We had to carry food for 14 days on our backs - therefore everything with
high calories to weight ratio is suitable. We took oat-meal cereal with
nuts and raisins for breakfast and a good selection of rice, noodles, and
potato-powder for the evening hot meal. In addition we had a great selection
of dried vegetables to go with the rice etc. and dried fruits to go with
the cereal for breakfast.
Also we carried milk poweder (to make milk and yoghurt, but also to make
soups and sauces), flour (to bake bread and to make sauces), and egg powder
(to make pancakes). Since we were hiking end of August and beginning of
September, we were able to add mushrooms, blueberries, and cranberries to
our diet.
We are proud of having had the best food possible - without carrying a single bag of instant-meal or instant-sauce! All the dried fruits and vegetables were self prepared. Look at our list of expedition food to be inspired.
