 Good for the Trail, Not for GourmetDec 20, 2008
By Obi
For backpacking, you can't beat the weight savings of freeze-dried food. For some reason, the Mtn House rice doesn't agree with me, so I got the can of Diced Chicken. It's actually cheaper--in bulk--instead of buying their pro-paks. Plus, Mtn House puts way too much rice in their pro-paks.
The taste is, well, the taste of manufactured, cooked chicken. What do you expect? Don't get me wrong; it tastes well enough to eat, and on the trail it tastes better.
One serving (on my scales) weighs 1 oz. Amazing. Unbeatable.
I bought some Lipton freeze-dried chicken fried rice and will divide it up with the chicken for easy, on-the-trail food-making (in those Ziplock ZipnSteam bags).
If you don't have your own dehydrator, the weight savings alone is incredible--and worth it. Highly recommended for backpacking!

 The Beef Teriyaki is very goodOct 27, 2008
By dln
I bought the beef teriyaki with rice and am happy to say it is quite tasty. It looks a little mushy after you mix it up but thats not a problem really. The texture in your mouth is good and there is a quite satisfying teriyaki sauce taste to it. This is important because if you've had real teriyaki you know that the sauce really defines it and if they skimp on that it becomes an issue. That is not a problem here.
The only con is its a little tricky to mix and get prepared just right. The beef chunks are large enough that sometimes water doesn't seep in and reconstitute it like it should and you end up getting a beef chunk that is partially dry and crunchy inside. This is easily solved though by ensuring to mix with the full 3/4 cup of boiling water and mixing it better than normal before covering it to heat.

Excellent backpacking freeze-dried foodOct 26, 2009
By Michael A. Duvernois
The food quality is good and it's quite tasty. Obviously this is too expensive for anything but times when you need lightweight, high quality food. That would be backpacking.
Rice & Chicken : tasted good, I'd add a little black pepper or hot sauce
Beef Stroganoff : very good
Rice & wild rice pilaf : excellent
Chicken a la king : too sweet for my taste, but other folks liked it
Pasta primavera : excellent, good crispness on the veggies

Two Adults, Two MealsJun 23, 2009
By DigitalErin
We brought a can of Lasagna with Meat Sauce on our overnight backpacking trip. It fed two adults, twice. It was filling and tasted pretty good, even with strings of cheese. The can was a little too bulky for a backpack, though. Next time we purchase Mountain Home foods, we will get the 2-serving packs.

The spaghetti and lasagna are AWESOMENov 13, 2010
By Mr. Steve W. Robertson
I've taken the lasagna twice on camping trips and it was a hit! My friends brought regular food and laughed at my "freeze dried food" UNTIL THEY TRIED IT. I practically had to stab them with my fork to keep them away from the Mt. House lasagna.
I just bought my second #10 can of spaghetti. Originally I came to amazon to purchase the lasagna, not for camping or survival food but just because I like it. I saw the spaghetti was cheaper so I bought that instead and I loved it too. To be honest the lasagna is better but more expensive. I ate the #10 can of spaghetti over a period of a couple weeks. I would make a "mug" of the spaghetti as a special treat for myself. Sometimes I would just pop a small handful of the dried spaghetti in my mouth. It sounds weird but it is eerily good. (Don't knock it till you try it) Soon it was all gone.
I was craving the spaghetti over the last year or so and finally couldn't take it anymore and just ordered another can. When it gets here I'm going to have a huge plate of it.
With the free super-saver shipping and discounted price I think this spaghetti costs the same or cheaper than other convenience foods and anybody who has ever made spaghetti from scratch knows how expensive that is- I think this is a DELICIOUS BARGAIN. But stay away from my #10 can of spaghetti when it gets here or I might stab you with my fork.
I've also tried the Mountain House beef stew. Also great but not as good as the spaghetti or lasagna. Next time I'm going to try the beef strockingoff.
