Lots of much easier options
What I am saying is that even for this girl who will enjoy all sorts of real meals off the carta and not the menu del dia, there are excellent options right out of the grocery store that require no assembly. Not "tasteless and lacking both in substance and quality". None of the options I mentioned fit that description. Don't knock it until you've tried it.Yup, that's easy alright, as well as cheap, but I like to cook and I generally find pre-cooked meals rather tasteless and lacking in both substance and quality.

Absolutely, forgot about the tortilla. And have you noticed how it isn't served everywhere on VDLP like it is in the North? So picking it up once in a while at the grocery store is fun.The vacuum packed tortillas (with or without onion) you get in the chill cabinet are amazing value and feed 4 people for about 2EUR. Tinned fish and seafood are always nice too.
As a vegan/pescatarian (i.e., I'm mainly vegan, but eat fish a few meals a week), I plan on doing most of my own cooking along the way. Toward that end, I've got a small titanium pot with cover, a small stove (propane - I'll buy a canister in SJPdP like last time), and a Sea-to-Summit cutlery kit (durable, very lightweight knife, fork, and spoon).
A real simple meal for me is lentils, some chopped onion, chopped carrot (or other root veggie), olive oil, and salt and pepper . Simple, filling, tasty.
Then there's pasta, made with marinara sauce and a salad.
I'm in the process of developing simple meals I can make for my upcoming trip (who knows, maybe I'll turn them into a Vegan Camino cookbook).
In keeping with the thread title, that also sounds like the easiest cooking.The best albergue kitchen meals I had were when there were Italians, Koreans, Germans, etc cooking and I came in with a bottle of wine and said, " That smells great!" Almost always got invited to join them. People from other places combine ingredients in novel ways that I appreciate.
