I was only in Cebu. For about a month. I don't think I saw it.

Chicago dogs from Portillo's for lunch. Pretty tasty but I like the Eye-talian beef better.

Handy as hell when camping....

I dunnonabout minute rice...but those freeze dried meals, the Mountain House ones are actually pretty damn good. Or, at least they taste pretty damn good after long days of hiking or hunting. They've come a long long ways since when I first starting eating in the woods.

I think in Boy Scouts we brought Backpackers Pantry -- which from my memory were delicious -- but on a much smaller scale than the people eating a mouse on Alone, it was likely because I was so hungry.

3 essentials when i go back-packing

just add water mac & cheese
raman (or the like)
instant oatmeal

instant oatmeal is a key for quick easy calories

but what's the key to quick easy fundraising?

What do people add to instant oatmeal ( not while backpacking ) ?
I rarely eat it but if I do i'm a brown sugar or honey/almonds/blueberry guy.

i splurge and buy the flavored stuff…maple & brown sugar, peaches & cream, and apples & cinnamon

Apples and cinnamon guy here as well.

I remember as a kid my rents would buy the combo pack.

I'd rank em like this:

Apples & Cinnamon
Peaches & Cream
Maple & Brown Sugar
Cinnamon & Spice

Then there was the Kellog's combo pack:

Apple Jacks
Corn Pops
Frosted Flakes
Froot Loops
Honey Smacks
Rice Crispies
Corn Flakes
Raisin Bran

peanut butter
peanut butter and cinnamon
apple and cinnamon
maple and brown sugar
marshmallows
