Yesterday sitting in front of my door was a large box which could only contain one thing, my impending doom. After taking the bucket out of the box, I popped off the lid and rifled through the contents. Apparently, the meals come in foil packages of approximately five servings each. I still had some leftover food, so I put off eating any of the meals until today.
For my first meal, I decided to go with cacciatore. Basically, I boiled the contents of a foil pouch for 25 minutes and then let it set. Any idiot could do it.
I ended up mixing the food in with some white rice and the meal turned out to be rather bland overall. It wasn't terrible, just not too exciting. The thought of eating this meal on a regular basis gave me pause, but luckily, there are several other meals I can turn to.
Doesn't that picture make you want to go out and try this experiment yourself?

ReplyDeleteYeah, those look a lot like freeze-dried backpacking fare. The key to choking them down is lots of spices. On the trail, that's usually just salt and pepper, but you've got lots more options at home.
