Mountain House Freeze Dried Food

[Dr. Nebz]

For dessert, we did the MH freeze dried Neopolitain ice cream and freeze dried ice cream sandwiches.

We always bring dehydrated ice cream with us. Usually a post fish cookout fire side treat. S'mores are usually on the list too.

[Dr. Nebz]

I have not had the desire to try this yet. Any good. So far I just pack in ice cream and rootbeer.

Yes, it is very delicious, and weighs nothing. I brought two with me on the last trip, it was my birthday ya know!

[Scott Card]

Sorry I missed that. Happy belated birthday.

Hey, no worries, and thanks! I had a great one between OR and backpacking the Uintas, I really cannot complain!

[gloo]

oh my favorite is easily the chocolate mudslide. MMMM.

My favorite is the blueberry granola and the chili mac. The chili mac is best when you add some Fritos and some hot sauce to it.

I have been getting into freezer bag cooking, where you prepare meals yourself and put them in freezer bags and add water as you would for the MH. This is cheaper and doesn't have so much freaking sodium.

Glockguy, thanks for voicing your opinion with regards to the sodium level in Mountain House meals. I think you'll be pleased to know that we have a new line of meals with less than 300mg of sodium. I'd like to send you a free sample of one of these new low sodium meals. If you're interested, send me a private message. Thanks!

Just did my second backpack trip couple weekends ago. Took Beef Stroganoff and Spaghetti. Very good. Eggs not so much.

(Let's see.... three days, three meals... equals 9....) Hey ah Mountain House people, how many complaints do I have to raise to get 9 meals?

Not too sure which eggs you took Chere? In the last year or so MH has come out with "Wraps". The Breakfast Skillet is one of my all time favorites. Combined with some soft flour tortillas one package of the breakfast skillet has fed up to 4 people for me. $6.39, the skillet has Hashbrowns, Scrambled Eggs, Pork Sausage, Peppers and Onions. The hashbrowns seem to absorb most of the water normally left over from the normal Scrambled eggs meal they make. They are very, very tasty and I think you might agree? You might try one on your next outing? I also like their Chicken Salad Wraps a lot! Chunks of creamy chicken with red onions, cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Served cold in a flour tortilla makes a yummy lunch and once again plan on feeding up to 3 with one packet at $6.39! Their BBQ Sauce and Beef wrap is awesome also for dinner if you like "pseudo sloppy joes" and once again plan on feeding at least 2 if not more on one pack for same price.

Erin ( my BFF) she had the eggs, I don't remember what flavor she had but we didn't like them so much. However I am always willing to try again. We are headed out for a camp trip the end of May and kids want to try them. We will stop in and get a few.

Scott, I was all set to send you the meals but then you . Tough break.

[xjblue]

I was surprised the beef stew was better than expected.

Favorite is Pasta Primavera followed by the Stroganoff. Did not like any of the Eggs (tried plain and w/ peppers back in the day), And not a fan of the spaghetti, to me too much sauce, not enough sgetti. Those wraps do sound good so I will have to pick some up. Always on the look out for good selection of the single serving sizes.

I've tried out some meals by MH, in the last year, they are great and yummy, but never a dessert.

Is a dessert a really 'must have'?

Comparable with ...?
Thanks.

Beef stew and Padre Bay at sunset--that's hard to beat!

I dunno about must have...but it's okay and satiates a cravy for sugar out in the field. However, I'm not a fan of freeze-dried desserts. Brownies seem to work the best for dessert in my experience when you're hiking. Even if they get squashed in the bottom of your backpack to a flat pancake, it's still good!

However, the MH entrees are great when backpacking, especially after a long day in the Grand Canyon - Beef Stroganoff with Noodles, Lasagna with Meat Sauce (my fav), Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, and Potatoes & Cheddar Broccoli! The Turkey Tetrazina made my stomach turn and turn..no fun...I'd skip that one.

[zzyzx]

Thanks for that info, jman.
Brownies, yummi, a great idea. I'll try out.

I like the Spaghetti, Chili Mac, Lasagna, Chicken and Noodles, Mac and Cheese, and Pasta Primavera. Been meaning to try the seafood chowder.
But I'm going to stir the pot, so to speak, because I also really like a couple Backpacker's Pantry meals; Pad Thai Veggie, Chicken Vindaloo, and Katmandu Curry.
Any chance Mountain House is working on something a little more eastern?
