I had to season it a bit, but it’s edible; it’s not bad, so as emergency food—light for luggage and easier to prepare anywhere—I can recommend it, although it’s not really a can full of meat :) I prefer cans from EdRed or Moja Pucha, but it does the job. Still, it’s always a fairly nourishing and warm meal, and it doesn’t weigh as much as cans.

The dish is very tasty and nutritious. The portion is just right for one person. The freeze-dried form does require boiling water, but on the other hand, before rehydration the meal is light and does not weigh down your gear too much. I recommend it.
-
More portions ordered for запас, very sweet but tasty and super nourishing. These carbohydrates really do the job. Great for breakfast or a sweet supper. I recommend it!
-
Excellent breakfast, easy to eat even if you're not used to having breakfast. These are good carbohydrates that energize you for a good start to the day. I recommend it, although it's definitely too expensive.
-
The taste is completely fine. After a real effort it will taste good anyway. The price is reasonable. The portion is just right, especially if you top it off with crackers. In other words, it’s exactly what you need.
-
Tasty, good, nutritious. The price is acceptable when on sale. It's a pity that the range of freeze-dried meals with fish is limited. For me, the biggest advantage is that after eating you don't have to wash any pots!
-
The food has an average taste, but it works well during trips or camping. The portion is filling, and preparation is quick and convenient even outdoors. The order arrived without any problems, and the product was as described.
-
This goulash is a proven way to quickly regain strength after exercise. The creamy sauce and tender pieces of meat give a real feeling of warmth, and the portion of calories is just right for long hikes.
-
A good, practical meal for trips and outdoor activities. Preparation is very simple and quick – just pour boiling water over it and wait a few minutes. The portion is filling given its weight, and the taste is surprisingly good for freeze-dried food. It's especially useful when convenience and calories matter in the outdoors.
-
Small, lightweight packaging, quick and easy to prepare, but the food is tasty, a hot meal lifts morale, it's good to have some in reserve, Adventure Food company is a big plus.
-
I bought it because of the price and it was rather a poor choice. The food is bland, even for a freeze-dried meal. It's probably better to add a few zlotys and choose the competition. Lyofood offers definitely better quality at a similar price.
-
I bought the Salmon Pasta version, the salmon is more for flavor... but the dish itself is tasty. With the addition of crackers, it can be eaten as dinner or breakfast.
-
I buy Mexican quinoa for my vegetarian girlfriend, she is satisfied and eats it with pleasure. Add a few crackers and you can have a filling meal. I have been ordering their products for a long time.
-
Quite tasty. A portion that's hard to get full from, but just right for temporarily satisfying hunger. After adding water, you need to mix well so that no powder remains at the bottom. Worth it.
-
It tastes good and is a bit cheaper than the competition. You have to remember to mix well after pouring. And in my opinion, you need a bit more water than what is written.
