For some reason, I thought this thread was about foods you can eat on the trail, as in while hiking.

Can it be eaten on the trail, though? I would be willing to conduct the experiment. I will require 3 trays of fudge. up.gif up.gif

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

Strawberry bannana Power Gel (by Power Bar) packed with electrolytes and caffiene. Fruit Loop and Cinnamon Crunch cereal bars are pretty good for something sweet. Gorp is too heavy...

baseball and hiking ... that's life!

Got to have: Old Wisconsin Beef Sticks - Tastes Good and will last forever. M&M's - Melts in mouth not in your hands Nutri Grain Fruit bars - Just like a pop tart but doesn't fall apart as easy.

I have not led a sheltered life, but I had never tried Wasabi Peas. Based on the recommendations here, I bought my first $3.49 tub of Wasabi Peas today and tried them. I truly like foods of all kinds — but sorry to report: I found the Wasabi Peas to be, shall we say, an acquired taste.

wasabi peas are an acquired taste for sure, but once you acquire it, yum!! There is just something about that crunch........ On daytrips I'll pack string cheese, almonds, dried apricots (without sulfur dioxide) and a peanut butter and raisin sandwich. The less processed foods, the better.

Every day a new adventure.

trail food
I enjoy lipton noodle dinners or even ramon. If you bring powdered milk and marjorine you can score an awesome dinner (lots of calories per ounce of weight). Trail mixes will fill the rest of a diet for a 7 day hike. Trail mix with cashews always gives you much energy per pound as well. My favorite though is Southern Comfert with trail mix. The thought of a nice bottle of SC after a long hike can definitely help for a nice hike with memories (or lack thereof wink.gif)

As you push off from the shore, won't you turn your head once more, to make your peace with everyone And for those who choose to stay, You'll live for one more day, to do the things you should have done. -Ian Anderson

This is getting away from the snack part of trail snacks but anyway if you are into high calories per ounce then olive oil is a great add-on. It can be anywhere from 200-250 calories per ounce which is about as high a ratio as any food I know of. Much higher than standard freeze dried food even if you add in the weight of a small plastic bottle of some sort and you can add a tablespoon of olive oil to almost any meal. And it tastes good and it is relatively good for you- I believe- at least as far as oils go. I just tried the Lipton Thai Sesame Noodle, that was a real good one.

Nature Valley bars, beef sticks, string cheese, and trail mix makes a great lunch/snack.

another favorite trail snack: sesame snaps smile.gif cheap, 230 calories per pack, durable and won't melt in hot weather like candy bars will. some brands are made with cane sugar, some with honey, both taste really good smile.gif costco's kirkland fruit 'n' nut mix is good stuff as well.

I've been doing some ramen research. I think ramen is a great cheap thing to eat int he backcountry, especially some of the better ones. I think I've found the perfect ramen: Shin Ramyun Noodle Soup spicy Korean Ramen They have it at the Ballard Market for $1.29 a pack. Sure that's a lot for ramen, but it's a big pack and it is hands down the best ramen I've ever had.
