[at-l] Freeze Dried food questions.

[icw39@ncfreedom.net (Clark Wright)]

I second that "mastication suggestion!"  :) Backpacker's pantry's "green
beans almondine" are an awesome, lightweight veggie sprucer-upper on the
Trail.  Add some real butter, or even powered butter buds, and you have
a gourmet veggie addition for a great dinner.  Their corn is really
good, too.  Their main courses are variable - the lasagna to me gives
the best flavor and calorie bang for the buck, and you can add to it. 
They also make an AWESOME freeze-dried salsa - again, great for adding
zing and variety.  They are not cheap, but you can invest only a little
money to use these kinds of items as incredibly lightweight methods of
adding real zing and variety to at least a few of your meals . . . if
you are really planning to do the entire 2,168+ miles, I think you can
order this stuff online from campmoor and get a 10% discount if you
spend $200.00 or more . . .

Hike [and eat] on!
