Probably one of the worst dry foods I ever tried, and it says a lot. I've serve 9 years in the armed forces and been living of dried food for a good part of that time. Do you self a favor, and spend you money elsewhere. I bought the Mac 'n cheese, Tikka Masala Lentils and Mushroom & Buckwheat risotto, they all taste equally much like cardboard and I haven't managed to get them probably "cooked" no matter how warm the water is before going in. The cup isn't practical either, it doesn't fit in any holder, if you're for example are driving an easy cup of cardboard on the go
