Smash Original Instant Mash Potato
Tastes just as good as mom's mash.
The label reads: “Just add 250 ml boiling water to the package contents and stir.” The fine print says the shelf life is 9 months. We say: Smash is to hiking what steroids are to a Bulgarian weight-lifter’s cornflakes. It won’t find it’s way onto a restaurant menu, but it’s certainly quick and easy. And at 52 g this is the lightest and smallest packaged starch you can take with you on a hiking trip.
With a knob of butter and some white pepper added it goes down pretty well. The price is also pretty decent.
Price: R5,99 (Note: Price accurate in October 2009)
Enough for: One person.
Go! says: It’s the Citi Golf of hiking starches.
