I'm with Sardog; smoked kippers are my morning eye-opener (!), along with instant oatmeal, and Earl Grey. One can contains half a day's protein, even more than sardines. And on those congealey-cold Fall mornings - YUM !
Just wish kippers came in a pouch, like tuna (and salmon, and crabmeat, and shrimp...). That oily, flat peel-back can seems like it would be a bear-beacon, even after a hot rinse (FAR, far from camp !), and ziplock.
Sugar snap peas sound like good trail food ! So are those net-bags of "little yellow cheese pills", which you can buy even from one-store grocers (pack out the wax!). Tried vegetarian pate on one trip, but OD'd and can't touch the stuff now. Asparagus mini-spears, anyone ?
Instant hummus mix, in 2 (nested) mini-Tupperwares: pour the day's ration from the inner and rehydrate AM in the outer.
BTW: an emptied Pringles mini-can
is a good carrier for cookies, chips or other breakables.
