AlpineAire Ranch Omelet with Beef

AlpineAire Ranch Omelet with Beef description

The AlpineAire Ranch Omelet with Beef makes for a good start to any day. If you own a cookstove or even just a pot and some matches, these freeze dried and dehydrated meals are the way to go. They're lightweight, compact, and super easy to prepare. The meals are packaged in resealable foil pouches. Most weigh between 5 and 7 ounces and offer 2 servings. To prepare a meal, just add a couple cups of hot water right to the pouch. A few minutes later you're ready to chow.

AlpineAire's consistency is more powdery and just an overall strange texture. There's usually some odd quirk to it too, as mentioned in the review from 9/28/06. If it was the last thing I had and I was going to be stuck outside for another day, I'd eat it.

Most of the breakfast meals are an egg powder you mix with cold water, then cook in a frying pan. I didn't realize this when I bought it. Not a big deal, but cleaning a pan in the wilderness isn't the easiest business. There are some egg meals that don't require frying, I prefer those. However taste wise, this was fine. Just add some seasonings and tabasco if you like it.
