I'm planning vaguely to be on a 2-4 day walk somewhere in Kosciouszko NP, including on Christamas day ... so I'm keen to gather ideas for a Christmas themed lunch or evening meal. Last time I had Christmas away on a multiday walk,lunch on Christmas day was the last meal on the track before wegot back to civilization. We had a Christmas lunch of cryovac. turkey slices (kept for 4 days ok deep in my pack, because it was VERY cold that Chrissy in Tas.), snowpeas and dried cranberries (for the red & green),all on some kind of ryebread with a processed cream cheese spread. And red & white candy canes & mintleaves (lollies) for dessert.
This time I expect we'll be out for tea as well. Dessert is planned: one of those Aunty Betty style self saucing puddings designed for the microwave but they heat through really well if you steam them in an oven bag in your cookpot.(maybe with some dehydrated cherries in rum or brandy) But please,I'd love some other menu suggestions. I have a home dehydrator and Vacuum sealing machine and don't mind going to a bit of effort to make the occasion memorable.
