Mountain house I have tried. Probably about 6 different Mountain House meals. Out of the 6 I would say that 3 were delicious and 3 were awfull, oddly enough. Now I basically buy the stroganoff or lasagna all the time. So I guess with Mountain House it just depends which meals you buy and what your tastes are like. They are all very easy to prepare. Just add boiling water and let stand a few minutes. That's about as easy as it gets.
