Product Description
With Mountain House products on hand and a one-burner stove or candle to heat water (cold water can be used in a pinch), you can still enjoy a hot, satisfying meal in less than 10 minutes. #10 Cans have the longest shelf life available...up to 25 years! Each can is coated with a protective enamel inside and out for double protection, including the lid. The cans contents are protected until you are ready to open and use them. After opening, it is recommended that you use the contents with 2 to 3 weeks for best results and taste; using the convenient resealable plastic lid between uses. Treat any leftover food as you would fresh food. Mountain House freeze-dried foods are packed in airtight NITROGEN PACKED #10 cans or pouches. Up to 98% of the residual oxygen has been removed. Mountain House's unique canning process uses both vacuum oxygen removal and nitrogen flushing.

 Good for the Trail, Not for Gourmet December 20, 2008

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!
Excellent backpacking freeze-dried food October 26, 2009

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

There are other "Pilot Breads" out there, and the most popular is a little bit tastier. However, the packaging here is primo, this stuff is good for a loooooong time.
I would not buy the Mountain House Pilot Bread for general eating. Buy it for emergency/earthquake or survival food. I know some suggest hard red wheat and honey. What the heck are you gonna do with a 55gallon drum of hard red wheat? It has to be ground and then cooked... and generally, if you are in an emergency sitrep, your power and gas is out too, so it's gonna be hard to cook.
Get this instead, along with some peanut butter (and Ok, if you like honey, get some of that, why not?) and plenty of water. No cooking, it's not bad tasting at all, and most kids will have no problem with it.

I am blown away that anyone would complain about Mountain House products...On a PACIFIC TRAIL CLIMB glacier/cold weather I had the chicken breasts and mashed potatoes with green beans that tasted garden fresh. The 2 other climbers used other products and tasted my dinner and could not believe the quality. My wife and I love the SeaFood Chowder when the power goes out at home. We use our jetboil climbing stove to heat water and have a great hot meal. A bit too much sodium in the food, otherwise the best! We have a years supply of mixed emergency food items from Mountain House stored.

I have been buying these for my Earthquake Survial Kit.
They have a 30 year shelf life so that is a Must for storage.
Feed many People from just one can & lasts up to a week after opening.
Just add water, Have some in your Survival Kit. I Keep 55gal. Drums in my garage.
Many different Products to choose from from Breatfast to Dinner.
I buy a couple at a time to build my supply.
I just date them recieved so I know which is first to use.
