I'm just trying to envision "stopping and having a sit down meal" in the way out yonder, middle of nowhere. Every freeze dried I've had required boiling water, don't know about just warming it with a heat pack. No experience with MRE's. Backpacking, I usually carried hard cheese, summer sausage, almonds, tortillas for lunch & just snacked on that during the day. I'm kind of new to bike touring but so far I've found while on the bike, if restaurants are available, I sometimes stop but mostly find it inconvenient & would rather keep riding. Just depends on the mood and available food. I seem do do okay snacking on dates, almonds, apples, oranges and a few cookies between breakfast and dinner.
