We recently tried two of the pouches: Rice w/chicken and Beef Stroganoff.
The Rice w/chicken is just that: mostly rice with some small chicken bits. Overall, for rice, it was okay.
The Beef Stroganoff was better, but was long on noodles and short on beef.
The instructions say to add water to the pouch contents, zip it shut and let sit for 9 minutes. We dumped the contents into Corningware dishes instead and let it rehydrate in them. In hindsight, it might have been better to do it as instructed and check those results. 9 minutes wasn't enough to fully hydrate all of the mixtures and the Rice w/chicken needed more than two cups of water as it was a little dry at first.
All in all, not the best, but not too bad if this is all what there is to live on.
