Well, I tried out a couple of things at home last night.
Mary Jane Farm Black Bean Flakes (spicy)

These rehydrated perfectly with cold water. They weren't spicy–in fact a little bland. A packet of chili flakes made some improvement. However, things were much better after a packet of parmesan cheese and some olive oil. Quite tasty!
Couscous near east–I think I put too much water in these. They rehydrated after a while (took longer than the beans) but didn't really taste nearly as good as when it is prepared with hot water. Mixed with the beans, it was OK. I wonder if any other brand would be better with cold water or whether minute rice would work?
Also, I'd love to try some of those packitgourmet no cook options.
