I like the sound of that, will check my local store. I really enjoy good chanachur, but it has to have lots of sultanas - they are too sparse in the ones in supermarkets here as bhuja mix.jitubisht wrote:Let me add something Indian in the mix
We get this -> Poha Breakfast vy NT (https://shop.mtrfoods.com/instant-regul ... -1629.html) This is primarily made of rice flakes.
Just add hot water, 3 minutes. That's all. Considered a very healthy breakfast in India , we love it!
Also - we have an Indian on-the-go snack which is 'salty-spicy'. Scroggin tends to get too sweet for me, I personally love Channa Jor Garam by Haldiram (main ingredient Gram) (http://www.haldiramsonline.com/chana-jor-garam.html)
Both these available in most Indian grocery stores in Australia

Some people are just way too obsessed about food. Last time at High Moor there were discarded eggshells there - and quite obviously not from hard-boiled eggs. With the greatest care in the world I couldn't pack eggs in on that track and have them unbroken at High Moor.
I wouldn't take eggs in to High Moor either. I only carry them on short walks (up to 3 or 4 days). They're a bit too heavy to carry much further than that.
Here's how I package them (note that you have to be prepared to sacrifice a tiny bit of weight and space)...
Using scissors, cut out the required number of segments from an egg carton, place the eggs in that, and then place that all into a hard plastic container. Fill any remaining space with other soft/squishy food items to make sure that the carton cannot rattle around inside the plastic container (eg, zip-locked bags of tea leaves, oats, whatever).
I've never broken an egg on a bushwalk using this method.
Of course it also helps to avoid dropping your pack or falling over.
I do enjoy good food on a bushwalk. It makes a great walk even better for me, so carrying the little extra weight is worth it for short walks.
Packing out empty egg shells is also trivally easy. Just plonk them straight back into the egg carton. When they are all used, squash the egg carton flat (with shells still inside it) by stepping on it. Fold and squash again, if necessary, and then put in your usual rubbish bag (eg, zip-lock bag). Then you can use the empty plastic container to store other food items, or whatever, in order to make best use of the space in your pack.
There's no excuse for the mess you saw at High Moor.

pop-tarts also known as toaster strudels, are so high in simple sugars, I wouldn't allow a student to bring them, I'd rather they eat slices of white-bread first, at least the crash will be slightly slower. Also if you look at the serving size and calorie load of the average "on the go breakfast" its no better than eating a banana, for those if us who need a big hit in the morning, they are pittiful. My "backup" breakfast is two packets of breakfast biscuits, a tin of pineapple chunks, and a coffee. That gives me enough to get myself sorted to eat about an hour later.
