Wise Company - Prepared Meals

In the box

Today I prepared my sample of Wise Company Chili Macaroni.  Via USPS I received an entree meal, and a catalog.

I was a fan of Man Woman Wild; and during Doomsday Preppers I see Ruth Hawke, hawking Wise food during commercials.  She extols the quality - and seems lately every prepper featured has a couple of the familiar tubs showcased in the background.

After my sample of GoFoods! emergency meals I was excited to try out what I consider a big name in emergency rations.   My judging criteria remains: Would I rather eat an MRE?

In the Bag

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF):  Yes, I would rather eat an MRE from a taste and 'feeling satisfied in the portion size'.  Taste - well...quite honestly this tasted akin to a very old can of Chef Boy Ardee.       Flat flavours; I picked up tomato and the starch of the pasta - not much else. I used about a tablespoon of my favourite hot sauce (Trader Joe's) to make the meal interesting. Telling:  I asked my 11 year old if he could eat this in an emergency.  His reply was "Only if we have hot sauce in our bug out bag!"
