Don't really see a need for the food forum....just like all the other devices/equipment/thing-a-mabobs we all have, there is an inherent level of knowledge that's needed on how to use such items. That can be said about food items as well. Knowledge on how to best utilize/prep your food items is just as important as what food items to take in the first place..if your a reasonable cook you'll be fine. If not, practice. Don't expect five star dining in the wilderness, unless your with an outfitter (best gazpacho soup I ever had was on the Green River after a resupply). How many times have we all had campfire food thats outrageously good, while at home that same fare would be just ok. There's a book called "Storm Gourmet" that goes over food to fix when the power is out that I've found helpful. My 2 cents.
