And for what it's worth, one of the finest hiking meals I've had in a long time was put together by a friend in a campground in tasmania which consisted of "extras" thrown in a pot. it was the extra couscous, I contributed the last of my sausage, and a chunk of parmigiano, and people hucked in dehydrated onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, spices, and some anchovies. It was awesome. So a little bit of Parmigiano and Sausage goes a long way.
