Today i got a phone call from this company asking if i received my order. The fella was very nice, called me lovey lots, and I was able to discuss my concerns with the tvp. It was very informative he said they start with 4000kg of meat which is dehydrated down to 1100kg they add 17% tvp. The tvp is used to help the product keep its shape otherwise it would disintegrate into powder. The maths works out to about 0.006% tvp in a 125gm pouch of mince (thats what he told me anyway), maybe some one can check that. Might give it a try after all.

Hmm, less than 4:1 ratio.

Tried the mince last last night, we had the mild Thai curry. It wasn't too bad my 4 year old ate hers all up. I think I may have cooked it to fast and for too long. See pictures below of before and after. Attachments:

That looks pretty good and if the little one eats it all then that has to be a good thing. And after a few different ways of working it out then calling my brainiac son yep the maths adds up Rem.

I ended up with 6pkts of assorted meals, plus the 1kg of Dehydrated veggies and a 500g of sports drink in Lemon/Lime!
I cooked up each of the meals! Jinny like a couple of them but I thought they tasted false! (Like Shit was what I said..LOL)
The plain mince was OK.... So to have a high protein source I would buy 1 or 2 x 5kg bags of the plain mince to add to other food! for long term storage!
I felt that the ratio of TVP was greater that what they said! But again for LTS to add to other meals it should be fine!
The Vegetables are ok and we will get more to put away!
To be honest, I said we will can more meat and veggies, for LTS (Long Term Survival), so we are ordering 20-30 dozen more pint jars!
The sports drink was ok and I will get more for Re-hydration purposes!

lol. its the same with all dehydrated food. now you know how the astronauts feel!
but i believe mince should be good once mixed with other foods or fresh food to complement.
Wish I could order them! maybe the next time i visit Aust I will order some to be delivered to my hotel!
