Down voting Mountain House: a semi-cautionary tale

On a solo camping trip this summer I decided to eat just Mountain House meals and see how it went.

First night's chicken and potatoes tasted mainly of salt but went down OK.

Breakfast the next morning was egg scramble with hashbrown and... tasted mainly of salt. I could not finish it.

I had one more day to go and could not bring myself to touch another MH package. I am not a picky or high-maintenance eater but just could not do it.

The odd thing is that I've eaten MH before and did not have this reaction. But given this experience they will no longer be a main part of our preps or relied on as the only food source for more than one meal.

Edited to add: Your tastes may change over time. Just because it used to work for you doesn't mean it still does. Use your preps regularly to make sure they still meet your needs.
