      Comments about Mary Janes Farm Organic Mac 'n Cheese:

      I actually saved this meal for the last night of a 9-day backpack leading to the Mt Whitney summit, thinking there could never be anything better than mac and cheese on the trail. Wow, was I wrong. This had absolutely no flavor. I am not a finicky eater, but even I had to convince my hiking partner to add several spoonfuls of his bean chili meal (of another brand) to make it palatable.

      Comments about Mary Janes Farm Organic Mac 'n Cheese:

      This product is 100% awful... Reading the reviews that praise this meal actually makes me angry... I prepared this on the trail twice (should have tried it first)... both times, some of the noodles remained hard, and the cheese "sauce" has no flavor... if you pack this, bring some salt and pepper... the price tag is no short of an insult... just one man's opinion... peace

      My worst backcountry meal

          Comments about Mary Janes Farm Organic Mac 'n Cheese:

          After a 12 hour Mt Adams climb (camp to summit and summit to camp), I prepared this meal expecting to consume a basic mac 'n cheese dinner.

          The noodles were chewy and lacked taste but it was the awful cheese mix (which lacked resemblance to any cheese I've ever eaten) that makes me rank this my worst backcountry meal.

          Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

                Comments about Mary Janes Farm Organic Mac 'n Cheese:

                "Caution Yellow" was the color of this otherwise insipid entree. Are they trying to jazz it up or just warn us. The sticky "cheese" substance was hard to clean off of the bowl. This rates as one of the worst F-D meals of 18 years of backpacking. Evidently one can go wrong with mac and cheese.

                Comments about Mary Janes Farm Organic Mac 'n Cheese:

                This was the first Mary Jane's Farms backpacking meal I have tried, and it is still one of my favorites. Classic Mac & Cheese can't go wrong!
                My only suggestion is to make sure you cook it the full 10+ minutes or else the pasta will be chewy.
                Also, some ground black pepper is a nice spice to add, as with all Mac & Cheese.
                Yum!

                Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
