Freeze Dried Food Satchels
Posted: Mon 29 Jan, 2018 7:43 pm
I have for the first time tried an Outdoor Gourmet freeze dried meal and wanted to do a short review. I got an 2 man meal of Thia green chicken curry, and followed the directions and found their was not enough water in it as well as the ten minute recommended cooking is not enough time. It seems to be better if left 20 minutes to cook the rice and weird dried looking chicken. I am not really impressed with this meal at the present time, but as family have given me 30 mixed satchels of the stuff for Xmas as well as lots of different camping and cycle touring gear, I will have to learn to cook this type of food and maybe choose better meals in the future. I am ex-army so have some experience in dried foods, but was not that impressed with this flavoured meal as of yet although it does taste really good. There is a lot of rice at least 90%, and although rice is high in carbs and carbs are what I need when cycling long distance, I would prefer more vegetable. Their is just enough chicken, to justify calling it a chicken meal, so if I was to give it a rating out of ten, it would be a 5. Other's may have a different opinion, but I wont eat rough this day and age and you should not need to. In the event of an End of the World scenario, you would have not much choice, and I would than rate it at a 7. So that is my opinion of this one meal so far. I will endeavour to post on other meals as I use Them sometime in the future. I am not affiliated to the company or any other food company and am not being paid to do a review.
