Hey guys, I've been trying some different pack meals-especially something different for breakfast than (G)oatmeal or the usual dehydrated eggs with whatever. This morning I tried a PackitGourmet Polenta with Sausage. And as an amateur chef, I have to say....DAMN!!! This one's always going to be in my pack!! It actually rehydrates to a little more than I can handle, but could easily work for 2 if you have something else on the side. You might want to add a little Parmesan cheese to it, but that's a personal taste thing. This one was simply outstanding! I also tried their pico de gallo salsa, and didn't care for it;there's a strange spice I can't put my finger on. Will let you know how their other offerings go as the month wears on. I try to go light, with the exception of decent stuff to eat. After all, wilderness hunting isn't supposed to be the Baatan Death March--it's our vacation, right?
And unless you like bitter coffee, REI's Alpine Gourmet was a thumbs down for me, even with cream!
And to be fair, my only problem with Mountain House is the lack of variety in the single meals, whereas all the Packit Gourmet meals are singles.
