Mary Janes Farm Organic Chilimac

Over a recent 3 day trip with 8 people this was the favorite for for just about everyone. This will be on the menu every time from here on.

Rather than write a small review for each individual item I recently purchased I thought I would share it all in one concise review. (Note with most Mountain House I add 2-3 oz less than it recommends)

Recommend:

Breakfast:
Backpacker's Pantry Granola with Blueberries and Milk – Favorite :) (serve warm)
AlpineAire Strawberry Honey Granola With Milk – healthy and good! (serve warm)
Backpacker's Pantry Denver Omelet (needs pan) – best quick eggs I have tried.

Lunch/Dinner:
Mountain House Chicken Ala King – Favorite :)
Mary Janes Farm Organic Chilimac - Favorite!!!
Backpacker's Pantry Katmandu Curry - Yum
Mountain House Macaroni And Cheese – Oh to be a kid again!
AlpineAire Chicken Gumbo – Delicious

Sides/Deserts:
Mountain House Potatoes And Cheddar With Broccoli – Favorite :)
Mary Janes Farm Organic Garlic Pesto Fry Bread – I love bread! (bring oil)
Mountain House Peas – Eat your veggies! Add 1-2 oz less water
Mountain House Corn – Favorite, Add 1-2 oz less water :)
Mountain House Green Beans – Add 1-2 oz less water
Mary Janes Farm Organic Brownies – Yes really good!
Mountain House Ice Cream Sandwich – Don’t get the Neapolitan, this is much better.
Mountain House Blueberry Cheesecake – Nice size berries, make in a bowl NOT the package. (Note it will NOT keep
Overnight).

Pass:
Backpacker's Pantry Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes – The Mountain House Potatoes and Cheddar with Broccoli are MUCH
better even the resident mouse in our cave didn’t like it.
Mountain House Scrambled Eggs With Bacon - Backpacker's Pantry Denver Omelet is much better IMO but requires a
pan.
Mountain House Scrambled Eggs With Ham - Backpacker's Pantry Denver Omelet is much better IMO but requires a pan.

Neutral:

I've never had a better backpacking meal in all my years!!! I'm an organic vegetarian and, even if you're not, this will be the tastiest backpacking meal you'll ever have that'll give you so many needed nutrients! Three cheers and five stars for MJF.

Wow this stuff is good, I found myself SCARFING it down and wanting more. I like Mary Janes Farm and all but it was really good, not just for Dehydrafood but good... period. Like, I would eat this at home if I wanted to also, because it's that good, so just get some, and you'll see!!! Plus, you can burn the bag, the foods organic, and really Delicious... Seriously. My new staple.

It's a bit pricey, but it is good. I had to bring a dish to potluck night on a backpack trip. I combined this with a package of spanish rice. It was a hit and many were able to get a good size sample. I would buy this again.

shockingly delicious!

This is about the best pre packaged camping food I've had. I'll be taking this on all my trips.

I haven't had 'em all, but I've had quite a few. MJ's Chilimac is by far the best, making this one destined to be a part of every backcountry expedition. It's kind of expensive, but it tastes so good you'll know why. A satisfied belly is a priceless commodity after a hard day on the trail. The burnable packaging is the icing on the cake--no waste to carry out. Give it a try. If you don't like this meal, you won't like anything.

Tried it on the trail for the first time. This stuff is ULTRA convenient and tasty as well. Cooks in the pouch, no fuss no muss. I agree though, the 1.5 serving ('Backountry' I believe) is a little small if you've been going at it all day. I’m 6'3" 190 and I ate a 1.5 c-mac and a 1.5 mashed potatoes. Dehy-food has come so far since the sawdust of the 70's.

Gotta love the chilimac. This stuff is a great meal all by itself. Combines the fun of having chili before a night in the tent with the taste of macaroni and cheese. The 1.5 serving size must be for midget people though because that just barely feeds me, and I’m a fairly average sized guy. Great food…and the pouch cook is awesome.
