First of all, this meal is delicious. I have eaten a lot of backpacking food over the years, and Food for the Sole is easily one of the tastiest. It tastes more like a regular, home cooked meal than normal backcountry fare. My job requires me to travel regularly, both in hotels and tents. I also have celiac, which means I cannot ingest any gluten. That makes it very difficult to feed myself anywhere I go without it risking exposure. Food for the Sole has been a lifesaver. This meal is high calorie - and tastes awesome. It’s one of my favorite dinners while on the go. I can’t recommend enough.

I recently took a 5 day trip in Idaho's Whiteclouds. I wanted to move fast so I needed to go as light as possible. I didn't carry a stove, planning on just eating jerky, nuts and dried fruit. At the last minute I added 3 Food For The Sole cold soak meals (Triple Peanut Slaw & Zesty Miso Broccoli Slaw). Wow! They were among the best meals I've had on the trail regardless of preparation style. I highly recommend them. I'd like a few more calories perhaps, but I immediately ordered more meals when I returned from my trip.
