On our recent TGO Challenge trip, Lynn and I ate our fair share of dehydrated meals.   We picked up most of our dehydrated food in the US (Backpackers Pantry, Mountain House, etc) and took it over with us.    During our trip, I was lucky enough to try two meals that we hadn’t had before, supplied by fellow Challengers Richard and Fiona.  The Mountain House Apple and Custard was wonderful at the end of a long wet day.   But the winner by a long stretch was the Chicken Tikka from Expedition Foods  UK.  This was enjoyed in the Scottish equivalent of the Brigadoon Bothy (Sheilin of Mark).   I was in absolute heaven!  Talk about tasty – nice and spicy too!  I felt as if I’d just run around to the local Indian takeaway.

This got me thinking – why not take some of my own home Thai cooking with me on the trail?  I already have a great dehydrator plus there are lots of great resources out there on how to dehydrate for backpacking.   Andy Howell has a great set of postings on his blog to get me started.

I’ll report back with my findings…
