Just thought I'd start a debate of interest (as opposed to dietry requirements)
Has anyone tried a product known as "No Egg" by Orgran Natural Foods
http://www.orgran.com/product-information/packet-mixes.htmlI stumbled across it the other day while browsing my local health-food shop
I'm tempted at some stage to give it a try for the likes of pancakes etc on the track
(knowing full well it is probably a long way shy of real eggs, but without the transport issue)

Hey that looks like a great idea! I'd like to try it out next overnighter i find the time to do..
I recently did a really big walk (23days) and I was really missing things like eggs, bread, butter and all those things that we reach for at home when we can't be bothered making a proper meal!! I had dehydrated all my own meals on the trip
but when it came to my favourite omlettes, I was a bit wary of sticking one in the food dehydrater, but this stuff you've found looks the go.
Let us know how you go with it yea? Ta

No egg eh!! can it be worse than the powdered egg I tried 15 years ago or that which I grew up with in the nineteen forties

please try and advise but I suspect it may be like no meat TVP mince

powdered egg?
according to wikipedia, apparently they're lighter, have 5 years shelf life, lower calaries, higher nutritional value, dont have to be rehydrated if baking... et etc...

Powdered eggs IMHO are still as poo... today as they were in the late 1940/early 1950 fifties,last tried some 17 or do years ago ,so what must NON EGG dried egg taste like ?
Love to read the results from your meals and I am as always willing to try Tucker that is new lightweight and innovative

Been on this stuff for a while now, works well as a binder in cooking and baking, but sunny side up or scrambled is a no-go. 312 calories per 100g is good for my needs, of which 99% are starchy carbs. 1 heaped teaspoon of this stuff is equal to 1 whole egg. great for trail custard or ricecream desert!
