Thank you, I'm a picky eater too, so I appreciate your comments even more.

Last nights caramelized carrots were, perhaps,
the tastiest thing I've eaten in months.

may i ask exactly what 'fake meat' consists of?

Tsiangkun · Post by **Tsiangkun** » 16 Oct 2007 09:48

I like a blend of soy and wheat proteins, corn and rice flours, sausage seasonings, and bacon fat.

Is it a bit like tofu?

With the wheat in there, I imagine it is much chewier than tofu -- more like seitan.

Having bacon fat in it, is it vegan? Excuse my ignorance on this...

Tsiangkun · Post by **Tsiangkun** » 16 Oct 2007 22:28

bacon fat is not vegan, or vegetarian.

james_dean · Post by **james_dean** » 17 Oct 2007 05:32

then why not just use meat?

Lol good job confusing me more by introducing another food name in there.

Because I'm mainly concerned with making the best tasting ultralight trail foods. Making fake meat from powders is much lighter than bringing dried meats, and offers a greater amount of variety too.

You make all of this stuff you posted with just a pot and fire?

Or what do you pack on your hikes to make your meals?

Tsiangkun · Post by **Tsiangkun** » 18 Oct 2007 10:00

I made most of this in the kitchen, but I'm mostly working towards getting a backpackers cookbook published by the end of next summer.

I keep all my food and cooking supplies in this bucket.

I made my own stove and windscreen from old cans

my bowl and plate thing does double duty as a cutting board

Cool. I'd love to try taking a hike with you if I'm ever in your area. I've hiked trails before...never camped but always wanted to.
