Thread: Freeze dried food options....whats your favourite???

hi guys, im looking into buying some freeze dried foods as a reduce weight option in my pack....

im after FLAVOUR advice, nothing else, i know they will all give me nutrition (i hope)

two people on my last trip both voted for 'Back Country' Thai chicken curry or 'anything with a sauce in it'

what are your choices please??????

In back country I like the spaghetti bol and the morrocan lamb.

I mostly get those flavoured packets of tuna and mix with instant mash potato. Cheap, light and good

My mother in law gave me some of the self heating meals. The self hearing thing was neat but they were pretty rank.

I made my own. Cooked up a bunch of mince in a nice bolognese sauce. Then dried it in the oven. Keep it in the freezer till I'm ready to use it.
Works mint.

anything without vege in it !!

What's wrong with vege @gonetropo?

Have yet to have a bad meal from absolute wilderness, back country doesn’t even compare. The absolute wilderness stuffs looks and tastes like real food

+1 wilderness stew is my favorite and take a bit off mashed potatoe to go with it.

Their Eggs and bacon for breakfast is delicious.

Radix nutrition, then Absolute Wilderness, and I'd have to be just about starving before eating BackCountry cardboard

A useful trick with the backcountry meals is to wrap them in a jacket or sleeping bag to keep them warm while they rest, and rest them for about twice as long as it says on the packet. They may be edible after 10 minutes, but they're far nicer and closer to real food after 20.

With Back Country when possible we add the water to the bags in the morning and let them soak all day, then just heat at meal time. Makes them a lot more edible

Hmmm - now there's an idea - I must try one with it reheated in the bag in the billy i.e. double boiler as the water can then be a brew . . . . but if you already do it you can have all the credit haha
