Food

The Canoeroots staff taste-test showdown was a complete success this fall as we sampled a huge selection of freeze-dried and dehydrated meals for your next canoe trip. The full article, which reveals the Best Go-Light Meals will appear in the upcoming Canoeroots 2010 Buyer’s Guide.

One of our staff favourites was Harvest Foodworks Stoganoff, which unfortunately took a slim second place in the tastiest competition so I decided it was worthy of at least a blog. Here is what we thought:

PROS: Rich flavour, home-cooked texture and generous portions. The beefy-stew was noted by staff as a perfect meal to end of a long day's paddle. Contains wine powder.

CONS: Only trace amounts of wine powder.

PAIR WITH: A beautiful sunset and a glass of red wine.

COOK TIME: 8-10 minutes
