Continuing with the emergency food reviews, we tried Chocolate Strawberry Crunch from Mountain House over the weekend. This was chocolate pudding with dehydrated diced strawberries and toffee crumbs.
Prep: Open main bag, separate ingredient pouches, open pudding mix pouch, pour pudding mix into main bag, add cold water, stir. Wait. Add diced strawberries. Stir. Pour toffee crumbs on top. Serve. As usual, Mountain House desserts make four servings, while the entrees make two - go figure.
Consumption: Meh. It's instant chocolate pudding. With dried fruit. And crunchy bits. I applaud the attempt and am always glad to see variety in this sort of thing, but it's nothing special or spectacular. We didn't finish the pouch.
Verdict:
Two of five titanium sporks. This was an adequate dessert item with no outstanding features, positive or negative. I'm tempted to dock it half a spork for greater-than-usual mess factor, which I consider a downside for food intended to be consumed while roughing it.
