I bought a variety of flavors for an upcoming backpacking trip. So far at home I have "tried out" the Herbed Mushroom Risotto, and I can tell you I find it is quite delicious. I will be loading up a bear can while on my trip, and liked the way not only this flavor, but all the ones I bought, will pack well into the can, as they are not overly bulky. Recently Backpacker Magazine gave the White Bean and Kale Stew meal a rave review, and I will try that flavor next. Besides its packability and the good taste, I do like knowing the ingredients in these meals are pronounceable. I think all these meals will turn out well, and I look forward to giving them all a try!
