essential foods in your pack

[Lewi]

as with survival kits you would pick items that have many uses, what would you pack foodwise on a weekend trip to keep to maximise space and why?

Salami, salami and some salami. There is nothing better on a spring and summer evening than being sat in a woodland, listening to all the wild birds and munching on a freshly cooked green stick salami kebab.

At this time of year.
Porridge, great to warm you up in the morning and filling.
Chorizo, tasty easy snack.

beef jerky, weight hardly anything, tastes good, can be added to other food or eaten alone and lasts ages
