I can’t believe someone talked down about the MH chili Mac n beef. Blasphemy.
Taste wise it’s up to you on the freeze dried stuff. But there are oceans in between the brands on their shelf life/preservation techniques. If you’re just buying then and using them during the same season it’s a nonissue. If they’re something you keep or store for emergency food however, other brands don’t stack up. Not even close. Wise for example has almost atmospheric levels of oxygen in their meals, roughly 100x more than MH. https://blog.safecastle.com/2012/08/osu-lab-test-pits-mountain-house-vs.html?m=1
I’ve always been a mountain house eater, but was recently recommended to try the Peak meals. Good flavor, less water and better for you. I’m going to sample a few one of these days.

Turned out the scrambled eggs had gone rancid - that sure would suck! Not sure how old they were but the shelf life is finite. Probably some meals more than others

The best part is the huge portions - with a MH meal after a hard hunt you better have something else to eat because you’re still gonna be hungry. Not with the peaks.
