>>1408707My own post-mre food typically looks like:
>soup: chicken bouillon cube, dried soup mixYou can search harmony house and pick one from them, add rice to taste and you have a GREAT meal in the cold.
>soup: ramen noodlesReally, they're not bad and they don't take up TOO MUCH space. You can (and are supposed to) break the bricks in half.
>soup (get used to soup in your canteen cup): any dried bean chili mix These are another great, compact thing to pack, cheap at most stores.
>snacks: herring in a canThis is definitely something you need to get used to, but the vitamin D and protein boost is great for me. Can heat in tin.
>snacks: trail mixNeeds no introduction, but I don't bring it often
>snacks: malted milk tabletAn oldie but a goodie, look for a recipe, they're pretty good.
>drink: coffeeSelf explanatory. Buy some instant folgers (or find a good brand online), put in ziplock, get used to black coffee
You see what I'm getting at, trying to avoid expensive meme foods that cater to a crowd. The price goes up on those specialty items. I can't recommend an investment in bouillon enough. So cheap, and they earn their place in the kit. Throw a cube in your cup as you boil some rice and you have easily tripled the palatability of white or brown rice. Any dry food that you can reconstitute with hot water, go for it. Oatmeal and muesli, dried mushrooms, onions, spinach, any vegetable. Experiment a little. Eager to get tips from other anons though.
