For convenience I like these. Posh baked beans particularly.

Army ration packs look grim. Do you like to cook (ie have some experience, interest and skills) or do you want the easiest/simplest solution? Are you riding somewhere you'll be able to get some bits (i.e. if you're going past a shop that sells pasta and veg then weight isn't that important if you're only carrying it for 20 minutes) or do you need to be self-sufficient?

Idahoan Instant Mash, Lidl/Aldi cooked lentils in pouches, angel delight, curry / Dahl pouches, dates, tinned veg (already cooked, so dinner is ready sooner)+ tinned tomatoes and some herbs, rice noodles (ready a lot quicker than pasta). Microwave-able rice takes 2minutes on stove.
Chocolate custard powder and dried fruit.If you buy readymade hiking meals, I'd stick to the puddings, or totally avoid anything that has mash as a component.
Sainsbury's do powered milk, if you want it for breakfast
Any advice on food to take? I'm trying to think back to my DoE days (26+ years ago) and struggling.
I've seen British army rations are available quite cheaply - are these as rank as I'd imagine them to be?
I'll be taking a kid camping on the tandem, so we're looking for light, filling, delicious and cheap. And she's a veggie, to add to the mix.
