Has anyone else tried these?


Pretty darn yummy!
Looks like a shelf life of 7 months, no refrigeration required. Three flavors and they are already cooked.

I've tried their fish filets and wasn't impressed. Dry and tasteless.

I think that was the one I tried a couple of months ago. It was a large portion for one person. I made a tri-tip sirloin roast (from Costco) in the dutch oven this afternoon, very good.

I wish I had your appetite. I eat way too much.

You can't really try to cook them. 20 seconds covered in the microwave was all it took. Anything longer would have a bad result. I was thinking that it would be great added to a package of noodles or some other backpacking food.

You should be plenty used to that Hooli.

At least they weren't crusty and old and curmudgeon fish filets.

I have two CASES of MRE's. That's what happens when you have family in the military, mention you'd like a few MRE's and you'll get two cases. 12 per case.

We just bought that chicken breast in a pouch. I haven't tried it yet. With my undiscriminating pallet it probably would taste fine, but way, way too big, unless I had planned to share meals with another hiker or two. So I wouldn't bring it. I brought that tuna in a pouch on a BP one time. Stinks to high heaven after you open it, and I could only eat about 1/8 of it, so then what do you do with it?

Yup, I first tried to pawn it off on friends, all of whom were vegans or something, and then dug a hole and buried it (not the pouch). Then tried to rinse and wash the pouch, which I then had to store in two ziploc bags because of residual odor. I'll stick with peanut butter, crackers and cupa soups, thank you very much.

We had that chicken breast added to something on our Grand Gulch trip, and it tasted just fine. I don't have a very discriminating palette however, as I'll often eat cold spam or soup from the package while I'm at work.

I eat them all the time. I use them on the trail as well. I just set the packet in boiling water for a few minutes and they are done. I like all the chiken ones. I did not like the tuna ones as much, But the chiken is great. I have an alergy to gluten so most trail foods i can not eat. theese things have been a god send for me. I boil the packet of the chiken and boil one of the uncle bens rice that is already cooked in the same kind of packet and i have a good meal.
