I have to admit I am quite fond of Maggi even on an ordinary day (packaged noodles sold in India by Nestle. And as soon as you take the name of any corporation the current turmoil in the global market starts creeping in my thought process, even though Nestle is not a bank!). On treks I just love Maggi.
If you trek in the Himalayas, along the path you can find temporary canteens selling Maggi, eggs and tea (and what a pity that this year I did not manage to trek at all!) and many of us wait eagerly to come across such a canteen. With big groups like YHAI (Youth Hostel Association of India) that usually have 50 people trekking, such points get jammed. I mean 20 of us would reach together and demand Maggi or tea or some such thing.
Yet, it has always been worth the wait and food tastes so different after a long walk!
Must say, lucky you are.I cant quite stand Maggi, and many a times I am left without choice 🙂
I didn’t like Maggi either, but omlette yeah. Cooking at high altitudes and on wood gives a delicious taste 🙂
Arun and Priyank, that is strange, I thought everyone loves Maggi, particularly on a trek. And my guess is it is the walking that gives the taste to the food.
Packs of noodles that just require hot water to be poured in could prove even more useful, perhaps, on such trips.:)
I will keep that in mind Sidhu, thanks for the suggestion.
