You're incorrect on it being processed, and the chicken fajita bowl is off the chain good.
I will say the breakfast scramble is my least favorite, but again; biscuits and gravy are good.
If you go any cheaper on freeze dried, the list of chemicals etc. goes way up; flavor way down.
Here is MH chicken alfredo: Sauce: Sweet Cream • Chicken (chicken meat, salt) • Blend of Parmesan, Romano and Mozzarella Cheese (cow's milk, cultures, salt, enzymes) • Corn Starch • Butter (sweet cream) • Yeast Extract; Less than 2% of: Onion Powder • Sea Salt • Garlic • Black Pepper • Parsley Precooked Noodles: Durum Semolina • Whole Egg • Salt
That list certainly makes it sound good. Makes me consider buying some, myself.
I don't know if I've tried their chicken alfredo, but I like that chicken is the second ingredient. All of the cheap freeze dried foods don't have meat of any kind in it. They are mostly just pastas or grains with flavorings and processed milk ingredients.
Freeze drying is the most expensive way to preserve food. It's also the best. It seems a shame to waste all that energy and packaging to use it on horrible tasting meatless food. Yes freeze dried food is expensive. But that depends on context. If you eat it 30 years from now it will seem like a bargain compared to whatever fresh food is going to cost at the time. People don't take it backpacking because it's cheap. They take it backpacking because if you tried to hike into the wilderness with a gallon of fettuccini alfredo to eat a week later, you hauled around 10 pounds of rotten slop for no reason.
I do talk MH food up but its not like I'm a shareholder or anything. I haven't tried every freeze dried option out there but MH is the clear winner of the ones I've tried. They do have some serious duds too though. Their "breakfast skillet" or whatever its called is horrible IMHO.
Freeze Dry Wholesalers is selling pizza again. This week only- and no guarantee the Navy will ever order it again (the large government order is a prerequisite for them to offer limited quantities to the public).
