[philmont] Cooking Meals - Hawaiian Chicken mystery solved!

Okay, one of my few times weighing in....

Hawaiian Chicken - you're better off skipping dinner guys.....forget it.
Worst food concoction ever! I don't care how you cook it, season it, eat
it, mix it, store it, separate it, (you get the picture). It is just plain
awful!!! We had at least 3 human garbage dumpsters on our crew who all
agreed with the rest of us, this was the worst! Swap it if you
can...whatever you do, save yourself!!! Get away from the Hawaiian
Chicken!!! Totally gross!

Keeping pace was a constant problem during shakedowns for us. It was a
problem from time to time at Philmont. Depended on who was leading that
day. But mostly we kept together much better than what we saw of other
strung out crews.
