Note that these are large cans with 25-30 servings.

I must say that they have increased in price since I purchased mine. About 4x the price I paid in fact. That is what food shortages, lockdowns and plagues will do to the market!

I chose Mountain House because I have used their meals while back packing on numerous occasions and the flavor and quality has always been good.

To my knowledge Mountain House still supplies the emergency rations to some of the special forces types outside the normal MRE supply system. MRE do not have an extremely long storage life.

BTW I chose the ground beef because it is so versatile as a meat component and just a little will add flavor to many dishes.

I also bought my powdered eggs from MH but I do not see them on the inventory any longer.

As for drying meats, that must be done under steady conditions and slowly. Outside conditions influence it also, damp days, humidity and such.

It is actually so simple a cave man can do it, and did for a couple hundred thousand years. And they just sliced the meat thin (about 5mm) and dried it in the sun.

But probably not in England.

The climate and storage thing is why traditional English foods were so heavy on the root veggies, fermenting, salting, and pickling.
