Sure thing, it's definitely personal. For myself I take more joy out of a good long and hopefully not too slow ride than a hot meal on a comfortable seat after it.
I seriously considering to leave the cooking equipment at home the next time I go touring. There is so much tasty stuff for on bread out there, especially in the mediterranean countries, and loads of fresh fruits and veggies. And when I feel like a proper meal I can ''eat out'' and taste some of the local specialities.
Then it's also a matter of budget and how much you want to spend. My tent, sleeping bag and mat are very comfortable yet extremely light. However this comes at a price.
