I ordered a sample of the whole range a few months ago, but have only had opportunity to try a few as yet. The ones I have tried are good - better than the pasta or rice dehyrates you get from the supermarket, but I don't think they have as good a flavour as the expensive freeze dried meals around. I found them very accommodating to deal with and have no issue in recommending the products they manufacture. I don't have a favourite but will report back after I have tried a few more.

Sth and I have good appetites and we both are satisfied with the Freeze Dried meals (they do make really good plain FD rice which you can add if you need extra bulk ),expensive not really especially if you get them with a "membership card 25% discount"and the fact that there is no washing up and only a minimal use of fuel to boil the water.
Strewth man, the rivers are full of fish and carrying a few potatoes isn't that much bother is it?Speculator wrote:Now.... if someone could just freeze dry or dehydrate fish and chips for me I'd be stoked!L8r.

I found their mince a bit dodgy in respect of flavour, but I think this is an issue with most retail dehydrated meals.

The company are based in Tassie but the label on the box shows that they import from USA so they are a middle person distributor -I think . Never the less I still think this food is to be recommended . Stay well.

Does the actual food packaging say the food contents are made in the US? The Strive Foods website certainly clearly states that the food is "Australian made" (see "About Us").
We've decided to try some for our upcoming trip to Tassie - no time dehyd our own food and one of the other items that we normally use - Ainsley Harriott Risotto (with a few extra fresh ingredients thrown in) - doesn't seem to be available at the mo (just the cous cous). Will report back.
Cheers,

Also great for vegetarians as they use a product called TVP (Textured Vegetable Product) - tasted like mince to me!If stored too long, some of the ingredients were very hard but a bit of time soaking solved this.
Their dried mixed fruit was tasty ( but stingy) & could be hydrated for stewed fruits. Definitely a one person serve. The accompanying biscuit was very bland.We put our heads together & administered honey & Milo to the solution for an unusual palatable alternative!
