Good portion, but not very exciting to eat. Functional if you are hungry. It just didn't live up to expectations.
Pros
- Big portion
- Rehydrated well
Cons
- Not spicy
- Not Italian sausage
- Not Italian sauce
- Excess packaging

Another mid-trip on-trail review, so please pardon the format.

This meal sounded good on the label, but was not very joyful in camp. Filled the belly, but not with happiness.
Instructions & Ingredients:

I tried using the EZ fill method and regretted it. Use the full 2 cups of water.

Dining Experience:

It looked and smelled promising when I opened the package.

After adding water and mixing I was looking forward to the eating part, but waited for it to soak.

Then upon digging in I found that the package was better than the dinner. The sausage was like breakfast meat, not spicy. The sauce was tomato and garlic but not Italian.
Test Conditions:
Somewhere on the Long Trail. I remember eating it but can't figure out where or when heh.
Conclusions:
Sounds good on the label but this is not a bag of joy. Definitely filling and not terrible, just boring. Also too much package for the product. I know companies want to be seen on the shelf but I don't want to carry their crap.
Bottom line from me on this one is you can eat it, but don't expect joy.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $8.95

I just tried their Kung Pao Chicken and it was horrid. No real flavor, and frankly it just didn't taste good. Alpenaire has been (for me) rather hit or miss with their meals. But thanks John for this review. Another one to pass up.
