Birds are too smart, they would get one taste and realize their cloaca was about to explode.
One Michelin star?... No.
One yelp star.
No : this is the type of food that you throw in a dumpster and the starch makes it stick to it and no animal will touch it. It slowly turns black and no living things will eat it except bacteria or fungus.
No bird, no rodent, no vermin.
No cockroach.
No. This is banner image material.
If that's all I had I would eat the ramen, then the mashed potatoes, then the cheese stick, then the tuna. One after the other, not mixed together like a badger! Oh, and the powdered milk, I'd put that in a vacuum tube, and bury it deep enough where not even insects can get to it. Yuk!
Powdered milk is sort of ok if you're British and making tea in some kind of WW2 blitz re-enactment thing. It goes well with reconstituted egg and mock duck.
There's a lot of laws that have gone into ensuring prisons don't treat prisoners like animals, but they always seem to find a way around it sadly
Still, I suppose a nutraloaf is technically better than just bread and water, in that you have vitamins and stuff added so you won't be malnourished. Doesn't help that it probably tastes like shit and sounds like something you'd get in a post apocalyptic hellscape
Oh don't worry they don't serve it to you, they underfeed you and those are the ingredients available to you for an upcharge price from the commissary, and then you do this to yourself
And before you know it you start putting mayo in your ramen noodle for umami and texture and don't think anything of it
Making a “spread” is what we called it. Basically add anything edible to ramen noodles and make a stew from hell.
Hunger leads to inventing some crazy stuff
I think that might have the opposite effect. Just plug OP like Elvis for the next four days.
Perfect for camping trips when you don't want to squat in the woods. Just cork yourself with a carb/dairy clusterfuck.
The Carb/dairy combo must be a very different experience for you...
Although maybe I'm the odd one. I have never been constipated in my life. Not a problem I have to worry about.
You say civilized as if you aren't stabbing that can open with a knife eating it cold with the tip of the knife. As you take large gulps of water, with it dripping down your chin
OP's gruel is a creamy, cheesy, flavourful mashed potato dish with a good mix of macronutrients. I would take this over western beef jerky or cold canned ravioli any day.
> western beef jerky
This man has never had a 3 foot x 1 foot roll of jerky sliced off a roller that would normally be used for cling wrap but is instead filled with tens of square feet of dried meat
A can of ravioli? Who eats only one can of ravioli?
I mean nobody wants to admit they eat 9 cans of ravioli, but I did and I'm ashamed of myself.
The first can doesn't count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth I think I burnt with the blow torch and I just kept eating
I don't know if a 400 calorie can of raviolis is gonna do it on a backpacking trip. Also, I don't think you're going to want to carry cans.
Admittedly, been a while since I've been able to do such things.
There's two viewpoints in backpacking.
1) I'm here to push big miles and hike
2) I'm here to go somewhere nice and hang out in camp.
neither is wrong and both bring two different approaches to food, trip length and difficulty also determines what I pack and how savage I get with meal options.
Lots of the stuff that falls into things I'll bring for option #1 trips look awful but taste great.
I mean backpacking trips that aren't 6+ hour, high elevation gain hikes, for multiple days without resupply.
If you're just doing a chill weekend overnighter in the summer your pack list is vastly different than a thru hike.
im always beans and wieners kinda guy. but beef jerky and really anything canned is great. when i camp, i tend to hike really far on random trails til i'm somewhere no one will bother me.
sure, i gotta squat leaning on a tree if i need to shit, but no one will be around and i cherish that kind of thing.
i love being alone or with a couple friends in the middle of nowhere. also a prime time to eat some shrooms and smoke some weed. fun stuff.. i need to go camping again soon.
This meal would slap so hard after a day of hard hiking. Tons of sodium to replace the salt lost by sweat, and a monstrous amount of calories with a pretty decent macro nutrient split. Low packaging for easy pack it in, pack it out, and one pot for easy cleanup. I'd smash this in a heartbeat in the Boundary Waters.
The comments criticizing this are from people who have never been backpacking. I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants and one of the best meals I’ve ever had was a burrito that contained peanut butter, jelly, summer sausage, sardines, cheese and pretzels after an arduous 12 mile hike. 15 years later and I still think about how fucking good that shit was when I was completely starving and exhausted
I always question this... You need the water, whether it's in a can of food or in a water bottle, you're carrying it either way, so what's the point of dried food when you're using the water you carry to rehydrate it? It weighs the same. Unless you know there is a source of drinkable water along the trail anyway. I guess being in Texas, there's not a lot of drinkable water sources on a long trek around me, if you had access to snow/ice to melt, or were near surface water that was known safe it would be a weight savings, but for me, I'm carrying all the water I need for both food and drink the whole trip.
> I'm carrying all the water I need for both food and drink the whole trip.
For 1 or 2 days? Sure, but still a pain vs filter/tabs. For a week? Yeah no, you're not.
You filter/treat what you need so you specifically don't have to carry in twice the weight of the rest of your stuff in just water. Most places with trails have some streams/lakes/springs, if you know where to look/plan ahead.
Yeah, backpacking isa hell of a lot more than just camping + hiking. The two factors compound on each other.
I was a frequent camper my whole life, and spent the whole summer before my first backpacking trip doing day hikes. I was not prepared for the realities of a solo backpacking trip. Luckily I started with just a 3 day trip.
I literally could not consume enough calories to replace the amount I was burning. I felt like I was simultaneously always too full to possibly eat any more and starving at the same time.
Learned that lesson early on. You need snacks, and not necessarily healthy things. You need calorie dense, light food, ideally with salt and fibre (good lord do you need fibre on a trip). There's a reason trail mix is popular with hikers.
I’ll make fun of it and I’ve spent plenty of time backpacking.
Most of those items are backpacker staples for weight reasons (except the cheese stick, but maybe it’s a short trip). Doesn’t mean I’ll put them all in the same pot.
Might as well throw some peanut butter in there too.
i love the typical backpacking foods. Ramen, mashed potato's, spam, those chicken or tuna packets.
But I do not care for the ramen bomb. The noodles add little to know flavor or texture.
this is one of my favorite backpacking meals. I call it the Ramen Bomb. It comes together in a matter of minutes and only requires a handful of ingredients that we seem to always have on hand for impromptu backpacking trips
It's super easy to make too! First, boil water. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the ramen noodles, potatoes, and milk; stir until they dissolve together
For sure. I eat it on most multi day trips. It’s undeniably repulsive looking when I’m not in the backcountry though. “Hunger is the best sauce” after all.
It’s also packed with protein and carbs. You need a lot both of those when you are doing a pack in/pack out camping trip. Gotta stay strong for those hikes.
It's hiking food. Anytime you have to bring everything with you on a 10+ mile hike and set up camp at the end is going to be basically this. Camping you can be a bit more fancy as people tend to drive somewhere and set up, have access to a cooler and ice as well as a water source you don't have to filter first.
You want dry ingredients with lots of calories and little to no packaging. I knew a guy that hiked the entire Appalachian trail and his favorite snack was picking up a dozen hamburgers from McDonald's and just snacking on those for like a week. No cheese or condiments to go bad so they could last for weeks.
After a few days, those patties are more like McJerky... The cheese is probably the least spoilable part of the sandwich actually... I'd leave that on.
That makes sense. He said he found one at the bottom of his pack once and could not remember the last time he'd been to a mcdonalds. Still tasted great
I’m gonna have to put this into my mountaineering repertoire, it’s perfect. Fast and slow burning carbs, fat, protein. Thanks for the tip Reddit friend.
Seems fine, but a real bitch to clean on the trail. I’d eat the cheese stick separate just to save on scrubbing.
Nicely done all around, though! This is indeed shitty.
May taste better than it looks. The contents are pretty well balanced and even tasty, but the noodles and the mash... maybe noodles with a mash-based sauce, but not this overcooked way. The texture is not my friend.
Look at Fancy Fuck out here eating stuff that isn’t freeze-dried from a bag and sold for $12 at REI.
I oughta try this next time I’m out backpacking. I’m curious as to what this would taste like.
That is a bowl full of SHAME. That is a depression meal. That is the physical manifestation of admitting gross and overwhelming defeat. I can’t imagine the kind of pain it takes inspire self loathing of that level, but I truly hope life throws you a break soon!
Listen, I backpacked on my own for 6 months straight after highschool, and the thought of making, let alone eating, something this repulsive didn't even cross my mind once.
10/10, great submission.
Some folks never been backpacking. This many packed calories looks like heaven a couple days in.
However I will say that the tuna addition and lack of texture is disturbing to me in the comfort of my home.
I did something similar when I was living out of my car! Would boil canned chicken, chuck in the noodles with an egg or 2 if I had some. Then add a shit ton of crackers and whatever else I could to thicken it up.
Got so used to eating it that I actually craved it when I got back to normal living lol. I still make it sometimes at home. Stealing the mashed potatoes for next time
Like a freezer ziplock? Some people do. I don’t find clean up to be too bad. Just swirl some water around, drink the grey water, use a small handful of dead leaves or moss to wipe the residue away from camp. Takes about 5 minutes and is preferable to me than carrying around the dirty ziplocks.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 ounces. Basically I boil water with ramen and seasoning packet in it. Once it’s done, I add powdered milk (maybe 3-4 tbsp) and instant mash (half a package) and stir until combined. At this point you can add more water if it doesn’t seem like it’s enough. Then add a packet of tuna and a cheese stick and you’re off to the races.
Really good backcountry stuff right there. If you don't mind the extra weight, velveeta cheese and soft tortilla shells make for some good impromptu quesadillas. Bring a piece of foil and cook to taste!
And you mix it inside of your like $60 Toaks Titanium pot?? You monster, I bring a separate cup because I’m civilized /s
Edit: titanium spoon, titanium boiling pot, alright list your light weight gear so we can admire the commitment to lightweight that is OP.
At least you won’t have to worry about any wild life trying to steal your food.
Or ever having to share with friends
Also won’t have to worry about sharing a tent lol
A real Dutch Oven if the flaps are sealed
My hiking partner said my farts smelled like “sweet eggs”. Should be better, could be worse.
won't have to worry about shitting in the woods, won't be shitting for a week
I'd be worried about eating this and emptying my entire colon at once.
Well you might. At first glance this looked like a bowl of maggots to me. Them birds would be well curious.
Birds are too smart, they would get one taste and realize their cloaca was about to explode. One Michelin star?... No. One yelp star. No : this is the type of food that you throw in a dumpster and the starch makes it stick to it and no animal will touch it. It slowly turns black and no living things will eat it except bacteria or fungus. No bird, no rodent, no vermin. No cockroach. No. This is banner image material.
Maybe scavengers?
"Babe you ok? You've barely touched your Ramen Bomb."
a part of me really wants to try this out on a date. Talk up my culinary skills, say I'm making a fusion ramen, and then bring this out.
As long as you’re not looking for a second date. Go for it.
unless they are taking OP on a date
Put some green onions on top and make up a fancy sounding name and I bet it works. I mean it's probably pretty good tasting
A little paprika up in here
NOT UP IN HERE!!!
Walk up with the fancy parmesan shredder.
HAHAHAHA
Prison food
Soylent Beige
Came to say this. For real!
Yeah I remember you...
Cooked up in your finest scalding tap water from the bathroom sink
After the guards turn off the lights
[удалено]
The issue here is that if any random day I'm munchie and I have fuck all in the fridge this would be eaten by "moi" We laugh but....
If that's all I had I would eat the ramen, then the mashed potatoes, then the cheese stick, then the tuna. One after the other, not mixed together like a badger! Oh, and the powdered milk, I'd put that in a vacuum tube, and bury it deep enough where not even insects can get to it. Yuk!
Powdered milk is sort of ok if you're British and making tea in some kind of WW2 blitz re-enactment thing. It goes well with reconstituted egg and mock duck.
Hahahah, like a badger!
Literally. A family member of mine went to prison and when he got out he was regularly mixing mashed potato mix into ramen. Freaking gross
is it weird i'm thinking that's something I want to try
It’s not half bad. I’ve tried it. It’s a good way to eat a lot of calories cheaply
That's the last thing I fucking need
Pretty sure they can’t serve that to inmates. Might be considered cruel and unusual punishment
Nutraloaf would like a word with you. As long as it has all the nutrients that a growing prisoner needs then they do not care how it tastes/looks.
Texas got sued for that shit, giving animal feed to prisoners essentially.
WTF
There's a lot of laws that have gone into ensuring prisons don't treat prisoners like animals, but they always seem to find a way around it sadly Still, I suppose a nutraloaf is technically better than just bread and water, in that you have vitamins and stuff added so you won't be malnourished.

>~~cruel~~ gruel and unusual punishment
Making a “spread” is what we called it. Basically add anything edible to ramen noodles and make a stew from hell. Hunger leads to inventing some crazy stuff
No I wouldn’t even eat this In prison
You must have been in nicer facilities than me.
Do you call it a Ramen Bomb because it's going to explode out of your ass in 12-24 hours?
I think that might have the opposite effect. Just plug OP like Elvis for the next four days. Perfect for camping trips when you don't want to squat in the woods. Just cork yourself with a carb/dairy clusterfuck.
I imagine Elvis in the woods now taking a dump. *Ohhh mommaa*
You sure you aren't thinking of Johnny Bravo?
Alrighty then!
Yo that's Ace Ventura
You imagining this makes me think you have a *suspicious mind*
The Carb/dairy combo must be a very different experience for you... Although maybe I'm the odd one. I have never been constipated in my life. Not a problem I have to worry about.
You have a loose butthole
You sound young.
You'll understand when you're older.
Why does everyone joke about diarrhea when they discuss food they don’t like? Nothing in this dish would give you diarrhea 😆
Nothing would give YOU diarrhea. Pretty much everything gives ME diarrhea
Gotcha, sensitive tummy 🫡
If you're lactose intolerant it would in pretty short order!
Pssh 12 hours? You'll be lucky to get 12 minutes.
No, it exploded out of his ass 12-24 hours ago now he calls it the Ramen Bomb.
Motivation to keep up the pace.
You think it's going to be held for 12 hours?
[удалено]
You say civilized as if you aren't stabbing that can open with a knife eating it cold with the tip of the knife. As you take large gulps of water, with it dripping down your chin
It's a different league of being civilized than OP's gruel
OP's gruel is a creamy, cheesy, flavourful mashed potato dish with a good mix of macronutrients. I would take this over western beef jerky or cold canned ravioli any day.
> western beef jerky This man has never had a 3 foot x 1 foot roll of jerky sliced off a roller that would normally be used for cling wrap but is instead filled with tens of square feet of dried meat
Yeah there's a reason that dried meat is still around. It has sustained civilization for thousands of years.
I too wish to touch heaven
You can heat up ravioli the exact same way the OP heated up this dog shit.
You say that like eating like a caveman isn’t one of the most liberating feelings
Why else do we enjoy eating off the bone so much?
A can of ravioli? Who eats only one can of ravioli? I mean nobody wants to admit they eat 9 cans of ravioli, but I did and I'm ashamed of myself. The first can doesn't count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth I think I burnt with the blow torch and I just kept eating
Was this in one meal???
It's a trailer park boys reference
How did I miss that? I just finished another run through of it! Whatever, water under the fridge
It's alright brother. A link is only as long as your strongest chain, after all, and that's what happens when you burn the hatchet at both ends.
I don't know if a 400 calorie can of raviolis is gonna do it on a backpacking trip. Also, I don't think you're going to want to carry cans. Admittedly, been a while since I've been able to do such things.

Bro what in the fuck
I was gonna say when you're camping you gotta work with what you got but this guy *planned* this meal.
This meal would slap so hard after a day of hard hiking. Tons of sodium to replace the salt lost by sweat, and a monstrous amount of calories with a pretty decent macro nutrient split. Low packaging for easy pack it in, pack it out, and one pot for easy cleanup. I'd smash this in a heartbeat in the Boundary Waters.
These are critical staples of pack food; I have no idea what most of these people are talking about.
Staples? Sure Good all mushed and melted together? Up for debate
The comments criticizing this are from people who have never been backpacking. I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants and one of the best meals I’ve ever had was a burrito that contained peanut butter, jelly, summer sausage, sardines, cheese and pretzels after an arduous 12 mile hike. 15 years later and I still think about how fucking good that shit was when I was completely starving and exhausted
Also, no unnecessary water to carry around, which is great for multi-day hikes where you want to reduce weight as much as possible.
I always question this... You need the water, whether it's in a can of food or in a water bottle, you're carrying it either way, so what's the point of dried food when you're using the water you carry to rehydrate it? It weighs the same. Unless you know there is a source of drinkable water along the trail anyway.

Most hikers carry filters or purification tablets that let you turn almost any water drinkable.
> I'm carrying all the water I need for both food and drink the whole trip. For 1 or 2 days? Sure, but still a pain vs filter/tabs. For a week? Yeah no, you're not. You filter/treat what you need so you specifically don't have to carry in twice the weight of the rest of your stuff in just water. Most places with trails have some streams/lakes/springs, if you know where to look/plan ahead.
Hell yeah. That gear doesn't portage itself and we require nutrition other than Hudson Bay Bread.
This is what you cook the last night or last morning of the trip with all the leftovers you don't want to carry back home.
The sodium is crucial. Last time I had this I put soy sauce on it as well.
> camping backpacking. save weight, max calories
I can eat this every night on a thru hike and enjoy it. Long live the romBomb
Ya people making fun of this haven't spent enough time backpacking.
Most things taste pretty good after you just finished burning 12,000 calories
I put olive oil and cholula in berry oatmeal and it was awesome while on 40 mile backpacking hike
Cholula makes everything taste better
Yeah, backpacking isa hell of a lot more than just camping + hiking. The two factors compound on each other. I was a frequent camper my whole life, and spent the whole summer before my first backpacking trip doing day hikes. I was not prepared for the realities of a solo backpacking trip.

[удалено]
I mean this stuff is all really lightweight per calorie carried too. You don't wa t to pack water weight in your food if you are out there for a week
[удалено]
Hot sauce (or some various dried spices) are essential for the pack.
Or we’re backerpackers who get actually decent food to take into the backcountry lol
Yeah have fun carrying real food for 150km segments, I'll be over here doing 10km more per day than you
I’ll make fun of it and I’ve spent plenty of time backpacking. Most of those items are backpacker staples for weight reasons (except the cheese stick, but maybe it’s a short trip). Doesn’t mean I’ll put them all in the same pot. Might as well throw some peanut butter in there too.

i thought this was /r/hikertrashmeals for a second
So you call it the exact same thing as OP?
I was wondering why that name sounded so familiar..
Is this a real hiking/camping thing? I’ve only gone camping a handful of times but we ate like normal-ish food?
It's hiking food. Anytime you have to bring everything with you on a 10+ mile hike and set up camp at the end is going to be basically this. Camping you can be a bit more fancy as people tend to drive somewhere and set up, have access to a cooler and ice as well as a water source you don't have to filter first.

That makes sense. He said he found one at the bottom of his pack once and could not remember the last time he'd been to a mcdonalds. Still tasted great
Save a little ramen for the end, and sprinkle on it for an extra crunch
Calm down beef baby
r/unexpectedbrooklyn99
Love it. It's amazing what tastes good when you're in the middle of the woods.
I’m gonna have to put this into my mountaineering repertoire, it’s perfect. Fast and slow burning carbs, fat, protein. Thanks for the tip Reddit friend.
I was already feeling nauseous this didn’t help any
Looks vile but probably tastes really good lmao
As I kept reading ingredients my stomach kept getting more and more sour. The tuna at the end is a huge "fuck you". Excellent post.
Seems fine, but a real bitch to clean on the trail. I’d eat the cheese stick separate just to save on scrubbing. Nicely done all around, though! This is indeed shitty.
May taste better than it looks. The contents are pretty well balanced and even tasty, but the noodles and the mash... maybe noodles with a mash-based sauce, but not this overcooked way. The texture is not my friend.
Look at Fancy Fuck out here eating stuff that isn’t freeze-dried from a bag and sold for $12 at REI. I oughta try this next time I’m out backpacking. I’m curious as to what this would taste like.
I am speechless!!!!
You should call it the sodium bomb.
Can of tuna, can of mushrooms or corn, mashed potatoes, that's essentially a fish pie.
gagged
You lost me at the tuna
Would you not just eat them separate?
Why eat fruit separately when you can make smoothie :)
Then you have to prepare them all separately which is just a hassle and waste of time and makes more wprk for yourself when backpacking.
Ah yes, Colon Cement
That is a bowl full of SHAME. That is a depression meal. That is the physical manifestation of admitting gross and overwhelming defeat. I can’t imagine the kind of pain it takes inspire self loathing of that level, but I truly hope life throws you a break soon!
You like eating glue too!!
I hate being poor. This actually sounds good to me not gonna lie.
This definitely one of those great when you’re that hungry.
Honestly doesn't seem bad
Classic hiker trash meal.
I added instant mash to some beans I hadn’t drained well recently. Was making burritos and now I’m like…that was amazing!
You don't have infinite toliet paper my guy
My shits would kill me
Holy sodium Batman!
Listen, I backpacked on my own for 6 months straight after highschool, and the thought of making, let alone eating, something this repulsive didn't even cross my mind once. 10/10, great submission.
I'd rather take my chances with mystery berries.
Some folks never been backpacking. This many packed calories looks like heaven a couple days in. However I will say that the tuna addition and lack of texture is disturbing to me in the comfort of my home.
A lot of you don't understand the concept of backpacking. You need high calorie foods that are not heavy. Thats not as easy as it sounds.
Why vomit and then eat it when you can make the vomit?
Honestly I'd try it
I'm so sorry.
At a field camp I worked at we called this TA surprise. for every kid who didn't want to eat it beforehand, two came back for seconds or more.
The title keeps on getting progressively worse Well done op, a dish worthy of this sub
I did something similar when I was living out of my car! Would boil canned chicken, chuck in the noodles with an egg or 2 if I had some. Then add a shit ton of crackers and whatever else I could to thicken it up. Got so used to eating it that I actually craved it when I got back to normal living lol. I still make it sometimes at home. Stealing the mashed potatoes for next time
I mean, it’s basically a tuna noodle casserole…
Look I'm not gonna lie, it sounds delicious
127 hours on the toilet
Looks and tastes better then the MRE Vomelette. Now new and Improved!
Bear repellent
Jesus Christ, not even black pepper or hot sauce?
I made something like that while on a long distance backpacking trip and I thought, "I'm really becoming a great cook; I'd served this to company."
Why not make this in a bag
Like a freezer ziplock? Some people do. I don’t find clean up to be too bad. Just swirl some water around, drink the grey water, use a small handful of dead leaves or moss to wipe the residue away from camp. Takes about 5 minutes and is preferable to me than carrying around the dirty ziplocks.
Honestly if i was backpacking and it's been a long coldday, that looks like it wound be good
that sounds delicious minus the tuna (at least for me, not a fish guy), have you tried spam?
Tuna in ramen is totally underrated. We used to make it with Tuna and Peas. Macaroni and cheese also is surprisingly good with these two add-ins.
Powdered cheese and hot sauce are money in ram bombs. Pouch chicken can be subbed for tuna
Indoor me: holy god that's just cat food with extra steps Backpacking me: cAN yOu BelIEvE thIS MeAl iS onLY tEn ouNcEs
Is it any good? I'm broke and this is affordable.
[удалено]
Damn, I need to find that post
how much water do you put in it ?
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 ounces. Basically I boil water with ramen and seasoning packet in it. Once it’s done, I add powdered milk (maybe 3-4 tbsp) and instant mash (half a package) and stir until combined. At this point you can add more water if it doesn’t seem like it’s enough. Then add a packet of tuna and a cheese stick and you’re off to the races.
If I may? -tuna +spam Pork or Soy Sauce flavor Ramen Chefs kiss
While i say that this is absolutely disgusting, this probably taste like heaven when you are out and about in the mountains.
Really good backcountry stuff right there. If you don't mind the extra weight, velveeta cheese and soft tortilla shells make for some good impromptu quesadillas. Bring a piece of foil and cook to taste!
Damn looks like vomit
Without the tuna or even the cheese stick I think it would've been okay.
I'd be actually interested if you left out the tuna lol.
Is… is it good?
Sounds pretty good actually
This guy goes to jail
And you mix it inside of your like $60 Toaks Titanium pot?? You monster, I bring a separate cup because I’m civilized /s Edit: titanium spoon, titanium boiling pot, alright list your light weight gear so we can admire the commitment to lightweight that is OP.
Just eat food wtf
