What kinds of food do you take to festivals or burn? Are they easy to eat & require little to no prep? Bonus points if it doesn't require refrigeration and easy to transport.
Most of the items I recommend below are eat out of the pack, a few require adding boiling water (I bring an electric teakettle for that and its boiling in under 2 minutes). Only things not shown are my muscle milk shakes (which are my breakfast) and pedialyte packs. Also my Iranian friend got me using rock candy as the sugar in my tea, so it doesn't get weird in heat. I also avoid glass jars when possible for easier/lighter transport. Try to avoid things that will melt or break.
Left to right...(lots of protein mostly)... dried Wasabi peas. Banana chips for potassium to fight leg cramps. Camping meals (just add water, this brand is tasty & has added vitamins for hikers), mexican chicken & rice, spaghetti & meat, pad Thai chicken, sf beef jerky, nuts, envelope pickles, salmon, dried figs, crackers, tasty bites rice veg and chickpea curry, date/walnut bites, packet chicken, flavored Tuna, olives, canned hummus, can dolmas, Nutella pretzel pack, emergen-c, Gatorade electrolytes or sugar free pedialyte
