Would give this negative stars if I could

Inedible. It tasted like soap and even after adding additional hot water and another 10 minutes, the beans were still crunchy. It was one of the worst dehydrated meals I have ever had.

Why are there so many cloves!!!!!

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.

a little too spicy for my taste

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!
