Food to take bikepacking.

[psling]

I work on the basis that first night in you're going to eat it and won't carry it any further so a little bit of (slightly heavier) luxury is worth the effort for a one-nighter or the first night of a multi-nighter. At this year's WRT my first-night meal was steak ragu pappardelle - 4 minutes reheat in the pan - accompanied by a glass of red brought along by Kevin (Raggedstone) which was an unexpected bonus
On the other hand, a more recent multi-nighter with Kevin and Reg resulted in pub evening meals and cafe breakfasts (mainly to just get out of the rain ).

Another little luxury for me, I carry a small container of fresh milk for camp breakfasts and tea / coffee. My camp breakfast is usually a homemade granola + cereal mix with milk - I have a nut allergy so have to be very careful with mueslis and granolas and cannot do the usual nut energy snacking that most people enjoy.

small container of fresh milk for camp breakfasts and tea / coffee.

Definitely. I have a small 175ml milk container that I nicked, I mean recycled, from a school (Regger, Regger, milk snatcher... no that doesn't quite work). Fill it with milk at home, freeze it solid, take it on the ride, defrosted by breakfast time.

Alternatively, I seem to have a small knack of blagging milk from pubs/cafes/houses/anybody etc in the afternoon/evening before I kip.

Definitely said this on another food thread, but for savoury heft and decent calories, I like to take roasted new potatoes with salt and pepper on, in a re-usable ziplok bag...good to snack on at any time, and have used them on longer rides as a snack too. Also, bagels with marmite or cheese or peanut butter. Can't resist a soft-baked cereal bar or 3 either.

Boil them in the water? (urk)

That would seem to defeat the point of the carefully melted and reset butter.

Come to that, what sort of sausages are going to fit in a tiny one-egg frying pan? Maybe those little cocktail sausage things?

Using cocktail sausages to make a 'full English' you'd presumably need correspondingly tiny wrens' eggs, baby toms, bark mycena mushrooms, etc etc.

(sorry Stevo, I'm dissing your breakfast here! As a non-consumer of eggs or sausages you can safely ignore my ramblings).

I always take precooked bacon so I can have bacon rolls and coffee for breakfast. I’ll take some form of dried meal as backup but will usually stop at shops for lunch and try and plan routes that facilitate a pub/takeaway for dinner
