None.
Restaurants have food, gas stations or grocery stores have microwaves, city parks have BBQs, Campgrounds have fire rings, people have stoves you can befriend and in the meantime use a raw diet or steep your food.
True story,
We had a casual day, but this was our first meal and only meal.
A alcohol burner guy was cooking pasta at elevation 6000.
I ate my dinner which was tortilla P&Bs, green beans, and apricots. .5 gallon Milk with protein shake mix. (pasteurized milk can last a long time with out a fridge. )
He started the grass on fire and wasted a lot of alcohol because of the wind. He carried a fifth of fuel, and some cookware. It took him 40 mins to be able to eat, then another 20 to eat, and then another 10 to clean up.
I wrapped my finger around a tortilla and grab some peanut butter for my 4 tortillas. I was done before he even got to eat.
