My point exactly. Why would I pay $6 plus $5 shipping and/or sales tax for a bag containing 121 grams of freeze dried 'turkey tetrazini" a concoction I would probably never eat at a restaurant anyway? They advertise it as two 270 calorie servings. Are you kidding me? In a survival situation, you would have to eat TEN of those meals (5 bags@$6 + shipping@$5 = $35) to reach the minimum daily calorie requirements for men. Maybe your wife could get by on only 4 bags...add $24 to the cost of this daily feast.

Assuming that you expect to get roughly half of your MDR from this meal you have dinner for two eaten out of a bag with a total of 2700 calories for for only $30.00!!!

How about this alternative from my food cache;

Byrd's Survival Turkey 'Tetrazini' for two

One can Turkey Spam, cubed.................$3.50
one can mixed vegetables...................$1.00
one pound cooked pasta, your choice........$0.75
dash each; salt, onion and garlic powder...$0.10
2 tablespoons olive (or any)oil............$0.75
Got canned mushrooms? Toss em in...........$0.75

Total calories..............................2600
Total cost for two......................$6.85

This meal is best presented with a green and orange garnish on a blue, fine-china plate lightly warmed, however an inverted Frisbee works good too.
