.
We are used to fast foods and many people to a sedentary lifestyle that eventually makes the body gain pounds,sadly so that is the truth .That doesn't include that the majority of the foods produced are super processed with things that you have to have a Ph.D in chemistry to pronounce (j/k) and the majority of the population don't consume fresh fruits of veggies.
Let's the arguments begin....

The first taste test, the Cheese Mac (remember that I'm an East-European, so we have an entirely different food culture):
Taste test: not very spicy, but a warm... thing to fill your stomach. Not my first choice, but not the last one either.

Tried last night the Mountain Chilli. Despite trying to improve with some sausage pieces, grated cheese and some ketchup, I was unable to eat. Taste was very, very bland, consistency like come dehydrated rubber, so I've ditched to my chickens. They were very enthusiastic in eating it.
Sorry, but I'd preffer some Mountain House

Is "mac & cheese" uncommon in Romania?
Here, there's an entire section of the grocery store with an almost disturbing variety! I'll try to remember to take a picture some time, if you're interested.
My favorite mac&cheese is one of Walmart's in-house varieties, and it's good mainly because you're supposed to use real milk and butter, which makes anything better.
In the USA, mac&cheese was traditionally a kid's meal, but it has become a comfort food for adults, too. I should have mentioned that, so you could have enlisted your niece for quality control testing.
I'm glad you didn't waste the "mountain chili", and that the chickens enjoyed it!
Fair warning: the rice&beans is even more bland.
I definitely recommend you prepare only half (or less) of it as a side dish with any main dish that you would consider eating with either rice and/or beans. Even though the packets are much smaller than MH, they average about 700 calories each.
I definitely recommend the same approach with the mashed potatoes. I got four side dishes out of one pack. The best combo I had was with a Philly cheesesteak sandwich (superb!). Also, for the potatoes, I recommend a 1:1 ratio of water, otherwise it's more of a thick soup.
The rest of the varieties are viable as full meals. I'll post up the water ratios, soon, so it's easier to make a partial pack.
I'm looking forward to the rest of your reviews!
How about a breakfast entree, next?
The important thing is the spices.

I'll go today to a First Aid training camp, where I take the dehidrated food I have and make some tests (I'll have plenty of time). So, I hope to bring some reviews on the next 10 days.

Have fun at first aid camp, looking forward to the reviews.
Make sure you level your pack out some or your back will not be happy.
