*We often get asked about meal sizes. A Medium is perfect for me (a female hiker, even on tough Rim of Africa type hikes). A Large – think more hungry man-sized. And then High Performance options with added quinoa – excellent for growing teenage boys and ultra lengthy, tough, cold hikes! I hope this helps.

One of my 3 favourites of the Trail Food Co main meals – they even come with little roti breads that you can warm up on your stove to accompany the delicious Dhal. This is a stable on every trail I do! thanks Trail Food Co – a winner!

I took some Jalapenos with me and put that in the Dhal. Ate it on top of Sentinel Peak, terribly cold and the food was nice and comforting :-). The Dhal and the Couscous are my favorites.
Patricia –
Definitely one of my favourites. And one of the quickest and easiest too.
Sam Lownie –
This is my favourite meal so far! Yum yum yum!!! I will be ordering this again for sure.
Jeanne –
Loved this meal! Great texture and flavours. I’m definitely taking this one on my next hike. Thank you Trail Food for creating delicious locally made food for hikers.

I thought I made a good red lentil dahl…until I tasted the Trail Food version. It’s superb. Amazing blend of flavours, with just the right amount of chilli umph to enhance the other spices. I love it. It will be a firm favourite supper to look forward to on all my trails going forward!
Karyn –
This flavour is divine – it was a wonderful surprise! It has curry spice, but at the perfect level to still be enjoyable for those who can’t handle hot curry.
Liz Sorrell –
This Dahl was my absolute favourite main meal when doing a 5-day hike last December. Nicely spicy and super flavourful, it’s genuinely restaurant quality. Yum!
Shannon –
This was amazing. I can’t believe it’s a dehydrated meal! It has a great flavour, is super filling and keeps you warm. I definitely recommend this one if you enjoy a mild curry. I will definitely be ordering this again. I need this recipe! ????

Gluten and dairy free option winner for me. Was delicious on the trail
Only had to boil water and soak in packet. Easy and lightweight

I went hiking for 9 days through the Italian dolomites. This was so tasty and lekker after a full day in the mountains. I’ve enjoyed every bite!
Jeanne –
This was my favourite Trail Food meal on my recent hike. Cooked well with loads of flavour. Will definitely choose this meal again.
Leanne –
My absolute favourite of all The Trail Food Co meals. Flavourful and comforting after a long day out! pairs well with the mini rotis!
Manny Silva –
thanks for the delivery, had the dahl and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was
Jen –
Delicious and healthy for days up in the mountains.
Schalk Cronje –
I am so used to the overseas brands being very bland and sometimes don’t seem to rehydrate well. This one is slighly cheaper than those brands. And more importantly, just so tasty and flavoursome. Everyone in my group that tried agreed. Had it with some Pick n Pay mini wraps as compliment.. South Africa definitely has a winner here
Trish Scaife –

Just came back from a 4-day hike and thanks to TrailFood we ate like kings. The Red Lentil Dhal was my favourite and I’ll eat this at home.

This meal was super yummy! Lots of flavour and so easy to make on our hike. Will definitely buy this meal again and perhaps even keep some in my pantry for those days I don’t get around to cooking.
