Sports reviews of AlpineAire Foods 7 Day Gourmet Meal Kit (25 Pouches)

Customer Review: Pretty Good
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

(complete review rewrite, now that I've tried more of these)

I have eaten a number of these now, as well as ones from the "Mountain House" brand. Both are very good. AlpineAire seems to do more complete meals-in-a-bag while Mountain House does more of a mixture of meals-in-a-bag and side-dishes-in-a-bag (e.g., you can get a Mountain House bag of freeze dried corn, if you want).

AlpineAire vs Mountain House, I really don't have a preference.

The only freeze dried food I tried and didn't like was the Mountain House "scrambled eggs with bacon". Hooo, man, those were awful. All freeze dried food has sort of the same texture, and it's not an unpleasant one, and it works fine for pasta, fruit, beef and so forth but I could not get behind the eggs. This AlpineAire pack did not have anything with eggs, which is probably just as well. Nothing I had from this pack was terrible. Let's see, which did I try...

* Beef Rotini: very good.
* Mountain Chili: not bad. Not my favorite blend of spices but not bad for manufactured chili.
* Blueberry Honey Granola with Milk: surprisingly good. Freeze dried milk actually came out pretty well. Who knew?
* Roast Beef Hash: ehhh, 6 of 10. Although to be fair, I have never liked roast beef hash anyway.
* Cheese and Cracker Lunch: actually just some big, dense crackers and a couple packets of squeeze cheese, not unlike Easy Cheese. Simple but good and requires no prep. Just open and eat.
* Western Style Tamele Pie: very good.
* Apple Almond Crisp: didn't like it. Bland. Reminded me of Quaker Apple & Cinnamon instant oatmeal except with a very weak apple flavor. It was edible but I wouldn't order a box of it.
* Bananas Foster: excellent. Freeze dried bananas actually came out really well, I thought.
* Chocolate Hazelnut Bavarian Cream: a little weird actually but not bad. I guess I'm not a big fan of "chocolate" + "hazelnut".

My only tip is to make sure you stir it COMPLETELY and leave a little extra hot water in case you find out you didn't stir it as well as you'd thought and need to add some more.

The ability to create a hot meal using just a cup of boiling water is great. Great shelf life so if you only go camping a couple times a year, no problem, as these can sit on the shelf for a few years.

They seem pricey but really it's about the cost of a trip to McDonalds per meal, so it's really not that bad, for what you get.

So I personally recommend getting something like this 7 day variety pack and a Mountain House variety pack just to get to try a bunch of different freeze dried foods, so that you know what specifically you'd like to order more of, then come back later for what you know you like.

Also, if you're buying freeze dried food with the intention of having an "emergency kit" of food for home, check out the Mountain House #10 cans, which are basically the same thing but have a shelf life of 25 years, versus these packets which have a shelf life of something around 4-6 years. (The cans, however, are not meant for camping. They are quite large.)
