Comments about Mountain House Sweet and Sour Pork with Rice - 2 Servings:

I was concerned about a sweet and sour pork from a freeze dried food vs. more standard pasta and rice fare. However, I was pleasantly surprised as this and the beef stroganoff were my favorites on a 2 week backpacking trip. The pineapple was sweet and a nice touch from the normal high sodium, saltiness.

Comments about Mountain House Sweet and Sour Pork with Rice - 2 Servings:

A group from my squadron took a trip up to the boundry waters and all we took with for our dinners was mountain house dehydrated meals. We're pretty big eaters so we thought, "Why don't we each get one bag per person for supper." Well, when it says serves two, it really does unless you're working your tail off all day long. We made camp the first day, didn't go in very deep and just stayed at that one location until our permit ran out, so we had some lazy days in there. This was by far my favorite and we ended up splitting meals so some other guys got to taste mine and they loved it. It really has a good taste, but you can always add a little less than two cups of water, sometimes these get a little soupy. There could have been more meat in it, but I understand that the amount of rice in there keeps it cheap, which is okay. If you like asian food this is a really good choice for you.

Comments about Mountain House Sweet and Sour Pork with Rice - 2 Servings:

A little heavy in the rice but tasty.
No thick gooey sauce and the pineapple is flavorful.
Even though it is a freeze dried product it is better than some restaurants.

Comments about Mountain House Sweet and Sour Pork with Rice - 2 Servings:

I bought this to try it out before I had to rely on it as a meal while camping. There is nothing worse than having a bad meal at the end of long day. I put in slightly more than two cups of boiling water. I stirred it up and let it sit in the pouch sealed up for 8 minutes per the package. This was fantastic and I would definitely look forward to eating this meal while backpacking or camping. Everything cooked up nicely and I did not have any crunchy bits. The flavor was very good too. I can't wait to try out more of the Mountain House meals.

Not quite what I was expecting. It was pretty good but didn't have that thick sweet and sour sauce. It's not my favorite but it's worthy of having just for variety.
