Reiter Travellunch is freeze-dried, prepare in the pouch lightweight camping food.
New to us on the
lightweight
camping food scene is German brand
Reiter Travellunch
which is designed to be prepared in and eaten from its own foil pouch.
Reiter says that the meals in the
range have been specially formulated to offer the right nutritional
balance for expeditions, long distance walks and other adventurous
activities. They do have a decent calories count, the top-selling Beef
and Potato Hotpot recipe, for example, contains 561 Calories per pouch.
Ingredients, says the company, are sourced fresh and then freeze-dried
to retain as much taste and texture as possible. There are no added
preservatives and the pouches will keep for years. There's a wide range
of options too, with some 31 choices covering breakfast, soup, main
meal and desserts.
Sitting on our desk, for example, are Vegetable Pasta Siciliana with
Olives, Beef Stroganoff, Meatballs and Mashed Potatoes and, to finish
off, Chocolate Mousse. The main courses weigh 125g each while the
mousse - simply add cold water and stand - tips the scale at 100g.
Because the meals are prepared simply by opening the pouch, adding
water and leaving the meal to stand, there's no need for extra pans or
even cutlery in most cases, a spoon or spork should be enough.
All well and good, but how does it taste? We've heard positive reports,
not least about the chocolate mousse, but we haven't sampled the
Travellunch range ourselves yet. Taste impressions once we have, but
