It depends how long you're traveling for. If you plan to be on the road for at least few months, I wouldn't recommend your diet to anyone, but each to their own. ;)

yeah true, i was joking somewhat, but on my 6 month europe trip i never really cooked, mostly because i was just rough camping and such.
so cold food was the way forward.
bread meat and cheese was a common breakfast that would do for a few days. another good one was to buy a 500g tub of natural yogurt and some cereal. pour some of the cereal into the yogurt and jobs a good un, usually keeps at least 2 mornings.
and lots of fruit.
the tragedy of it is i had a trangia stove with me, i just never had the location or patients to use it. or clean it.

Since I am now living in Brazil let me apply the Feijoada recipe adapted to one pot.

200g of black beans (dried - any otehr bean can do)
1 onion
garlic (to taste)
3 bay leaves
dried/salted meat/smoked bacon
sausages/meat/chicken
1 orange
seasoning
dried herbs is nice

Rinse the black beans and remove any stone you may find.

Let the dried black beans in water overnight in your cooking pot. Make sure it is covered of water as the beans will absorb the water. 12 h later KEEP the black water in which the beans have been left overnight. It is not dirty, just the beans releasing colour.
12 h before if you have any salted meat, leave it in water also for 12 h in a plastic container or sandwitch bag, but discard the water in the end.

Bring the beans in its water to the boil. Add the salted meat, bacon, sausages and/or any other meat you may have, + onions and garlic. Add 2 or 3 bay leaves, dried herbs if you have them and the orange cut in 2.
Let it boil until the meat and beans are cooked.
The 2 half oranges should turn black as it absorbs the fat from the meat. Discard them when the flesh of these oranges turns blackish.

Ideally the garlic and onion should be added after being fried, but in one pot just put it raw.


You can make it vegetarian by not using meat and replacing with local vegetables.
Enjoy!

My wife(chinese), cooks egg noodles (dried,packaged )with veggies -picked up during stops and stir fries them in a small pot,can be done with just water or a Pho paste for a soup n veggies, for us meat lovers it is canned chicken or whatever left over from the noon meal. of course the spices and sauces are required to be taken n replenished as is available locally and this is fine as we like a variation on our noodles and chicken.
