Texture: The large veggie chunks rehydrated wonderfully and the rice is a smooth but still slightly toothy texture.

Overall Score: Buy. This is a top 5 meal for me.

Notes: I wish I could remember who it was online that told me the Peak Refuel Homestyle Chicken and Rice was one of their favorite all time meals. I had tried the Mountain House version and although it was good it lacked the depth of flavor I want when out backpacking. All this Peak Refuel meal took to go from great to amazing was a small pinch of salt and a teaspoon of black pepper. I am always amazed at how well the large veggies rehydrate and how great they taste. This is a meal worth keeping in your backpack. Cheers!

May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey. Cheers!
