I my experience, the BP taste better and offer much higher calorie meals.

Though it's been a year or two since I've had a BP, I think prefer the taste of mtn. house; beef stroganoff and the chicken/veg./rice one top the list for me.

I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

I prefer nearly any Mountain House entree over nearly any Backpacker's Pantry. I prefer AlpineAire over BP as well.

I wouldn't put anything in the MH line-up in the category of gruel...

Sorry, that's true. To me they're all about the same. Some better than others. If I had to pick, it would be the MH Pro-Pak line. They're vacuum packed and take up less space in the pack.

I actually like most of the MH meals I have eaten! Maybe its that I am exhausted, and a hot meal is such an incredible thing!! grin

It is amazing how much better hot food(about any hot food!) tastes during a long backpack hunt.

MH anyday over BP. Although I had a BP chicken and dumplins the other day and it was good. But in general, MH.

I honestly haven't had a bad MH. I've not tried anything else.

I worked for a local Co. here as a sales rep that packaged dehydrated and freezedried meals, as well as sold the major brands, including MH and AA. We bought freeze-dried by the truck-load and I've been able to eat em' all. Guess I'm a bit of a Caliban, but I generally like them all and wouldn't equate any to "gruel." At one time we were in negotiations to buy Alpineaire... I wish that deal had happened as I'd still be comfortably employed behind a desk (grin).
Regardless, as was pointed out, a hot meal at the end of a long day is a blessing and MH, for me, makes it more so.

I recently lived on MH meals for 6 days and I liked all of them..Did kinda run out of gas on the 5th day, but probably cause didn't allow enough for breakfeast. Did order a large pizza and a pitcher of beer when I got out and thouroughly enjoyed it.  LC

Brad,
What are you top five favorites in MH? I realize I'm not Brad (he's WAY older)...but here's my list: 1. Beef Stroganof 2. Chili Mac with Beef 3. Chicken with Noodles 4. Lasagna 5. Chicken ala King I like to grab all the one serving packets of dried red peppers (like that come with pizzas) and add one to any of the above. While all taste good, all are a bit short on any type of seasoning IMO...

I'm a big fan of MH Chili Mac. It's good as hell going down, not so much on the way out..
