I have booked a three day trip for Mrs Kilo's birthday to a slightly remote and largely uninhabited island and we need to take all our food with us. So far the packing list comprises of booze and milk.
We will be staying in a house, which will have running water and a rudimentary stove but no electricity. Any recommendations for ready pack / camping meals - veggie as well, etc.

Books ok, a bit Instagram, depends what you normally make really
Apart from food I'd take something (else) to read
(Edit) There's this too if you can have a fire and want something fancy/involved:

...I'd take something (else) to read
Yes I plan to take the kindle with me.
Water purifying stuff, and a bunch of pasta, spices and stuff. And coffee, or at least ground coffee and some sort of mocha thing you can put on a gas stove or in a fire.
And rum. Rum is perfect for island life.
Walkiing, driving , boat?
Yes what do you normally eat? You could take frozen meals with you or maybe you want to cook to fill the time? Will you have a fire/bbq? Is the stove an oven or just gas rings?
Hot lunch - soup, hot dogs, burgers, boiled eggs
If you have an oven, simple warm salad like precooked beetroot & green beans heated through, feta, crusty bread.
With a bbq - better quality packet 'smash', sweetcorn, aubergine, veg skewers (onion, peppers, mushrooms, tomato)
Ready cooked rice or grains and one pot something - curry, moroccan style tagine. If the hob is crap you can just sit and wait for it to boil.
Spare food in case the weather keeps you on the island longer than expected.
How are you getting there? Do you need to carry your food and stuff?
