worth lighting the fire to heat the water... What a lazy sod! A night alone in a hut for your birthday? bliss!

We dare not complain about our mates cooking, I hope you gave him a serve.
yes a bit out especially when they left all the logistics to me and just turned up ready to go in lol
my go to dish was always spaghetti bolognaise . pretty hearty feed after a good day on the hill.
When I got a Jetboil (copy) I started to vac-pac stews, curries etc and store them in the freezer. Boil them in the bag, no need for a pot and you've got hot water ready for your cuppa.
They are heavier as they are full weight meals but last well and you can chuck rice, pasta, potato flakes in the water after heating the main.
Also no messy pot afterwards
Get hold of a dehydrator and you've got the best of all the worlds! Just measure before and after dehy-ing so you know how much water to put back in. Makes you wonder what the hell they do to the commercial stuff!Quote:

Bit of veni at the hut. I try to start with fresh produce first then the dehy stuff later in the trip.
