The freeze-dried list
When we did our first long-distance hike in 2021 - Gröna Bandet, we consumed a lot of freeze-dried food. But not all freeze-dried meals are made equal, and our memories aren't that great, so we needed a way to remember which freeze-dried meals were something we wanted to eat again, and what we really didn't want to buy. So we made a list that of course has just become longer since then.
Not all meals we have eaten are on this list, since it took a while before we started to note down which we liked and not.
Also, everyoneβs taste is different. What you may like is probably not the same as we do. But since some people have asked us what the list looks like, we thought - why not just share it here?
