Good food, no fridge.

[ianwright]

Can anyone point me towards suppliers for preserved/dried/smoked food that will keep for two months or so without refridgeration in warm (I hope!) summer temps.
Not the ruffty-tufty packets of freeze dried racing fuel. Weight is not an issue, taste is. Stuff like bacon, dried sausage, beef jerky and so forth. Even good tinned food will help, as long as it is good,,,,,,,,,
I'll be taking some fresh food, meat and veg should last a week, spuds and onions keep fine if chosen well I know, but real keeping bacon is hard to find.
Tasty stuff is about for sure, but curers and smokers go for the 'added value foodie' market not really the old boat/hungry Yottie niche.,,,,,,, oh yes, anyone know if tinned butter is still around?

canadian smoked salmon. no idea how they manage it, but, doesn't require a fridge, keeps for a very long time and the package is not disimilar to normal smoked supermarket salmon. it's very good.

sadly, ian, i can not recall who imports it or its name. it was sent over by a canadian pal and scoffed ...

Best lists I have seen are http://beprepared.com/quickshoplist.asp_Q_c_E_64

but you would need to import yourself, which means first you need to check the regulations on the import of foodstuffs.

You can buy it in most hot countries (About the only good thing that Crap Merde has to offer is an abundant supply of tinned butter)

Funny thing, no-one has mentioned Fray Bentos? Or did that word "good" put people off?

One idea for fresh meet. Thiny steaks put in oil and after that roll it and put in plastic airtight dish.Add enough oil to cover meet before closing the box. This meet can be used for 3 weeks without fridge.
Have been tried!
When you buy vegetables for longer passages do not take vegetables from shop fridge shelf. Buy it on the market directly. It durate twice.
