My 7 day pack (always in my SUV) contains 1 2400 cal mainstay per day and two of these, per day.

I'm trying to survive and endure...not concerned about enjoying my meals. I carry no "comfort foods": instead I use that space/weight for extra water.

Now my 30 day larder is a bit more concerned with variety and balanced nutrition. Not my 7 day pack.

Those Millenium bars look pretty decent, and they come in some cool flavors too. I'm not a big fan of Spam, I ate too much of that when I was growing up I guess.

Anyone have a link to the foil vacuum-packed Zatarain's stuff? I can find it online for some reason.

Here's an article* that states that all Zatarain's products are packaged in the same size pouch (5x6.5 inches with a 2 inch gusseted bottom), which is a paper/aluminum foil/vinyl laminate: http://www.southernpackaging.com/packdig2_news.pdf

I just pulled a (6.3 oz.) box of their New Orleans style rice pilaf out of my cabinet and found the pouch to be approx 75% full of product. It does appear to be lightly vacuum-packed, but not as tightly vacuumed as some bricks of coffee I've seen.

*...which, apparently, was not referring to these (Ready To Serve Complete): http://shop.zatarains.com/default.php?categories_id=1403

Those are awesome, I haven't seen those before. Now I've got to get some.
