For the first few days of your trip you can carry some fresh vegetables. Carrot, celery and capsicum will last the few days distance no problem. Also throw in a few sun dried tomatoes. Why not even have a salad wrap with some Camembert or Brie cheese? This is sounding better by the minute. By the way, Camembert and Brie are different. Camembert becomes gooey, softer and stronger flavour when mature and Brie is creamier and has a higher fat percentage. These types of cheese are best eaten "at room temperature". This is how the cheese makers want you to eat it as the flavours really develop more. My niece’s favourite food is Brie. When I take her out hiking I dare not leave home without the Brie. So why not throw a block in your pack for lunch, or dinner (for the first couple of days!). But be warned the cheese can get pretty soft so keep the cheese wrapped separately from the vegetables, until you are ready to eat. Also you can add either some salami or even a sachet of tuna too. So much choice in just one wrap!
At home preparationPut all ingredients into a bag, keeping the cheese and salami wrapped separately. Or peel the carrot then slice the carrot, celery, capsicum and sun dried tomatoes into strips and place into a snap-lock bag. Keep the salami separate.
Method in campCut the carrot, celery, capsicum, sun dried tomatoes, Brie and salami in thin slices. Add them to the middle of the bread in a long line, if using tuna open the pouch and add the tuna to the mix. For mountain bread and
tortillas, leave a gap at the top and bottom of the bread. From the base of the mix fold the bottom part of the bread up over the mix then fold one side over. From the side folded over, roll the rest of the bread up. Handy hint - The fold at the bottom means you do not lose the contents from the hole in the base of the wrap. For Pita pockets, make a hole in the top of the bread, place the mix inside and enjoy!
