Outdoor Gourmet Vegan Lentil Dahl

The Outdoor Gourmet Company provides freeze dried meals to the Australian market. As far as commercially preprepared meals go and as the name suggests, they are a high end, high taste product. I’m a big fan of their current range and while I will very happily eat any of them, I do have my favourites.

The Outdoor Gourmet Vegan Lentil Dahl is the newest meal to the range. As the name suggests its a vegan offering and an addition to the meatless meal offerings hitting the market.

• Three year warranty which means you can buy this meal when you see it discounted thereby reducing the price. You also know the meals will always be edible
• Minimal preparation time.  All you are doing is rehydrating the meal so once you add boiling water there’s only a 10-15 minute wait (allow 15 minutes to get a better meal)
• If you eat from the bag there is only the spoon to clean up. In fact you may not even need to carry a bowl at all thereby limiting the weight you carry
• This meal is as close to ‘homestyle cooking’ as it gets. It just taste good!
• Freeze dried. This takes much of the weight out of the meal and helps to limit the impact on your body
• Vegan so will also suit a range of non-meat eater palettes

• The main negative of any commercially preprepared dehydrated / freeze dried meal is the cost. The Outdoor Gourmet meals are not cheap at approximately $12.50 per person for a meal
• Two person meals only (or one person if you’re really hungry)

Great choice for an easy to prepare meal whether it be on a short or long trip

The Outdoor Gourmet meals are really good for couples being just that little bit bigger which make all the difference after a week on the trail
