Hi guys,
yesterday at work I had for lunch the MEAL COLD WEATHER entrée WESTERN-STYLE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH HAM, PEPPERS & CHEESE manufactured by OREGON FREEZE DRY, INC. packed April 19, 2012.
According to the instructions 8 ounces (about 270 ml) of water should be added. Based on my "experience” when preparing freeze dried food in the past that they need less water than recommended, I added only 250 ml. Ok, see the pics now

Closed pouch and also opened pouch with printings

After waiting 10 minutes: Reconstituted WESTERN-STYLE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH HAM, PEPPERS & CHEESE



Although I used less water than recommended, a large amount was not absorbed. I guess 220 ml would be enough (!?)

The taste: It was ok, but not great. I egg taste was not very strong, also the texture was odd. The ham tasted well, also the peppers. I seasoned it with some additional black pepper. Usually freeze dried entrees are very fine, that as I mentioned was in my opinion only ok.
