I just finished making up another batch of boat food. I've been
making it for three years now. After a couple of gastronmic
failures I came up with something which is close to uncooked fruit
cake (Christmas cake) without the candied fruit.

Ugh. Not that its unreasonable to want to simplify your diet while on trips,
but WHY so extreme, in god's name?? I find the abundance of interesting and
tasty things I can cook up to be one of the highlights of the trip. I
suppose I could imagine carrying 4 months of breakfasts and dinners in a
single pickle pail, no dishes, no stove...the ultimate in minimalism, but
what would I do with all the rest of my day? I think even the old trappers
and explorers got sick of pemmican after a very short while, and I bet its a
lot tastier than fruitcake without fruit....
