If you haven't anything to keep it cool then avoid any thing which might spoil.
So no dairy and no meat.
Fruit, veg and pasta or rice or tinned stuff.
You can still make a mean pasta or chilli easily   |

Tins, dry pasta, pasta sauces, rice, or you can buy boil in the bag stuff from camping shops, be carefull tho, some can be expensive.
If you know a squaddie, get him to chuck you some of the "ratpack" main meals, much improved over the last 10 years or so!  |

Ambient temp stuffed pasta is a good choice (tortellini/ravioli etc) the stuff that doesn't need to be refrigerated. One of those little stir in sauces is just enough for one pack.
Obviously tinned stuff.
Veggies tend to keep when kept cool instead of refrigerated. You can fry/grill/griddle asparagus, sweetcorn and peppers.
If you fancy meet for your first meal freeze it so it defrosts during the first day.
porridge is the perfect camping breakfast.
Contrary to what many believe eggs do not need to be refrigerated and make a great meal.
Veggie chilli or Bolognese comes dried in packets and you just add water and heat, it can be served with pasta or rice. |

"Pringles are all you need!

The briefcase ones are really good. Easy to change the gas, no pipes to mess with and packs up small. |

Well, a quick rummage in my "cupboard of wonder" has revealed British Army Ration Pack Menu B, (yes, there were different menus!) plus a box full of assorted main meals (Chicken tikka, sausage n beans, Tuna Rigatoni etc) and puddings (Treacle Sponge, Custard Sponge, Chocolate pudding.... erm, thats a sponge too... they are keen on sponges lol), all boil in the bag, and a few assorted bits n pieces..... so if you get desperate, or want to sample some "squaddie cuisine", mosey on over to the chuck wagon, erm, I mean our tent, and I'm sure we can come to a mutually beneficial arrangement lol! |

"Leave them in their bag. You be surprised how long they last  "
Have you ever tried the "plastic ice cubes" for your drinks ?
They look like they could be fun in more ways than one  |
