In reply to Merlin: Most of this is campsite stuff, some of this i'll take wild camping, take your pick on how much you want to carry or stuff in the car.
I also always stock up on condiments and plastic knives & forks when i stop in service stations. Sauces, sugar, salt, uht milk - its all free - he who dares wins
1 pan wonders -
Cajun Cous Cous - (definitely campsite food) fry down onion, pepper, mushroom, some chorizo or smoked sausage, garlic, throw in some cayene pepper, thyme & salt, stick in some cous cous, throw in some water/beer & wait for it to soak it up
For prepping any of the above, slice it up on the back of a crap old pan, throw it back into the tub you brought it in, then back into the frying pan when needed
Chocolate porridge - oats, raisins, nuts, whatever. I'll pre mix cocoa powder, milk powder & sugar with my oats so its a case of just add water, head up & off you go. Those little sachets of hot chocolate work well too.
Omelettes are always decent, especially if youve got leftover smoked sausage, onions & mushrooms kicking about.
Chilli & Rice - Packet of freeze dried vegetarian chilli (most supermarkets have their own brand, always under a quid, i'll always half the pack though as its too much) & some instant rice, both take the same amount of time to cook so pre mix them into the same bag. Great end of day meal, weighs nothing, really filling & generally really high in protein.
Cheesy instant mash - Cheapo mash, hot water & some parmesan cheese. Throw in some smoked sausage/onions whatever youve brought/pinched from the service station.
Instant custard & cornflakes - Dont ask, i think im the only person who enjoys this.
