 Speaking of pizza, you can get a great Musk Ox Pizza just across the road from the airport at Kangerlussuaq. I think of it as the 'Pizza Hut'... because it's a hut... and it does pizza!

 I had a great lunch today of Siberian reindeer from Lidl. Quite delicious - some of the best game I've eaten.

 You'd need to test whether olive oil will work for you: apart from whether you really fancy all your meals being extra oily, it apparently gives some people diarrhoea when taken in larger than usual quantity. I'm told avocado oil does not solidify in the cold, unlike olive oil. You'd also need to be careful the oil did not go rancid and was totally 100% leakproof.
I was told by the Sami boatman on Lake Alesjaure (Kungsleden/ Lapland) that the winner of the previous years Fjällräven Classic was fuelled by a runners belt with small bottles of rapeseed oil.

Good thread! FWIW, I use oatcakes for lunch, with a couple of cheese wedges each. The wedges last forever even in the heat of a Moroccan desert - still ok after three weeks. Hate to think what's in them. I have found the best oatcakes are the Pattersons 'Olive' (from Tesco) as they are slightly thicker than others (six in a sealed pack of 75gm rather than the common 7, so less liable to breakage. One pack per person is fine. Then trail mix for dessert, about 60 - 70gm.

Had them cheese wedges and the 'soft' ones, (like "dairylea"), don't know what's in them either, but taste nice and keep for weeks!! Morocco is a place to visit, so much to do, deserts, mountains, climbing, sking, mountaineering, and if it's your thing, great beaches. If I get to Nepal, afterwards I'd happly spend the rest of my trips in Maroc.

Poste restante seems to work well,ive used it to get marmite sent out to me in the most obscure of destinations.Marmite keeps well and of course is delicious.(for some)

.Marmite keeps well and of course is delicious.(for some) Wish they sold it in tubes, though. Ditto Bovril.

Like Julian I've used poste restante though only in the UK, one post office sent a parcel back free of charge when I rang them to say I wouldn't be there to collect it!

Kish - thanks. We were away for 3 1/2 to 4 weeks in Jebel Sirwa and Jebel Sahro, late April/early May. It was later than ideal as my mate was in Oz earlier. So it was, at times, flippin hot! The 'deserts' were more like a stoney plain, open, featureless, devoid of water - but had to be crosed to get into the mountains. We had, I think, all our food for the whole trip but left what we did not want at a guest house at the start of each of the two parts. This was an ideal way to deal with things as one's gear is totally safe - and it is not expensive, and puts a little into the local economy. Anyway, we were eating these wedges right to the end, and they were still fine. And no need for marge or butter, which there would have been hopeless. God knows what's in them to make them last so well!
