      Comments about Mary Janes Farm Organic Wild Forest Mushroom Couscous:

      I guess I'm the exception here; I don't agree with all the negative reviews, but I do understand that everyone's tastes are different.

      My caveats up front: I love the Mary Janes Farms foods (my favorite brand for backpacking chow); I think it's great to have organic vegetarian and vegan meals available for backpacking, and in a flat-packet that is burnable no less, and secondly, I really like couscous.

      On to the review...It was a bit soupy when I made it as directed with 1.5 cups of water, even letting it sit longer than the recommended five minutes (which is quick for a backpacking meal, I might add). The second time through, though, I used 10 ounces instead of 12, and it was much fluffier and more couscous-like.

      All in all, I liked the flavor and texture, I will pack this one along an another trek. I'm giving it four stars out of five, as the Black Beans and Rice, Bare Burrito, and a couple other MJF meals are better and deserve the 5-star rating. Give it a try...

      Comments about Mary Janes Farm Organic Wild Forest Mushroom Couscous:

      This sounded so good, but didn't have any flavor. I am not sure how that is possible, as I like everything that is in it. After hiking all day in Glacier, I had to force down several bites - and I mean force.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Mary Janes Farm Organic Wild Forest Mushroom Couscous:

          I bought this originally for an emergency kit. I normally consume what I don't use within a year, and then restock, so I tried this. All I can say is that it was disgusting. I actually thought maybe the product had gone bad, and I was in store for a bout of food poisoning. Taste was terrible, and the aftertaste was worse.

              This was one of the worst packaged meals/side dishes I've ever tasted. It was overly salty and just had an all-around bad taste.

                This couscous made a great appetizer before another dish prepared as the main meal. It was delicious and tasty. Though it seems a bit pricey for the amount of food that you get. I would buy this again for backpacking.

                  I really thought that this would be great...as are many of the other MJ meals. After preparing, tasted it and passed it around to five others, and got the same results. "That's nasty". You should really pass on this one.
