In one of my first trips in Quetico in the early 70's, our fearless leader packed the Coleman fuel next to the pancake mix.  I think everyone knows where this is going.  The morning we had pancakes everyone noticed that the pancakes tasted really strange and after eating the pancakes, everyone was burping gas.  I personally had what felt like heartburn for a couple of days.  In hindsight never pack Coleman fuel anywhere near your food.

Mac + Cheese

I hate with a passion M+C, but I usually take a box as emergancy food, hoping/planning that I'll not need it.

2 food stories;

A few years ago I got carries away and bought some freezed dried camping "food", including a couple deserts. I can't remember exactly which nore but maybe lemon pudding and a berry cobbler.  Both ended up tasting very bad and very runny. I think after a few bites we duluted it with a bunch of water and tossed it.

And many years ago, at the end of a 1 week/6 person canoe/fishing trip, all we had left was a few lbs of runny cheese and noodles (maybe Mac+Cheese) and maybe a few other things. Anyway, we put everything in a large pot and cooked it all up. When it was hot/warm we could dish it up, but when it cooled on our plates it was a very thick, stiff, gooy lump. It was probably 75% cheese. I don't remember what we did with it.
