I got a foil pouch of chicken to add to each of my meals on my last trip. I figured plain chicken couldn't be bad. Turns out I didn't like that either. I am about to give up and become a vegetarian while backpacking. I never get tired of lentils, bean, nuts, cheese, etc...

And just in case you were unaware,in Austin Minnesota you can visit the Spam museum. Not many foods have a dedicated museum...
Makes a great trail meal, IMO. Instant rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles + dehydrated veggies + herbs/spices + a pouch of chicken or SPAM and you have endless possibilities.
SPAM's not going to win any "healthy" awards, but on the trail it's a good source of fat, protein and salt (electrolytes for the modernists).
Could try this instead of Spam Sweet Sue Chicken Breast, 3 Oz
Just enough to mix with rice or ramen for a meal
I like Landjagger, a semi dried German sausage that doesn’t require refrigeration. In Atlanta I can get it at Patak, a place that does all kinds of smoked European meats. They will ship some of their products.

Shelter mice can also be a delicious addition to Ramen.
You know the old saying? In GA, the shelter mice are cute. In PA, there food.
Maybe.....Mice-a-ramen
On another post ETtrailrunner is looking for a 20 liter daypack. That's 46 cans of Spam (20oz) or 23 cans of brown bread with raisins (16 oz).
