mmm - tricky without a BBQ. Have you got a stove?? Pot noodle type stuff serves quite well and is fairly cheap

[Moonlight]

Biscuits and nuts! Amazing late-night munchies, and early breakfast

[HurrahBrother]

Brioche rolls will keep.

Peperami's too

Biltiong was intended for just this sort of thing.

Some fuits will be ok, but need care due to brusing and spoiling.

If your taking a small gas stove, anything that needs hot water becomes available.

Couscous,

Packets of Microwave rice (add half a cup of water)

Pasta (including the dreaded pot noodles)

Cuppasoups,

Smash.

I'm packing cuppa soups, smash (as emergancy food) but my stove (a small meths burner) is really just for hot water for cuppas (with dunkies) and washes.

Don't make the mistake many people make and bring way too much food, its so easy to do and you will end up throwing lots of it away.

bananas.

trackers.

Wine

Baileys (for warming coffee)!

Enough said

PRINGLES!!!

[flibbitybob]

Peanut butter sandwiches for the first few days (these make me so happy when I'm drunk). Crackers. Bombay mix (but don't eat it in the tent, it goes EVERYWHERE). Dried fruit. Tortilla chips. Doughnuts. That's my plan anyway

[Laura_Babs]

I usually bring a pack or two of pringles and some sweets. I buy most of my food there though.

A friend of mine buys packs of chilli that you just pop into hot water in the plastic to warm up. Nice and simple if you want to cook.

[Mr_Grump]

Will be bringing enough for brekkie Thurs, Fri & Sat (bacon, sausages & eggs).

Snacks for nighttime munchies will include peanuts, chilli heatwave doritos , nik-naks, pringles, brownies & muffins

'Emergency' cold weather supplies will include cuppa soup, supa-noodles, savoury rice and Batchelors Pasta 'n' sauce.

I've done this camping thing before......

we normally take a stove & make a cooked breakfast in a morning.

the only other food item we take & we always seem to run out of no matter how many we take are crumpits. perfect for that late night snack & heating up on the camp fire!

Malt loaf. And some malt loaf. And some more malt loaf. They're quite often for sale 2 or 3 for a bargain price. Excellent for breakfast, and for post-lunch pudding, and for a sugar fix if you've forgotten to eat and feel a bit weak, and for midnight feasts. It's gooey enough that you can just pull chunks of it off (no need for a knife) and it doesn't need butter or anything on it. And it's sort of healthy cos it has fruit and malt in it.

AND, you can get all squashed up in your bag and still tastes yummy.

I just bring snacky things (usualy for morning when ya still a bit too hungover to move out of the tent lol)

got a couple things that were on offer - massive pack of jammy dodgers, snack sized toffee crisps and will probs get the usual supply of haribo and some choc brioche

[Laura_Babs]

Remind me not to read food threads before breakfast!

[Man drew]

I normally take some Rice Pudding, which is good early morning food and you can eat it cold!
