I've always liked can tuna as it's pretty compact and nice and filling but having to lug the can both ways does add a bit to the pack weight. Has anyone found tuna in a packet instead of a can?

A stick of Salami is good. I started bringing pita bread instead of normal bread as it's not so likely to get squashed but i found it went brittle and fell into a million pieces pretty quick. What do you guys take as a carbohydrate? Crackers a good option for the tuna but I can only eat so many of those.

Cheers

Well.....lunch for me is usually

A sandwich with bread like plougmans etc suppoted by salami and cheese
+
A packet of triden Laksa noodles boiled with a continental laksa soup mix, making a nice thick broth. ( mix them together noodles and soup at the same time) tastes good and gives you a good hit of salt ....

Mixed nuts for a snack and a Tasti (brand) snack log.
