boiling water...

 
This is excelleent all round food for both breakfast, lunch and dinner. All you do is add 160ml of boiling water and 5 minutes later you have a nice bowl of nutritious goodness. Personally i dont care for couscous but the speed and flavour is unparallel for when your on the road and on teh move. How are you going to get your hands on boiling water though? Mmmm well it's not always possible but i guess it would rehydrate with cold as well if you are THAT hungry. The little bits of veggy and mixing in olive oil/butter and cayenne pepper make it a real treat.

Another favourite. Have some cheese handy to slice in and melt off while your rehydrating. The cup is a bit superfluous but can be handy in a pinch. Once i get my smaller titanium pot i'll probalby move onto the non-cup packaging to save space.

boiled EGGS! eggs are awesome, they can survive at least 4-5 days i reckon out in the open not in a fridge, too bad once one explodes you're left with a mess. My quick experimentation involving a mesh bag and a kettle kinda showed me that you can get some nice soft boiled eggs by boiling them in the kettle, and then leaving them in for about 10 minutes. So conceivably, you could use a dutch oven sort of a setup when there is no kettle about. The flip side is that it does require a lot of water...
