Mary Janes Farm Organic Wild Forest Mushroom Couscous
Mary Janes Farm Rules!
By Big Papa
Ranked #3 - Food
October 1, 2010
I guess I'm the exception here; I don't agree with all the negative reviews, but I do understand that everyone's tastes are different.
My caveats up front: I love the Mary Janes Farms foods (my favorite brand for backpacking chow); I think it's great to have organic vegetarian and vegan meals available for backpacking, and in a flat-packet that is burnable no less, and secondly, I really like couscous.
On to the review...It was a bit soupy when I made it as directed with 1.5 cups of water, even letting it sit longer than the recommended five minutes (which is quick for a backpacking meal, I might add). The second time through, though, I used 10 ounces instead of 12, and it was much fluffier and more couscous-like.
All in all, I liked the flavor and texture, I will pack this one along an another trek. I'm giving it four stars out of five, as the Black Beans and Rice, Bare Burrito, and a couple other MJF meals are better and deserve the 5-star rating. Give it a try...
