Hi...
A short time ago I asked Wise Company for a sample of their freeze-dried food. They sent me a pack of their four-serving (four cups) Chili Macaroni, which was 100% vegetarian. Calories per serving were listed as 250.Package weight was listed as 9.7 oz.
It could not be cooked in-pouch. Per directions, I poured it into four cups of boiling water, turned off the heat and let it sit for 15-minutes.
I thought that the texture, taste and mouth feel were slightly off...but a squirt of catsup improved the taste right away. (pause while going back for seconds).
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it as a seven (after the catsup was added). I wouldn't hesitate to keep some on hand for emergencies, back-up meals, or BOB/trail food.
They also now have some foods that DO contain meat.
