    how long does it take to cook the tortellini? I would love this with a little olive oil and parmesean cheese topping it.

    I throw some in a pot of cold water. Bring to boil on my Snow Peak Giga stove. Remove and cozy for about five minutes. Drain, garnish, and enjoy!

    Precooked bacon is shelf stable, You can make it at home the dryer the better.

    You good folks are still talking cooking and boiling thou. This is more about scarfing direct from a grocery store.

    Default Grocery store backpacking food

    I may have misread the the OP, but I thought he was just referring to prepackaged backpacking food, such as Mountain House and others. He doesn't seem to explicitly say he's against cooking any food.

    That's true. In fact, the OP talks about Knorr sides, grits, etc., for which you need to boil water and cook.
    Some people take the straight and narrow. Others the road less traveled. I just cut through the woods.

    Vegemite - (I have tried it) almost UN-findable on the east coast unless in a specialty store. It's not considered heathy in spite of the b vitamins. It may be confiscated at customs - that has happened before. Americans flat out don't care for it.... Here is a recent example

    President Barack Obama, in response to a question in March 2011 during a joint visit with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard to a high school in Virginia, gave his impression of Vegemite by stating "It’s horrible" and, following a description by Ms. Gillard, summarised it with "So it's like a quasi-vegetable by-product paste that you smear on your toast for breakfast - sounds good, doesn't it?"

    Yes I know it's still cooking but, how about powdered whole eggs, love them for breakfast, and if you mix a little in your regular meal, it adds texture that feels like meat. Anyway.

    Freeze dried dinners are an interesting subject. Some can be quite tasty. But most dinners are bulky, very expensive, high in sodium and many have low caloric density. It is probably best to minimize their use to a few dinners on a trip. Try to make some simple dinners of your own based on ingredients like instant rice, instant mashed potatoes or whole wheat cous cous.

    A bag of mini pepperoni rolls makes a nice lunch for the first couple of days.

    I dehydrate most of my own backpacking food...some meals...some individual ingredients. It works for me! Maddog
