Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:

If you're not adventurous enough to explore new things, then why are you sitting in the woods rehydrating food?

I absolutely love this meal and have had it dozens upon dozens of times. I suppose all these bad reviews are to be expected though, because it really doesn't taste anything like eggs... or.. bacon. It tastes like something you've never had before and will never find anywhere else! And it's delicious. I sometimes have cravings for this even at home. Or at work. Or at a dance club. Or in New Jersey.

I suppose the MSG could be partly to blame for how great this bizarre substance tastes, but there is more to it than just that, and it can only be understood by those who understand.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:

What can be said about this awful product. Well, it stinks, the bacon was bacon bits, gave me diarrhea, made my farts nasty, eggs where soggy and watery, taste like the the fast food chain egg patty but worse, made me upset, waste of money etc. I think the only use for this is to buy it for a present for a backpacker you don't like, or to trade it for anything else on the trail!

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:

This is the meal that convinced me to have no-cook breakfasts! Tasted fair the first trip, not-so good the second, and VILE the last time I had it.

It is messy to prepare as you must drain some of the water after the food rehydrates.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:

Most of the freeze dried foods are pretty tasty, but the eggs and bacon ones tend to tast a little funny and just aren't that great. This Mountain House one didn't prove to be much different.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:

The food is tasty for freeze-dried. Very simple to prepare. Most bottled-water comes in sizes that are perfect for preparation, and clean-up of this meal, about 16.5 oz. (enough water to make the eggs/bacon in the bag, and clean-up for my titanium spork). However, since I pack these meals primarily when I am backpacking, I am not recommending this for that as this meal does not contain much energy for the hike that may follow. However, if you are craving scrambled eggs and bacon, this one won't dissappoint.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:

I bought this meal before a 20 mile weekend trip, thinking this would be good when i woke up in the morning. From the package It looked like there was 2 bacon strips but, as it turned out it was chopped up and mixed with the eggs. All and all it was just nasty. Just get 3 CLIF bars and avoid chokeing it up on the trail.

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:

well, take whatever you know about scrambled eggs with bacon and throw it out the window or else you will be disappointed. Mountain House comes up with a whole new texture for these eggs. You have to realize that these were freeze dried; they're not going to be the scrambled eggs you remember growing up. Yes, they are a little spongy, but they don't taste bad. Yes, the bacon bits are small, but there are tons of them! I had these eggs two mornings in a row and I was very satisfied (despite the added MSG and tons-o-cholesterol). Not the healthiest breakfast out there, but hey, you're camping, you're going to burn it off anyway, right?

Comments about Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon - Single Serving:

Brought these along on a 3 day trip in Glacier NP based on other reviews. I thought the eggs were very bad - grainy, bad flavor, hard to swallow. I didn't even eat all of it and had to carry the leftovers with me for the next 12 miles or so.... very disapointed.
