+1 for washing the bottle. We've flown without problems doing this.
+1 MSR Dragonfly. we used to use the Whisperlight but didn't like the difficulty with simmering. We eat seriously well and I have happily cooked a 3 course dinner for 5 without the fuel running out numerous times a la Trangia
"i'm thinking of ditching the cooking gear, just don't know what id eat ?"
Huh?? Do you cook at home?. Do a search, there's heaps of good ideas in the archives.
What I might make though are some tomato and basil bruschetta, followed by a mushroom, and prosciutto risotto accompanied by a nice wine. Perhaps crepes for desert.
