Great thread, I'm hungry and just discovered it. Years ago we backpacked with another couple who always made a big production over every meal, wherever cooked. They brought the all the ingredients for shrimp bisque, but managed to simmer it over a slow "fire" of green pine. Truly inedible.

I was very nearly lynched on another trip for introducing my friends to fried polenta for breakfast. They also unanimously hated Grape Nuts with vanilla pudding mix the next day.
