Yeah they're all fine without being heated up. Problem is they don't taste as good!

Yeah, there's the obvious tinned fruit which doesn't need heating up to taste good.
I know friends who eat Baked-Beans, sans heating, not to my taste really.

Yep, lots of people do this when camping if they don't have access to a heat source :smile: One thing I would say though, is that if you're not staying in the same place (i.e. you'll probably be walking a bit), then tins are probably not the best idea as they can be a little heavy; packets of dried food etc. might be better, or at least a mix of the two.

Thing I eat from the can without being heated up:

Beans
Spaghetti
Rice Pudding
Vegetable curry
Cheese Ravioli (niiiice)
Fruit
Custard

I've heard you can also get a 'breakfast in a tin' deal :smile:

Yes generally, almost all food in a can is precooked or processed so it is edible raw.

Hot dog sausages skewered on a stick over a roaring fire are loverly. Stick in some beans and you're sorted.
