As one might imagine, food on traverse is pretty basic. One of our standard dinner options is a heat-and-eat curry or stew, over rice or instant mashed potatoes. We have a microwave, but usually use a military style RAK heater to warm up these - with 6 people to feed, it’s more time-efficient to slowly warm up all the meals in parallel, than serially through the microwave.

The heaters are in the living module, and usually when we’re on the move one or two people will ride in the living module while they’re on break. A bit before dinner, they’ll use the radio to find out what others want heated up for dinner. Especially at the end of a long day, I must admit these meals are pretty tasty, especially jazzed up with a bit of hot sauce.
