if you're hiking in, always take 1 MRE for each member of the party. That way everyone has matches, tabasco, etc for the rest of the meals. And contrary to popular belief, not all MRE's are as terrible as they're made out to be.
Some of the dried backpacker food is actually pretty good, but it's pricey.
Rice and beans are lightweight and easy to store. Bacon is thin and relatively light. This is good for the first morning of the trip. Put pancake mix in baggies and you've got a great breakfast. Don't forget the coffee!
