^ army rations is an interesting idea. You can get 24-hour ration packs for about £8 per day, I imagine they have a hell of a lot of calories in them too.
Might be a bit heavy carrying 14 MREs in your panniers though.
EDIT - Yeah, they weigh about 2kg each... you could probably reduce the weight by removing the chemical heaters from each packet, but you're still carrying a lot of weight and they're still an expensive way of eating - perhaps keep one 'just in case', or just get the separate main meals rather than the 24-hour ones.
