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.

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.

Lyo Food: Crema Catalana

Pros: Tasty, even better than some of the real crema catalana that I have eaten in restaurants. Real bits of orange peel make the difference.

Cons: None. (It is not going to look like a real crema catalana tartlet, but you are on trail).

Verdict: If I want to take a dessert on trail, absolutely yes. I would even take two ginger biscuits to round it off.
