Mountain House Adventure Meals - A LIVE prep & taste test of 4 freeze dried survival meals
Mountain House Adventure Meals - A LIVE prep & taste test of 4 freeze dried survival meals
In this episode of the man show, we try some of the Mountain House Adventure meals for texture, quality and taste.
What that, the guys had mixed opinions about the meals and Mr Dog Poop did not think the bacon and eggs was edible while Jeff sucked down the entire feed bad.
These feed bags are very convenient for travel since the are dry, very light and last for decades in any storage condition.
Of course, you still need access to clean water which might be problematic in a survival situation. But for camping, hiking or travel they are a great option at around $10-$15 per meal.
The amount of food in each was surprising and likely enough to feed 2 people.
The beef stew had almost no beef and was relatively tasteless. An extra salt and pepper pack would have been nice to give it more flavor.
The one surprise was the Chicken Alfredo, lots of chicken and full of taste. In fact, everyone was tasting it after the show and it was overwhelmingly rated the best and very edible.
The fried rice on the other had had a chemical taste, just smelled and tasted wrong. Of course the did not prevent Macolino from eating the entire feed bag, so if is edible for people with no taste.
Our conclusion was that some of the meals were good and some bad as far as taste. As for value, they all had ample amounts of food and really are good for what they are made for.
Just a word of caution, if you are taking them camping or on a hike and they are your only source of food, make sure you try one first before you depart.
Not everyone likes the same flavor and these are hit and miss.
We tried to get Gel in on the conversation as he reviewed some different flavors on a episode of Bullshit and Beer but as usual, Mr Dog Poop and technology don't mix and that turned into a fiasco.
In all fairness, Mr Dog Poop does have some of these meals in his bunker for the zombie apocalypse and if that time comes, he will be chowing down on Mountain House Adventure Meals.
Watch the Full MRE Taste Test Video on YouTubeEating Expired Government MRE's Why would anyone eat expired MRE's? Seems like that would just be stupid and while we will admit, Jeff Macolino and Mr Dog Poop are not the 2 smartest men on the planet, they are not really that foolish. The fact is, the MRE's were sold on Amazon for around $15 each with a guaranteed expiration of 2 years from the date of the podcast. However, the items in the MRE's were clearly expired with clear evidence via packages of candy that had expired before the meals were even purchased. Our suspicion is that these were government surplus about to expire and some Amazon seller bought them to resell. This is dangerous since most people are completely unaware that they are expired and they contain meat, fish and proteins that do not last forever. If you purchased ...read more
Beer & Donuts - A Cooking and Review of the Express Mini Donut Maker Oh so long ago when we decided to make donuts. Beer and donuts we called it and the premise was to make donuts on our desks while live on the air and drinking a load of beer and whisky. Well, we did just that with a mini donut maker, so pancake and cake mixes and a whole lot of mess! Mr Dog poop takes out a 1950's hand mixer and blends that cake batter into a frenzy as Jeff Macolino just keeps eating the donuts before they are even finished. Neither of these guys should be allowed anywhere near a donut making operation. But nonetheless, they power though an episode getting burned and eating what they called donuts but more resembled a 2 grade cooking project where more batter ends up on the table than ...read more
The show starts off with some Florida Man stories that make people cringe. But breaking news comes from Glen in California who broadcasts live from the Blizzard in Tahoe. Internet service is spotty, but Glen promises to build a snow family of the addams family for Wednesday's show. Discussion of Trump vs Ron DeSanctimonious and how Little Ronnie took over Disney and put the workers on a bus to relocate them to New York. As they parted, Ron tweeted, take your wokeness back to where you came from! In depth discussion of how Ron the Dictator is destroying education in Florida and how students are walking out in protest. Powerless against the Desantis war machine, Jeff gives up and calls it a win for Mr Dog Poop. The guys discuss Sean Penn and his search for a crisis so e can be front and center. They question where his ...read more
Dash Mini Waffle Maker and Griddle Review Dash Mini Waffle Maker and Griddle Review The consensus of opinion was that these were the most useless appliances ever made. They are too small, too slow and make more of a mess than they cook. O course,Jeff goes off script making egg sandwiches because he know that Mr dog Poop has not been able to it so far. He sucks down what he claims is the most beautiful sandwich in the world and he is not going to apply at McDonalds for a job because of his one success. Mr Dog Poop struggles to make 3 waffles in an hour but does manage to make a potato pancake and a blueberry pancake. These was not much for Fat Chris to eat because it took forever to make one waffle. They did get a visit from Glen from Bullshit & Beer fame ...read more
