Source for freeze-dried HUNKS of meat?

I have wondered the same thing. I've got a buddy that is found of that dinner too, but packit gourmet only sells chunked freeze dried chicken. It is one of the more expensive freeze dried meals out there, but if you can source the chicken it is ridiculously easy to replicate.

Reginald, I didn't find any listing for whole filets on the Provident Pantry link you posted there. Did I overlook something?

I am guessing that it is easier to freeze dry big chunks than it is to dehydrate them however the bigger the piece the longer it will take to re-hydrate, so maybe that is the reason why.

Whether it is freeze-dried or air dehydrated, small pieces of meat work a lot better than large pieces. When the pieces are all less than one centimeter across, you get a lot better consistency when rehydrated. You could do large pieces, like three centimeters, but you would end up with a lump that has a wet outside and a crunchy center.

If you really like your meat, then just use lots and lots of little pieces.

All that's generally true, fellas, but the freeze-dried, whole "rib filet" chicken hunks in the Mountain House meal rehydrate Very Nicely and are tasty, too. These are 4×5 inches, and 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. It's seriously a nice piece of instant food.

Anyway, after hunting around, I have exhausted my skills in the search. If someone finds or discerns who's making these, other than MH, it will be a nice find, for sure.

Call MH, they probably do it in house.
