Lipton dried soups taste great and are very light and cheap. They're not especially nutritious, but are worth their weight in gold if you're cold tired and hungry. Dried fruit, nuts, oatmeal, rice, M&M candy and some cheeses are also good, and if you have a little ambition, you can bake fresh bread or biscuts from dry mix.

TI> I would like to get some feed back on some inexpensive, TI> easy to prepare, nutritious foods for meals or snacks for One of my favorites is Spaghetti noodles. None of the powdered spaghetti sauces are very good and they inevitably require a can of tomato paste, however you can have a REALLY nice pasta meal with an alfredo or some other cheese sauce from a package. I tried the herb sauce once, just about killed me. Dave ...

Here is something from the BAHAI_HEALTH echo: Title: Collison's Mixture This is a passage from a manual written for Baha'i pioneers who go to underdeveloped countries and live with villagers.... COLLISON'S MIXTURE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have put this under the name of two wonderful Knights of Baha'u'llah for Africa who were very knowledgeable as regards health and food values. when visiting villagers it is both impolite and unkind -- and are they not usually synonomous? -- to refuse to eat the food they offer and yet the pioneer may find it a difficult and inadequate diet to live on; he cannot possibly carry enough of his own food to live on and share with them and their food makes him ill or constipated. To help solve this problem the Collisons devised a mixture which they took for breakfast that was highly nourishing and had a somewhat laxative effect: the proportions are 1 cup of wheat germ, 1 teaspoon brewer's yeast, 1 tablespoon powdered milk, 1 tablespoon or more of brown sugar, and dried nuts and raisins if they had any. They mixed a supply of this and carried it in a closed container and in the morning, if possible, before they found themselves in the presence of other people, they would take a half a cup of this, mixed with either hot or cold water, and if available a sliced banana could be added. As this was a dish they could quite truly take as a kind of medicine, they felt justified in keeping it for themselves and not being obliged to pass it around. The very high content of B vitamins, minerals, and calories in this mixture would sustain them throughout the day no matter what else they did or did not eat. Both wheat germ and brewer's yeast are not readily available so if one plans to carry such a combination as this, arrange to either take a supply or ensure that someone sends a supply from abroad. Gradually a person learns what things are worth spending money on and are not luxuries because they preserve health and keep down medicine and doctor's bills. Wherever milling of wheat flour takes place the by-product is wheat germ; if not available in local shops it is usually sold to poultry farms and by inquiring where the wheat germ is disposed of one may be able to get a supply. Brewer's yeast may not be available even in pharmacies, which sometimes the mixture. --- Ä [136] Fidonet: WILDRNSS (1:352/111) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ WILDRNSS Ä Msg : 20 of 97 - 19 + 21 From : Linda Martin 1:125/19 Tue 09 Nov 93 15:43 To : Trevor Inscho Subj : Trail Food...

I recommend Lipton Noodles w/ Cheese as a pretty good filler and protein source. Packaged hash brown potatoes and other dried potatoes work well too. The best is having an "Outback oven" that works on a campstove and cooking up Jiffy cornbread mix.

I do not remember the brand but there were several pasta side dishes that are fairly quick and just need water or very few "additional" ingredients.

When you are out shopping get a couple of scoops of trail mix from the bulk food store. When you get home take the trail mix and raisins and put in a handful of corn flakes and Quaker Oats or Granola which ever you prefer. Mix well and then add melted sweetened bakers chocolat and alllow to cool cut into squares and wrap in stretch wrap. An easy meal we have made on a hike is to take two Beef patties cut two potatos into thin slices,cut a carrot and an onion into small pieces Take a large piece of tin foil place a slice of bread for each beef patty put the patties on the bread,then the potatos,carrots,onion add a second slice to form a top add salt and pepper to taste.Then add two Tblespns of water and cooking oil. seal tightly and place on the coals of a fire: 15 minutes should cook the dinner to near prefection. Btw the bread keeps the meat from from burning and scortching. L8r Ken --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Do To The Lack Of Interest-Tomorrow Has Been Cancelled (1:247/311)
