Re: [Paddlewise] Eating & Drinking on the Water

I'm looking for what's your usual kayaking sustenance!

OK, I have a different problem, I'm gluten intolerant. So, no wheat, barley 
or rye, or anything that includes said items- most insidious are malt (in lots 
of candies), modified food starch (lots of commercial soups) and caramel color 
(lots of everything). I'm ok with oats, some gluten free sufferers are not. I 
eat on the water as I eat at home.
    For lunch I usually take a vacuum container (good stainless steel ones 
are on the market) of homemade soup, with either commercial gluten free crackers 
or tortilla (corn) chips or potato chips, and a soda, and apple or fruit, and 
something chocolate. Stagg Chili (canned) is gluten free so sometimes it's 
chili, instead. For on the water, I found an apparently wheat free granola bar 
at Costco, seems to digest ok, and water. They also have a processed fruit bar 
that is ok.
    For longer trips, I can freeze the homemade soup and use it as part of my 
packing material for food. I have not found any dehydrated/ freeze dried main 
dishes or meals that I can eat. Also I can freeze rice with stirfry (need to 
use wheat free soy sauce such as La Choy). I can plan on potatoes and eggs for 
breakfast or dinner. There's a great precooked bacon out that's easy to pack 
and doesn't even need refrigeration!
       Breakfast-  If I have milk (also freezable but difficult to thaw) I 
will take Rice Chex, now gluten free. Cheerios aren't. Instant oatmeal is 
usually ok, I find the organic versions have never given me problems. Raisins are 
good, dried fruit is good. Fresh fruits and veggies are good but usually not 
practical.
       There is lots more garbage to haul back with this menu than with 
freeze dried, but the food is edible, and I enjoy the trip!
