Pros & Cons

Pros

Overall, these are good for backpacking and home storage but it's not something i would purchase except to take on camping type activities. These are quick, tasty. Great for camping and hiking.

This is a pretty tasty meal once you make it you just can't follow the instructions to make it. This is real food, really cooked, and the freeze dried. I feel like their meals are the iconic meal for backpacking.

Frank's buffalo sauce has a creamy cheesy buffalo sauce that had a nice zippy bit of heat to it. Only complaint is that i can’t cook with less water to make a thicker sauce because it leaves the noodles crispy. The pasta isn't like a home cooked meal,...  Read More

This pouch contains 2 servings but you must make it all at once. The entire pouch is 580 calories and is filling. For mac and cheese, this has 36 grams of protein per pouch.

Preparing the product is terribly simple though this one seems to require more stirring to loosen the clumps of powder. Total preparation time on the trail is about 20 minutes, depending on how long it takes to boil water.



Cons

The pouches are heavy and difficult to dispose of while out in the wilderness. The taste is forgettable. Of the bags were not glued at top and was spilled out in shipping box.

Competitiveness


So much better than many of the other brands out there.


We have tried a variety of emergency/freeze-dried food brands, and mountain house is consistently the best tasting imo.


However, it tastes much better than some of the other brands of dried brands out there.


😋we would buy this flavor again, and we pretty much only buy mountain house at this point for our emergency kit because the tas...  Read More
