This is why I wanted to buy pouches rather than in bulk.
As a side note, while in Wally World this morning, I noticed they had some freeze dried foods by Mountain House. I bought an ice cream bar to try. Believe it or not, it was good, even though it is hard to imagine eating an ice cream bar at room temperature. The wife even liked it.
Also picked up a couple of pouches of scrambled eggs & bacon; and one pouch of lasagna (contains 2 servings). I'll let you know how they taste.

It's a crappy day in NC, overcast, 36 degrees, and very windy. So, since we are softies and are stuck in the house, I decided to try the Mountain House scrambled eggs & bacon.
The pouch is designed to pour in a cup of boiling water, stir thoroughly, than seal the package for 5 - 6 minutes. Then you can eat right out of the package.
The bacon bits were o.k., but had strong flavor. The eggs were runny. I may not have had the water hot enough, and next time I'll use a little less water. What I ended up with was more like scrambled egg & bacon soup.
It is edible, and I ate all of it. SWMBO tried it and said it was o.k. and that she could eat (if nothing else was available).
They taste better if you take them out of the foil package after you have prepared them. That way, there is not so much of a metallic or foil taste.
All in all, not too bad but not something I would serve company. They remind me of some of the stuff we were served in the Army during the 1960s.
I have some MREs, and I'll try one of them sometime in the future.
