Mtn House is barely tolerable to me, but after trying other concoctions, still the best option for dinners when doing a multiple day trip. It's just hard to beat the convenience, weight, and taste (ok). But it is high in sodium and has that chemical taste to it. Adding in some olive oil helps. Last thing I want to do after leaving camp before sunrise, and returning after sunset, is deal with 'cooking' and then dishes. I want a swig of whiskey and a hot meal.
I have thought about taking in a pack of hot dogs and some tortillas just for a change. The dogs could be submerged in the cold creek to prevent spoilage - although unlikely with all the preservatives added.
