I’ve sampled the meals and it does taste good. It’s not gourmet but solid comfort food that will get you thru a challenging situation

we have numerous items from this company, good deal for what you are getting. keep around six of these pails in different types in case we need emergency food, we also buy some products to use on a monthly basis, all good product, would highly reccommend

FINALLY got around to trying this bucket. I’d owned three of them for years, but decided to check them out.Like other Augason stuff, the pouches are large and you may need to reseal unused portions. I decided to try the mac & cheese, stroganoff, and chicken rice.Stroganoff was, even measuring carefully, very salty. Not terrible, but you might want to use slightly less of the powdered sauce mix than in the instructions.Chicken flavored rice was pretty dang good, although it took longest to cook on all of them.Mac & cheese was the real winner, tasted just like the regular stuff you’d make at home or buy at a deli.Nutritionally, these variety buckets aren’t as rounded out as they could be, and heavy on sodium and carbs, but in a disaster or emergency situation, they’re not a bad choice for the average prepper. Would definitely go a long way keeping you out of starvation if something really bad happened.

I loved most everything about this. It is well packaged for extended storage. There is an oxygen absorber inside the food packet to ensure that it lasts the 25 years that it claims. I did try the Creamy Stroganoff and it was pretty good. The small pieces of chicken were slightly on the rubbery side, but not enough to make me not want to eat it. I’m pretty sure that the video I watched for this product stated that you can use hot or cold water to prepare it. I don’t think that is necessary true. The stroganoff required 20 minutes of cooking in boiling water. Since it was uncooked noodles, I can’t imagine that it would work with just soaking in cold water. My only real complaint is that the lid was very hard to remove. Even with the Augason Farms tool for lids, I still damaged the lid trying to get it open. Perhaps I ordered the wrong tool, but still the lid is now damaged and I cannot put it back on. It was a tool advertised as being made by Augason Farms for opening their containers, so I was really disappointed. Still, I give this product high marks because I do believe that it works they way they claim for being an emergency food supply that has a 25-year shelf life. The packet that I did try was very good, so I think I made a wise investment for future emergency use.
