This can be eaten like trail mix, avoiding clean up. I have my own version of 'super oatmeal.' Dry, it sorta melts in your mouth. Other staples include pepper jack cheese, peanut butter, trail mix, and Snicker bars. Restaurants when available and in the mood. Rarely cook anymore, other than to boil water for coffee in the AM. An esbit stove works for that. When touring, eating is a necessity, not a goal.
