Notes: After having breakfast fried rice at a company picnic over a decade ago, I have been a fan. The salty hint of SPAM mixed with the egg and veggies made for a delicious way to start a day. I was very excited when I received an email from Mountain House announcing this new addition to their food lineup. I was so excited I missed the part where it said it was made with turkey sausage. Upon receiving the meal I decided it would be wise to pick up a SPAM slice just in case the turkey sausage left things lacking. I was very glad it did as the little SPAM bits I added the final few minutes to allow them to heat slightly really set things off from a flavor and texture meal. Overall it is an ok meal but the frequent crunchy bits left and general lack of flavor (before the SPAM) left me wanting more. Cheers!
May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey. Cheers!
