Whats your favourit food/product to take for Bikepacking from the local supermarkets(Rema/Kiwi/…)?
In Germany there are some nice precooked Rice-Dishes which are easy to prepare&fast to heat up. Im searching for solid food, other then Pasta, to prepare after a long cycling day 🙂

Turmat – just add hot water and you have a hot 600kcal meal to enjoy: https://www.xxl.no/jakt-tur/villmark/turutstyr/turmat/c/200406

Food on the trail is perhaps the biggest challenge of all. I once backpacked with a group whose leader served us (real) strawberry shortcake and gave me a cold Guinness..
Look for backpacking cookbooks for recipes
Google & search youtube for ‘camping groceries norway’

Sorted. Have not actually tried any yet but I will. You got to love the Gnocchi & Blue Cheese one

@GavinT I bought that ebook and was not terribly enthused by the contents. Too often they have a recipe that starts at home and is then finished on the trail. That’s not helpful if your trip spans more than one or two days.

@falk.lensing There is a lot of content on YT about cold soaking meals for the trail. Good idea but I like a warm meal whenever I can get one.
But something just came up in my YT feed … rice cooker meals. From what I have seen, they should be directly transferable to one-pot meals on the trail.
I am hoping that groceries will readily available on my upcoming trip. Imagine cooking a Norwegian salmon dinner in camp! I could do something like that day after day after day.
But I will always carry a freeze-dried meal or two just for insurance against starvation.

Thanks for your ideas, looks like i will have some options other then Skoleboller 😉 Turmat is on the shoppinglist. The informations about the cookbooked helped since i will probably wont precook anything on my 3 weekholiday. Gnocchi and Blue Cheese sound amazing though.

Couscous – cheap, doesn’t need cooking, just pour on boiling water and wait a few minutes. I usually add some herbs and spices for flavour and when opportunity arises I’ll pick up something to add variety, for example a tin of tuna / mixed nuts / tomatoes / avocado / fresh stinging nettles (yes, seriously) / sweetcorn / etc etc. Almost anything will go with it.

Here’s a good one. I sized it down to a 2-person meal and cooked it up tonight (in my kitchen).
This would transfer easily into a camp meal if most or all of the ingredients are available at a grocery stop just before camp.

I have sized it down further to single serving and simplified the ingredients list (all it takes is ghee, asparagus, salmon, bouillon, orzo, water) so this is an easy meal for the trail or ride.
It is now my favorite way to cook salmon.
1) melt a bit of ghee in the bottom of a pan or pot sized to fit the salmon you want to prepare.
2) cook the salmon in the ghee, 2 minutes on each side, remove from pan and set aside.
3) Add water to the pan/pot and when warm enough to melt the bouillon add the bouillon and melt it
4) Add the orzo that looks like it will fill you up. It should be completely cover the orzo.
5) Add the asparagus that you’ve cut into 1-inch pieces. It should be barely expose to air when it settles on top of the orzo.
6) Lay the salmon filet on top of the asparagus (I like it skin side up).
7) Cover the pot for 10 minutes. Test the orzo for doneness. If it’s close enough it will continue to soften while you enjoy the meal.
The next time I make this I will probably jazz it up w/some cherry tomatoes and/or peppers and maybe think of an alternative to the asparagus if I can’t find it fresh in the store
This is super easy and super delicious
