Best meal in a Bag!

During my two night trip in Shenandoah National Park last month, I ate the best meal I have ever had cooked in a bag: Mary Jane Farms Curry in a Hurry!

It is always a challenge to eat great tasting meals on the trail.  The best meals have been ones that I cooked from a trail recipe, but that is a lot of trouble, and usually, a little more weight.  Someone at REI had recommended this meal to me, so I decided to try it.  Perfect!  Delicious!

Usually, I find that when I add the prescribed amount of boiling water to a backpacking meal, it turns out "soupy."  That was the case with my meal the previous night.  Not so with the "Curry in a Hurry."  The amount of water to add was just right.  The portion size is for 1.5 people.  I couldn't find a half person anywhere - I did look - so I ate the whole meal myself.  I topped it off with a piece of chocolate.  I highly recommend this meal and have already bought another one for my next backpacking trip.  It is vegetarian but not vegan.
