バックパッカーのパントリーチャナマサラ　－　　８．８オズ

Very tasty! Easy to prepare and full of flavor. It is one of the few just add water meals I’ve tried that actually absorbs all the water and doesn’t leave you with a soupy sludge. The chickpeas did not fully rehydrate and were a smidge crunchy inside, but I personally thought it was still very enjoyable and I actually enjoyed the bit of crunch. A great option if you’re looking for vegetarian or meatless backpacking/camping food that actually tastes good. Only downside is it stained my plastic mess kit fork yellow. Will absolutely be buying this again for my next backcountry adventure! Just a warning: this is spicy. I personally love a spicy channa masala, but if you don’t like heat it may not be for you.

Maybe I don't expect a lot from freeze-dried meals, which also makes me cringe at their cost, but I think this meal was one of the better ones I've had. Yes, it's not restaurant or homemade quality. If you pick up a freeze-dried meal expecting that, then I don't know what to say. If you know what you're getting yourself into though, then this is a great addition to your meal rotation. Especially if you're looking for something meat-less. And as far as price goes, this is in one of the more affordable ranges for freeze-dried meals, which is nice as it gives me more options to take out with me. As others have mentioned, there is a noticeable spice to it. If you like spicy food, then it's nice to have that as an option and there were no digesting issues experienced from it. If you are sensitive to spicy foods though, then be warned. Especially if you have a limited supply of water with you.

These are little bit spicy, but overall tasty. When uoj walked for the whole day, nobody is that picky. Again if your spice tolerance is zero, I do recommend buying something else.

Yum

This was a good meal for camping. It was ready to make and everyone in our group enjoyed it.
