Last Resort Only
I like to prepare for emergencies. We bought the Wise food bucket for storage. Decided to prepare one for supper tonight so we would know what to expect if ever needed. This is easily the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth. We were able to get about five spoonful's in before we couldn't take it anymore. I would rather eat the dog! Mountain House or Legacy is more expensive but at least they taste decent. I will hang onto it as 'the last resort' but only if every thing else is consumed. Unless you enjoy eating mush, I would suggest cutting the water added by 1/4. As far as caloric intake, you would be better off eating a Millennium Bar from SOS at 400 calories vs. wise 250 calories, at least the Bars flavor won't inspire your gag reflex! Some have suggested only pouring out what you need at the time so as not to have to prepare all four servings. This won't work unless you can separate the seasoning/thickening agent from the pasta/rice mix into equal portions. As you can see from pic that would be a chore.
