[pct-l] New precooked backpacking meals

[ed faubert]

Has anyone seen or tried these new precooked meals in pouches..... I  just had a RONI Express  savory rice pilaf in which i added a package of precooked lightly smoked scallops by a company called Majestic!   I added one pouch of soy sauce to it at the end and Viola' was it ever good....
  I have been eating these pouches of seafood for over a year now but its always been sardines in them but lately i see new ones with scallops and also imt. crab meat in them... they have also had fruit servings in these same pouches.... The best news is i get them at the 99cent store and sometimes they are 2 for 99..... I also picked up 4 pouches of tomato sauce for 99 cents this week... beats carring a small can ot tomato paste for the pasta dishes.....
  Seems odd that so much of the food i have been eating in the canyon lately comes from the 99 cent stores....choc covered cashews...cashews in garlic salt....various gorp mixes and all kind of cookie or cracker boxes...10 packs of 6 each..... there other main dishes ready for the microwave that you can transfer them into plastic bags and just heat and serve them ...
  and those who are into candy bars you can get lots of them at a good price.....even the same type of little debbie pastries are all in the store i shop at.....
  Cann't beat the prices and as they are ready to eat great for quick meals on trail.....
