Anything warm imo. Few people here talking down cup-o-noodles. But honestly they're great when it's been a long day and it's starting to get cold. Throw in some extra dehydrated vegetables and beef jerky. Great moral booster.
Cooking something you caught. I find fileting and frying up/baking fish always seems to 'boost' moral. I don't hunt, but imagine the same applies.
>refried beansDehydrates great. On flat bread makes a great meal.
>cous cousI tried this guys reciepe for Cous Cous. It was incredibly filling and good. Make sure your cans of tomatoes are the same size as his(15 oz I think). Didn't realize mine were twice the size of his and I had to make a double batch.

This makes rehydrating much simpler and faster. I didn't have one and tried to chop everything a fine as possible. When rehydrating a few of the bigger pieces of meat were still a bit hard.
>ChiliChili is a pain to rehydrate. As dried beans need to be soaked.
When I rehydrated my chili(30 minutes) the beans were still a bit crunchy.
Next time, I'd just keep the dehydrated ingredients separate(veggies, ground meat, beans, etc). And soak the beans in a Nalgene or something a few hours before setting up camp. Then just throw it all in a pot and let it rehydrate.
>Bannock/FlourI just bring a big ziploc/resealable bag of flour. And then smaller bags of things to add to it.
>powdered milk, sugar, spice mix, baking soda, lard, etcAdding one or two things to flour you can make pancakes(sugar+powdered milk), flat breads(oil+baking powder), bannock loafs(baking powder+powdered milk[helps it rise more]), fish batter(spice mix), thicken soups or gravies, etc etc.
