allison Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Got to second the vote for Tasty Bites Indian Food. A little heavy, so you eat it on the first day out. Add chicken and you really have a feast. sometimes I think I'll nver get lightweight and tasty in the same sentence. All the good stuff weighs. Â I'd like to add here that Dru seems to have a liking for canned peaches, but that may be more of a camping sort of thing. Â I tried to do some stuff with a food dehydrator last year but it was all sort of nasty. Anyone have good luck with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coondog Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Couscous is the ticket: light, easy to cook, high carbs & glycemic index... like to spice it up with something from the bulk spices section, summa the greens littering Muir snowfield from people not roasting in the hut, add some tuna or maybe salami... Ummmmmmmm. Ate different couscous for 4 dinners straight on a trip a few weeks ago and didn't die, so it's got a lot going for it. Â Or cheese fondue. Â And I like a Nalgene of riesling to wash it down with... Â --cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwills Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 chocolate covered espresso beans are a must (or tylenol for the ensuing headache due to no caffiene), something tasty for the summit (muffin, nutty bar), snyders pretzles, some gu for emergencies, something simple to cook for dinner (rice, no cous cous, pasta, etc).

IceIceBaby Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Hi Allison, The dehydrators working fine if you cut the veggies or meats to a small pieces also in order to achieve good results you need a good dehydrator (i.e. even and constant heating temperature in the dehydrator) the one I have very good experience with is Excalibur it will pay in the long run for it self with the money you save on food BTW there is nothing out there like home cooking dehydrated food  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Its pretty hard to dehydrate watermelon and what you are left with is not that appetizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizard_brain Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 On winter trips I like to take sushi. Mmmmmmm sushi - especially when your friends are eating power bar imitation lawn sausages for lunch. Only good in the winter, though. Doesn't keep long on hot summer trips - starts getting pretty ripe in your pack in just an hour or so.

Bronco Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I like poptarts. really, lots of calories and carbs and not too much sugar for a pre-climb brekfast or a snack. Especially at altitude where oatmeal tastes like ...oatmeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Snafflehoundjaeger and peregrine wingz... justlike in the "olden days" when climbers used to bag goats and marmots for dinner... now all them critters are gone so we must eat the plentiful 'hound. Â Whiskey jacks can be trained to land in your hand too. They are feathery but 24 or so would make a good pie. Â Who am I kidding. I take along extra nuts just to feed to the alpine moochers.
