Review on πŸ”οΈ Mountain House Biscuits & Gravy: Premium Freeze-Dried Camping Food for Backpacking, Survival, and Emergencies by Adam Tidd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great taste really impressed lyophilized

All you get here is a 3 serving sachet which is a lot of food for one but a good light breakfast for two. I'll start with everyone wondering how does it taste? Well I'm shocked to say it was delicious. I'm not familiar with their new and classic flavors so can't really compare them but what was in this bag was amazing for freeze drying. The cookies were tender, the sauce was plentiful (actually I got way too much sauce, believe it or not!) and the sausage was decent too. The sausage was a bit tough but still good, it was tender and not tough at all. I'm a big fan of cookies and gravy and I can say you can't go wrong here. It's not gourmet but for a sublimated package it was really good. Earlier I mentioned the abundance of sauce. Actually it was a scam for me. Don't get me wrong, I love sauce. The problem for me is that I felt like I was getting more than enough sauce with each scoop and when we got to the end of the pack it was literally at least a full cup if not 2 sauces not including the biscuits. I didn't want to drink the sauce alone, so I think more biscuits are needed here. At least 25-50% more biscuits make this a killer dish. how to use it It was so easy. I simply boiled water, then opened the bag and poured in the amount needed. The only downside is that there is no water level marker in the bag, so better hope you brought your measuring cups. After that let stand for about 5 minutes, open and stir and then let stand for another 5 minutes. Your dish will be ready in about 10 minutes. You can go longer if you want a plumper sausage. Overall I felt it was a really high quality meal that I would definitely buy again for hiking or camping. If you complement this with something else, you can have a really big breakfast for several people in the morning. The price is a bit higher than I like but it's hard to compare as other places sell a 2 serving version that only has 3 servings.
