 Vegetarian fast food, needs better packageJul 22, 2009
By try/star
This product is packaged in a tin that has a "paperish" pull off top. Why he maker doesn't use microwavable containers is a mystery. The couscous is tasty and has a nice mix of seasoning, but heating it really improves the flavor a great deal. The metal containers also make the weight much greater, a consideration when packing for travel.
Still, it's a nice convenience food for those wanting wholesome vegetarian food in a hurry or on the road. I take it out of the tin and put it in a microwavable safe bowl and zap it for about a minute to bring out the better taste. Serving suggestions to make it even better: mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons of your favorite raw nuts or seeds before heating. My favorites to complement the couscous are cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, Spanish peanuts or sesame seeds. Also try tossing the warmed couscous with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chopped fresh spring onions, arugala or parsley.
For better packaged on-the-go grains look at "Annie's Rice Express" products (my favorite is the sprouted brown rice) and "Go Go Rice". These each have a variety of fast vegi-food with light weight microwavable containers and have organic grains available. The St. Dalfour foods are worth buying, especially if you enjoy couscous for a nice change from rice.

Filling and nutritiousJan 30, 2010
By Roberta Karchner
I purchased this item as one of several to take on a train trip, and ordered extra so that I could try it at home to check it out in advance.
The Couscous is shelf-safe and can be eaten either at room temperature (which is how I tried it) or heated.
The flavor is strong and I chose to eat this meal with soda crackers on the side which helped offset the somewhat overpowering flavor. I also added an ounce of cheddar cheese to supplement the meal, and a cinnamon cookie to finish it off. Together, they made a nice combination and meal at home.
While I enjoyed the salad at home, and would enjoy it either as a lunch or dinner, I have some concern about eating it on the train ... I am concerned that the powerful flavor would be a bit much while "in motion." So I will be keeping this particular salad for a quick meal at home or in my office.
But I do recommend it, whether you make your choice as a vegetarian or simply to try a new side dish for your meat. It does work nicely as a side to chicken.

 Surpassed my expectations.Mar 23, 2011
By Shadekat
So I think we've all had our share of canned food nightmares. I once lived in the barracks at Ft Hood TX, on separate rations, and for many situations was forced to live on cold canned food. So hearing "gourmet" and other claims always is taken with a grain of salt.
I just tried this product for the first time today, and am very pleasantly surprised. The honey is quite a nice touch, the fact that there's just enough space in the can to mix and fluff the product, and the flavor is as good as anything I've had on the fresh side of things. The small fork like utensil that comes with each can is just the right size for easy consumption and fits back into the can for disposal. Portion size is just right for me, consuming both "servings".
If i were hard pressed to improve this, i'd throw a few dried cranberries (not many) and some pistachio nuts in, however that in no way says this is lacking in any way.
Great stuff, especially for ~$2 a can compared to fast food options or other convenience food. And a LOT better than the chemicalized canned options out there.

My favorite of the St. Dalfour lineJun 06, 2010
By A. Thompson
The nutritional information listed above is correct except for the sodium. My can has only 300 mg sodium per serving (13%) or 600 mg for the can (26%). It doesn't need to be heated and tastes very good. Excellent for the office.

Gourmet to Love!Mar 19, 2011
By CJConnor
I first discovered Gourmet on the Go at my local "Giant Eagle" grocery store and took a chance on it. I wanted to find something that I could grab in the morning to take to work and still be a healthy alternative. I must admit that I have not been disappointed. I looked online for it and found that Amazon has the best prices for it along with a variety to select from. I bought Cous Cous, Three Bean and Salmon varieties. I really like the Salmon the best, but they are all very good. Just like the name says, Gourmet on the Go... you really can take this anywhere - work, hiking/camping, afternoon snack. I really like the convenience of a meal such as this. I eat it at room temperature right out of the can. I like the packaging. It comes with a spork (spoon/folk combo) and salt/pepper, and a seasoning packet.
