How can you say it's nasty, when nobody even knows what's in it? ;-)
My favorite meal on the trail is Johnsonville bedder cheddar way better than a hot dog and easy to heat up.
You sure you don't mean Easy Cheese:
It's a common mistake, but if you want yer cheese from a spray can (and who doesn't?), Easy Cheese is the way to go!
Nope cheese whiz in a jar bro dunk them like a cookie in milk.You sure you don't mean Easy Cheese:

So this is WAY off topic, but if you ever get a chance to SCUBA dive around a reef (I did it in Cozumel), or any place where there's a high concentration of fish. Take some aerosol cheese down with you, swim into the middle of a school of fish, and run a bead across the front of your mask. Every event in your life, you will henceforth refer to as having happened either before or after that moment :-)

Mic drop ;-)
Oh snap, the aerosol cheese market is much more robust than I imagined!

I think this question is better suited for this part of the forum.. if not please move it!
But I'm wondering, what kind of food you haul into camp, or just when overlanding or going places?
I don't really carry much because in Europe we are always close by a shop really. But I'm just wondering what you all bring so we can all get some idea's off each other :)

Generally speaking, sine I have a fridge, I bring a pound of ground beef, some sandwich prep items for lunches, lots of water and beer, and usually something from the frozen section at Costco that can be reheated on my Skottle, like carnitas and tortillas or the like...
I've never carried a fridge. Never had much use for one. I start with most everything Pre-frozen in a cooler and eat what thaws out first. Works for me for about 4 days as a rule. Past that I have to find some ice.
I try to be low maintenance. Breakfast is cold cereal or oatmeal. Staying low maintenance is easy because I'm a terrible cook. Lol
Lunch is sandwiches. So sandwich meat bread and some veggies on it.
Dinner: garlic coil, Kubasa, potatoes, something like that. I also like frying up some hamburger and dumping in a jar of salsa... that's a bad cooks version of chilli. :-)
Snacks: fruit, nut mix, granola bars etc.

For the most part with a fridge or good cooler, you can take just about anything. It's really up to you to decide what you want to deal with on the trail.
Personally, I try to avoid taking raw meat except for steak. There's usually not a lot of blood in the packaging (I'll stick it in a ziplock to be sure it doesn't leak) season it in the packaging and toss it on the Skottle and season the other side. Bacon leaves a lot of grease after cooking and there's not always a fire going to dump it in. Waiting for it to cool can take too long if you're wheels up early in the morning, and carrying the grease in the Trasharoo is a good invite for bears. I'll half cook the bacon at home and wrap it in foil. It cooks faster and the amount of grease left over is just enough to cook eggs for a breakfast burrito without a lot of the cleanup. Chicken releases a lot of water while in the bag, and is just messy. Occasionally I'll take hamburgers, and they are cooked the first night out. I preform the patties at home and wrap them in cling wrap, and they all go into a ziplock bag (sometimes 2 bags). One of my favorites are precooked, smoked pork chops. They really just need to be heated and don't have to worry about food borne illness as much.

I would like some information on what foods people carry on there trips. I need stuff that is quick and easy to make and cook from either cooked on the fire or on an LP stove.

I carry Wise or Mountain House about as easy as you can get.

I usually just do sausage dogs on the skottle. Doesn't take long.....skillet or grill works too. Sausages are already cooked and just need to be heated up.

Chicken sausages....pre sliced onions in a zip-lock bag...easy and tasty !

Chicken fajitas are pretty easy camp food, unless it needs stored for a couple days, then go with freeze-dried.
