Regarding the berries, we have bought apple, strawberry, bananna, and others from emergency essentials when they go on sale.

we ususally buy 3-6 at a time.

If you wait for the sale, you can get it cheaper than that.

The last batch of strawberries (ordered a case) was 16 bucks a can.

I see they're using tvp. I prefer real meat like what Mt. House uses.

MH uses ALOT of "Flavor enhancers" and that can wreck people with certain food sensativities

Just something to be aware of.

Your prolly right but it's what I carried on every backpacking trip. I never had a problem with it. Making an abrupt change from regular food to two week of nothing but freezdried was never a problem for me. The Rice & Chicken, Beef Stroganoff and pork chops are excellent.

To be honest those freeze dried fruits and veggies are looking very very nice,

A little pricey sure,

But all the work is done for me.

These go on sale sometimes do they?

I don't know what it is in the mountain house foods, but I feel terrible after I eat it.

Like T.A. said "Flavor enhancers"

MSG maybe...

Doesn't bother me (i like it)
But it messes with my wife, so I try to steer clear of it (thanks T.A.)

There is a recent thread here discussing it.
