[at-l] Cooking for Thru-Hikers

We met Crash Test Dummy on Sept 4, 2003 at Horns Pond Leanto just north of
Stratton, ME. Nice to hear that he is close to completing the ECT!

My house is roughly a mile off the Florida Trail, and I've overnighted and
fed a lot of the long-distance hikers on the FT.  I'm expecting Scott "Crash
Test Dummy" Nothen (doing the ECT southbound) early next week.  Just for
discussion, what dinner would you serve to a long-distance hiker?

This is my favorite vegetarian menu:
homemade hummus and chips
Thai squash soup (usually a very big hit)
Noodles with pea pods & red pepper strips in a peanut sauce
Stir fried mix of broccoli & bok choy
Mixed fruit salad
Chocolate truffle cake with sweetened whip cream

Don't really have a favorite non-vegetarian menu, but I'm planning this for
Scott, who said he'd eat anything as long as there's plenty of it:

cranberry salsa and chips
barbeque meatloaf
mashed potatoes with gravy off the meatloaf
steamed broccoli
spinach salad with grapes, apple, walnuts, dried cherries &  feta and a
vinegarette dressing
rolls and butter
Homemade Christmas cookies and eggnog ice cream

What would you fix?
