Worst Meal You've Ever Cooked On the Trail

[atmilkman]

Maybe your trail name should be Fireball!! That's pretty scary.....

We named a guy boom boom after he blew up a MSR fuel can with a pocket rocket cross threaded on it. We hear this BOOM and turn and look just in time to see a fireball about 5 feet in circumference. The bottom of the can hit another guy in the groin and we just called him lucky.

These stories are all good ... LOL!!

For me the worst would be any of the Lipton/Knorr instant rice. Probably the biggest disappointment was Packit Gourmet's spaghetti.

raman noodles and tuna in a foil pack. why i took out tuna is beyond me, since i hate eating fish.

With that I can added anything with Canned Salmon... must be an Alaska thing.

Canned salmon is gross; our cat wouldn't even eat it......

I don't think I beat the Elf's nail polish story, but here are mine:

1) On a sub-zero camping trip in Scouts, apparently the white gas leaked through the plastic baggie, contaminating the fudge my mom had packed for me. We still tried to eat it, but the smell was overpowering.

2) Trying to cook pancakes in a pot and without a real spatula. What a mess. We didn't eat that night.

3) Richmoor Eggs Bandito that had probably been sitting in my food bag at home for 5 years. Just say no.

Worst for me is any kind of freeze dried eggs. Yuckkkkk!

Elbow macaroni, coconut jello, and sugar packets in a bottle. Drink when noodles soften.

How'd I miss this thread the first time around?

Oatmeal, sweetened with the Dr Bronners that I sleepily mistook for honey. (It was a 50-50 chance, I had only two squeeze bottles in my pack.)
