My take on Mountain House as a foodie
I've gotten into long-term food storage prepping recently. Nothing crazy, just one month of food for myself, my wife, and our two kids. Before ordering a bunch of #10 cans, I ordered some pouches to sample, as I have never had dehydrated food.
The downside is that it's expensive.
Upside—This stuff is AMAZING. Seriously, I am impressed. I have only tried the breakfast skillet and biscuits and gravy so far, but I am really impressed. If things go south and my family has to eat this for a month, I don't think anyone will be mad. If the biscuits and gravy were more affordable, I would eat it regularly. It's close to as good as any biscuits and gravy I make and 10 times less work.
I've not tried the other freeze-dried foods, and at this point, I don't think I will bother. Sure, I could save a couple of bucks, but if in 25 years I don't need to use this stuff, I'm going to crack it open and actually enjoy eating it! I highly recommend it if you can afford to stockpile Mountain House as an emergency food source. I could happily live on the biscuits and gravy for a long time.
