Well-

When car-camping in Yellowstone, I broke out a package of dried squid that I'd picked up YEARS before that trip. After soaking in many chnges of water, I tried cooking it up with dried veggies and ramen. I could not get past the smell to taste it. Fortunately, I was able to use another planned meal and pick up suplies before hubby and I had to go hungry.

I have thrown out only a few meals in my lifetime. That one we still talk about.
