I've been eating Mountain House freeze dried food for years, works fine for me. A number of flavors I like. I can OD on them pretty quick if I'm spending a lot of time backpacking, but here and there they go down easy. The last time I was stocking up at REI, right next to them was Alpine Aire dinners. Some intriguing sounding flavors. Decided to grab a couple of those too just for something different. On my last trip I had their Thai chicken with noodles. It was good. Seemed way more flavorful than Mountain House. The chicken actually resembled chicken. It had a bunch of cilantro in it that really made it pop. Hoping their other stuff is as good.

As commercial meals go, AA is much better than MH. You can get a good selection online as well.

The other thing one can do is buy the MH freeze dried ingredients in #10 cans and combine them with your own spices to create your own recipes. This can be cost effective as well -- as many ingredients like instant rice, powdered potatoes, etc may be gotten cheaper elsewhere. Packed in quart freezer bags such meals will last for long enough for a long backpacking trip -- just not the years of the factory sealed foil packs.

I've tried a few more flavors. The spicy sausage pasta was good.
