Food Find!

“How many people here have had a KILLER GOOD meal on the trail and it doesn't taste quite the same at home?
I made a trail shepard's pie with mashed taters and dehydrated ground beef which is good on the trail....it is okay at home. Try the Idaho instant fully loaded potatoes. Heck I like Spam (um it actually IS pork shoulder) and mac n cheese on the trail.”

“I found "salmon in a cup" at Wal-Mart, tried the mandarin orange the other night, yummy!”

“gross man”

“Its..um not salmon, that was a used "cup" if you get my drift..it just smelled that way.”

“Mandarin orange salmon in a cup?

Doesn't sound very good to me.”

“Salmon cups...sorry, I'll pass.”

“I haven't seen those. I have found smoked salmon in a pouch from chicken of the sea.”

“you people are just friggin' weird...”

“me too zac. The cups are about one good serving size and also comes in terryaki. Neater than the pouches as well.”

“They're busting on your find, twiggy!! Personally I think it sounds delicious, but that could be b/c I'm on a cleansing fast and feel like I could die of starvation any second. LMAO.”

“i don't like fresh salmon, let alone "salmon from a cup"...i know it's fine but that just sounds disgusting”

“i bought one of it a week ago just to try it...and to my surprise it wasn't bad. I think chicken with orange sauce in a cup would've been better though.”

“no schit lyra!

Like I tell my kids thriftyhiker, if you don't like something, just say "no thank-you" and can the rest of the commentary.
:)”

“bunnyb forgets she's in TT land here. ;-)”

“YUM, squishy orange flvored fish in a cup. Sounds delish. =)”

“I don't know, I have enjoyed some fishy taste with a bit of TWANG to it before. I think the most important part here is ...if you don't like it just SAY so and let it ride.”

“Sass, you are bad! :-D”

“LOL...

I guess when they come out with sardines in a foil pouch or cup I shouldn't bother to share how yummy the mustard/dill flavored is? ? ?”

“Are they sold in individual cups, bunnybuns?”

“yes dear.”

“:-)”

“It looks like a yummy red X.”

“grossssssss”

“Nice X there, ST.”

“hmm I see the pic.

still gross ya know!”

“it's a pic of an icecream bar/corndog....with mustard...Lmao.”

“Ew! I see it now! I had to view properties to see it.”

“it has potential... if only it were dark mustard.”

“i nearly die laughing every time i watch that episode where he loses his watch in the giant turkey and gets his head stuck in the bird.”

“Good gawd! Looks like a dog dick on a stick with vaginal warts all over it. Not that I know what that looks like mind ya.”

“Nice description, Nigal.”

“thanks to nigal, i don't have to view the properties to see the pic now.”

“Remind me not to hike behind Wounded Knee.”

“Hell yea! I got game!”

“LOL...all day breakfast....does that mean that you will be puking it up from breakfast until lunch time?

note the date, 1934, remember height of the depression people were eating CRAP "AND WE WERE THANKFUL FOR IT."

My question is....what does that portend to the casual user?”

“Somehow, I have been rendered speechless by that one.”

“a family member gave my brother-in-law a quad pack of self heating coffee servings...bought them at costco they said...

it's the packaging that was the thing, press a foil seal on the bottom releases water into a quicklime solution, and that heats the inside of a doublewall styrofoam cup...

“Isn't that special?
;-)”

“Yeah, beyatch it is...I see hot tomato soup in my future...you got a problem wit dat?....Pfffffft! LMAO”

“Brought some of those to a 3 day race a coupla years ago. Heavy but everyone sure appreciated when I popped em out of my pack at about 2 am! Not bad for a special occassion but they are relatively heavy.

A little coffee, powdered milk or flavored creamer, cocoa and maybe liquor (kahlua, baileys, whiskey). Same effect for fewer ounces.”

“Anyone tried the new Hamburger Helper Singles on the trail?
They are made for microwaving but look to me like they could be used in a frezzerbag add hot water meal.
They have dried hamburger in the packets.”

“I would try them however I had a bad drunken experience with the real thing back in college. To this day, I still cannot eat the stuff...

or drink tequilla”

“Snickers brand package of mixed peanuts. It has Chocolate covered peanuts, peanuts and peanutbutter bits. $1.00 at the 7/11. mmm..mmm...”

“Just found some chocolate chip cookies in my kitchen. Hmmmmmmmm. Want one?”

“I found whole chicken breasts in foil packs with the canned meat, the garlic was pretty good.”

“I've tried those Lt - they are great!”

“They have tuna steaks in the foil package that are real good also.”

“they go really good with the instant mashed taters in the bags too - you can make the taters in the bag, but be careful, it'll be really full.”
