KB, You can try coscous as well. It cooks up really fast and you can add all types of good stuff. I like to add crasins, and nuts to my coscous! Jason
I agree with coscous. It's good stuff. You can keep the craisins though gag.gif eck.gif

Good dense bread, cheese, hard salami or other cured meat--classic foodie picnic fare. Tall Grass Bakery's seeded rye is one of my favorite breads for hiking. For breakfast, I like to bring Bob's Red Mill Muesli. I also like to bring salad--I miss greens when I'm hiking. Put the greens in a plastic bag, fill it with air and seal it to keep the greens from getting crushed.

It doesn't matter what you do with rice man. It's still rice.

I am saddened when other hate many foods! I cannot imagine being a "meat and tater" type of eater. I will try nearly anything once..often why food is nasty tasting isn't the food rather how it is prepared. Overcooked, watery or greasy food is rarely good. I am also blessed with a kid that will eat anything for the most part. Our rule is you must try it if it is offered. Hence the kid loves nearly all Asian cuisine and still loves eating steak. His nickname is Lil' Hoover due to his incredible appetite lol.gif Rice is like pasta to me: I cannot imagine living without it. Give me Jasmine, Red Cargo, Purple sticky, Basmati, white sticky....wild rice, brown rices...I love 'em all.

Simple curiosity here, but have you tried any of the more "exotic" stuff like insects? I've had chocolate covered ants and a grasshopper. Only evidence of a bug was a sort of crunchiness, beyond that it was just chocolate. But of course chocolate can make most anything palatable. I've always been strangely intrigued and disgusted that my "Beyond GORP" book explains in detail how to catch, cook, and eat mice and squirrel.

Lol..I love the section on Mouse Hamburger. Yum! (Ok, not) I have eaten a number of odd items, including octopus eyes. paranoid.gif That I wouldn't go back for seconds. I grew up very poor and you ate what was put in front of you, wether or not you thought it was good. We ate a LOT of cow tongue from the rancher next door and whatever else my dad traded work for at times. There would be good times like when my dad's buddy caught a ton of Sturgeon and they smoked it. My mom was a very good canner and canned it for them. We ate that fish for years and it was SO good. Squirrel isn't bad actually, especially the plump tender ones in my yard wink.gif They are my backup plan for the end of the world biggrin.gif

When I was in junior high my dad taught me how to shoot a wrist rocket. Soon after we went out on a camping trip. Low and behold I saw a squirrel up in a tree.I thought i was all alone but you can bet dad was watching. I shot probably 30 marbles at that squirrel and missed every time. I finally did hit it. It fell out of the tree in the bushes and I felt absolutle horrible about it. Dad came up and asked me why I killed that squirrel. I said in tears "I don't know". To teach me a lesson for taking a life for no reason, he made me clean, skin, cook and eat that squirrel. A lesson I never forgot.

Wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. It was a pretty scrawny squirrel. Wasn't much there. The lesson was a pretty bitter pill to swollow
