Back Country Cuisine on sale

Oh hello chana masala! I need to try that...

Kia Ora Matthew, If you havnt purchased Chana Masala yet or Bobotie meals yet. Then now is the time to stock up! as they are being discontinued by back country cuisine in a couple of months. Available at www.redmoose.co.nz We also stock the range of Outdoor gourmet company meals.

The bobotie is an experience...I can understand why it is being discontinued. The pickle ingredient tasted like chuck to me. I once offered to share my bobotie with someone and they declined, saying they'd rather just eat their share of the unflavoured rice.

@Honora that's not a very good sales pitch for the bobotie one :-)

I had chana masala once it was terrible.

I've found the veggie carbonara and italian pasta flavours to be good. And the deserts work well - I've used the ice-cream and crumbled some afghan biscuits on top to make desert for a group.

My favourite is the Cottage Pie. The Smoked Fish Pie is good too and the Chicken a la King isn't too bad, particularly since they've got rid of those stupid bits of dehydrated bread. I'm restricted to gluten free though. Luckily most of their meals are this. The Venison Risotto doesn't contain soy! What's weird is that some of the meals taste as though they have added lemon zest e.g. the Venison Risotto. The roast dinners seem to be relying more on soy than they should. And the Beef Stroganoff has corn in it which is so wrong. Despite all this and the fact it is horribly overprocessed and full of nasty weird stuff I continue to buy it for the multiday trips as it's very light. I do dehydrate my own meals too or at least supplement theirs with my own dried veges. At least I now use organic dehydrated potato flakes.

I like the spag bol. The cooked breakfast is also good, if somewhat heavy on the sodium.
