Does anyone else look at all their stoves to see which one you will take on a trip?

Can’t see the grape scissors but yes - pretty comprehensive. I presume that you’re not a backpacker. What blowlamp do you prefer for the créme brûlée?

 

For just a o/n bp trip, I may bring a boxed pasta dinner, spaghetti some times, now and the an extra freeze dried dinner depending on how easy of a dinner I want. Pot is sized to dinner and/or breakfast. Been lazy for a few years now, so breakfast is coffee, cereal bar, hot cereal. I've done pancakes before.
For a week long bp trip, just freeze dried dinners. Breakfast is assorted cereal/energy bars. Lunch is pepperoni/salami/jerky, cheese, crackers with peanut butter, trail mix. Been so many places, not much enthusiasm to do much anymore, almost 70. Disappointing.
I had to cancel bp plans last summer due to my feet hurting, made plans that required reservations, trip planning. Bummed.

It depends. On most trips with some kind of geographic goal, I tend to eat whatever weighs least. This varies, as it’s no use taking dehydrated meals on desert trips, but either way it means meals are pretty spartan.

On the other hand, some trips are more laid back by design, and meals are a bit fancier. Pasta primavera and stir fries and such.

I've done the lot, from bicycle touring using only appropriate 1950s kit and buying and cooking foodstuffs typical of the era on an appropriate stove...

To another extreme of getting on a train to the other end of the country and walking home, with only a tarp, sleeping bag and scrap of waterproof tablecloth to lie on along with a few 30-year old ordnance survey maps. Cold food from village shops whenever it can be found....

 

I did a stare at the shelves this week because I’m riding a different bike on the Lake Pepin 3 Speed Tour this year. www.3speedtour

I normally ride a 1968 Raleigh Superbe with a Terry clipped Optimus 00. This year it’s a 70’s Sports with front and rear panniers and a beat to hell looking 8r.

 

@bikamper Good for you! Looking forward to the photos!
