Lyo Food: Moroccan Stew
Pros: Tasty. Really like that they use polenta instead of cous-cous. Includes pumpkin seeds and chick peas. Subtly spices, definitely not bland.
Cons: None.
Verdict: Definitely a yes for the trail. Although instructions said to add water to line 1, I think adding up to line 2 works well enough.

Adventure Food: Chocolate Mousse
Pros: Contains real pieces of chocolate!
Cons: Needs a lot of stirring to prevent clumps.
Verdict: After 4 days on trail, I am not sure this is exciting enough to cheer one up.

Adventure Food: Vanilla Dessert
Pros: A simple dessert.
Cons: Finding the measuring line is hard - there are only two markers; not a solid line. Packet needs to be flattened out at the bottom before stirring. Difficult to avoid clumps even with a lot of stirring.
Verdict: No for me. OH says yes. Try at home first, before taking on trail.

Lyo Food: Chilli Sin Carne
Pro: Tasty. The best in the series of food tested in Feb & Mar '26. Using polenta makes a big difference.
Cons: None
Verdict: Currently the first choice to take on trail.

Adventure Food: Bobotie
Pros: Very tasty. Really like the bits of apple in it. High quality raisins. I don't normally like raisins in food, but these were tasty.
Cons: Could not find anything that tasted like meat in it. Still found some grit, but maybe leaving for 5min more would solve that. Does not taste like traditional bobotie.
Verdict: Will take on trail. Even with the negatives, I still like the taste.

A question to anyone that own the 900ml (30.x fl.oz) MSR Titanium Kettle:
Does a fuel canister fit into the groove on the lid?
BTW It fits perfectly on previous generation kettle,

P.S. No local shops have the new model, so I have to mail order, and I want to be sure what I buy.

Ja, the majority was right. It is rooibos, but it came from a Rooibos Cappucino packet.
