Why?

They do have shops down there you know. You're not taking anything special either. Seems utterly pointless to me.

Depending where you're staying. Many camp sites do a coolpack exchange. Get a soft cool bag, then you can keep things like bacon reasonably cool.

I normally take things like boil in the bag rice, those 2 minute indian/chinese things as well. Maybe the odd boil in a bag dinner if I'm feeling really lazy.

Cornwall doesn't appear to be the middle of nowhere, they will have suppermarkets, local shops and petrol stations that do food or supplies. Some camp shops even stock a very basic array of edible delights (okay, so it may only be 1p sweets and milk). In the summer time a chip van and ice cream van would drive round the site too!

Oh, and when I was in my ATC days I would take bacon / sausages, eggs and the likes in the rucksack for breakfast when out and about.

I sometimes carry my rally food pack, this is a cliklock food box around 6"x4"x2", this contains a small amount (usually 1 portion each (in bags) of rice, pasta, instant mash potatoes, a few various oxos, a little instant gravy mix, salt, black pepper, and few dried chilli`s & herbs and a minature voddie bottle containing veg oil.
add a few cheap steaks from a local supermarket/butcher en-route, allows me to knock up a basic meal if I find myself somewhere without facilities, using only a small stove, and a couple of mess tins & water

I find frozen stuff is handy as it has thawed by the time you get to your destination.

Prawns are only best on a two day trip in the sun though. Smile

Microwaveable pouches = boil in the bag in my book.

Put the pouch in your kettle/mess tin, cover in water and set to boil. Bring it to the boil and simmer for a couple of minutes then eat it out of the pouch for no washing up. Use the water for tea.

Or how about a touch of class. Tuna steak in herb marinade on a bed of cous-cous with moroccan vegetables? Piece of piss.
Put one of these in your pot:

Add water, bring to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes.

Pour the water onto the contents of this:

Wait 2 minutes. Empty the contents of the pouch on top. Enjoy.

Why eat crap, junk, packet food? I cook fresh pork chops, boiled potatoes, bacon, sausage, fried bread, fried or poached eggs, tomatoes. I only use a small single burner, but still manage to eat perfectly good food that you usually cook at home on a full sized cooker.

It's got to be a proper big Cornish pasty. And scones, jam and cream for breakfast...
