Food update

In addition to my post 1st May 2013 i've reflected (and experimented) further with the campfood ideas.  Preparation remains the same but some slight changes to ingredients allowing for a veggie option:

(i've also included specific brands.  Sometimes not the 'budget' option but i've stated reasons why)

Dinner

- Uncle Bens boil in the bag 125g wholegrain rice - the bags are well designed with tabs and tear lines in the right places to avoid burn issues, plus the rice tastes better.

- Merchant Gourmet sun dried tomatoes - Great taste, slightly moist and still last well

- Pre cooked puy lentils (Merchant Gourmet or other brand) - Veggie option, taste, nutritional value

- Vegetable stock cube

- Smoked Cheese (optional)

- Merchant Gourmet Porcini mushrooms (optional) - Much better than dried due to cooking time although they have a powerful flavour.

Approx: Weight 330g, Cooking time 8 mins, Calories 650, size of a wayfarer, once opened lasts about 5 days

Breakfast

Same as before except substitute the sugar and coconut for custard power (thanks BeesBeans).  Easier to prepare pre trip and tastes great in the morning.
