I accidentally had an Epic in Spring of 2025 where my main source of calories were Backpacker's Pantry meals. On night 2, I was probably 3000 calories in a hole and cooked the Chana Masala. Each bite was equal parts chickpeas, rice, and CLOVES which made the meal entirely inedible. I've seldom been hungrier in my life, but I was totally unable to choke this meal down. Maybe I got a bad batch, but it's been months and I can still taste the cloves.

I backpacked the Quehanna Trail with my dog last month and took vegan meals with me. I found them to be generally a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise fine.
Hey Maya,
I am sorry you found our meal a bit too spicy. Is there anything I can do to help make this up to you?
Thanks!

The chickpeas would not hidrate for anything, we bought three of this and terrible. Would not recommend

Just open the bag, fill with some boiling water, let it sit to cook, and you've got a nice warm meal. The chana masala is delicious.
Glad you enjoyed Kim!!!!
