[pct-l] Food

[CWillett at pierce.ctc.edu (Chris Willett)]

People do use these types of things, but cost and the lack of fat generally mitigate against their use.  I don't particularly like the taste of some of the different kinds, either.  Of course, you could carrying olive oil to make up for the lack of fat, but the amount of calories you need means that you'll end up going though 6 or 10 portions per meal.  That will become very expensive in a great hurry.

People talk a lot about what kind of food to bring, but I seldom (never?) see people recommend the freeze dried food in packages that you can buy at REI or Adventure 16 etc.  Is it because of the price?  It seems to me that these foods would offer variety.  Would it be a major faus pax on the trail to open up a Beef Stroganoff with noodles and peas?
