Next trip... I'm going retro...
View attachment 19661
Pack of four... should last half a day...
All I need now is Opal Fruits...
The summiteers choice; Tunnocks Caramel Wafer. .
Quite; but the plain chocolate one....
Also available in a hiker-friendly package:My son won the fanciest lunch award though this summer when he opened his pack to reveal a little jar of caviar to dollop on his crackers. Flash sod. My plan to top him when we go camping at xmas is to take some really good pate and a half bottle of champagne.
I got fed up with dried meat/cheese/oatcakes/snickers so I had a thorough root around Tescos last year and the best thing I found was John West (and other brands) little no-fridge plastic tubs with tuna, salmon, crab etc. They weigh very little but make a really tasty lunch on crackers.
Surely @Lempo you would know how good those Sachets are with Arnotts Shapes? I saw them in NZ. No mess -crumble the salty, carbo rich shapes into the sachet and take a trip to gourmand heaven. BBQ shapes and tuna mmmmUS style pouches are also available.

I did saw them there, but funnily enough the only time I ate them was when I spent a few weeks in Perth. I can't remember the flavour though, I just bought a flavour that was on sale. I have to say I prefered sour cream & onion rice cakes over Shapes.
Muriel Gray went on about the squashed mars bar in of my favourite books: The First Fifty - Munroe Bagging Without a Beard.I usually carry a snickers bar (or2) and then they come home with me again - usually in a different "shape" from when they left - having been melted and squashed a bit.
Our fridge is rift with such items…..
Last night I over-roasted some Halloumi slices. They were dark golden brown. I thought they were ruined, but they were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, so they lost a lot of water. I think I'll try to make Halloumi 'crisps' by chopping it into smallish cubes and then roast until they are golden.
The same can be done with Cheddar or other fatty cheese. Once you remove the water, bacteria doesn't like to grow on fat, so you should be fine a few days just like with Chorizo etc. High protein, high fat and high calorie food.
My daughter brought back "Lava snacks" from Iceland, which were based on the bits of toasted cheese that had fallen onto the grillpan.
Probably the first time I've heard anyone refer to pemmican outside of the Swallows and Amazons stories!I dont need lunch how i eat, regardless of calories burnt...but if i do feel the need...home made unmarinated jerky works...or a big lump of Pemmican
