Bikepacking snackage

Ha, I made up a big batch of flapjack... I'll trade!

I have landed in the UK from Norway, with 1.5kg of edible Norwegian produce and some aquavit to share

I'll have one of the Kvikk Lunsj fingers and a few glasses of the akvavit. You can keep the 1.453kg of boiled cod though

All the nice Lutefisk will not go to waste.... i am sure of it!

I just remembered. BabyBell cheeses. each one is about 250 calories. And Delicious.

Marmite cashews, you either love em or hate em

[benp1]

Actually, these last two replies are interesting.

Cheese and nuts, lots of calories but typically held in the form of fat

This is what I often take when walking but for cycling I wasn't sure that the fat content (rather than carbs/sugar) would work for topping up the system. Converting fat into energy takes more effort than carbs/sugar

I had originally packed loads of nut and nut related snacks as I love them but have now tweaked my food supplies to be more carb and less fat

[Chicken Legs]

Marmite Cashews have 27g of carb in a 90g bag

[benp1]

Really?!

Thats good. I bought some mixed nuts from Waitrose thinking it would be a satisfying snack, only 12g of carbs in a 200g bag

Must be the flavouring that adds the carbs?

Mind you, the hob nob nutty nibbles look much better on the carbs front!

@norwaycalling, that was the plan but the car has developed an electrical fault and no one knows the problem, so 'fraid not. First thing I do when I get into Torp is get a polse and coffee.
Actually, my camp mug is a hydrotex cafe avtala mug from around 2002!! Apologies for spelling, been back about 10 years now

Well, I've always been a fan of Snickers for any kind of trip - and after three days I've counted the left overs and can reveal that I ate no less than 15 Snickers bars on the WRT, plus one Cadbury's Boost.. 3 dehydrated meals (one for lunch), and one fry up in the Castle Hotel..
