LYO Expedition Pork Loin in Green Peppercorn Sauce

Green Peppercorn sauce, yummy. Generous size. Pork bits were too hard and chewy - timed the soak and used just-off-the boil water then even wrapped in a puffy coat to keep warm for the time recommended, but still needed more. Would buy again though.

Well being ex British Army I have been brought up on 'wet' food boil in the bag style food and think they are best. However I have recently branched out to longer walks and treks and after reading lots of reviews on freeze dried pouches thought I would give them a go. The first thing you notice is the weight difference with the freeze dried pouch being much lighter. OK you have to have boiled water to re-hydrate it but add a Sawyer water purifier to your ruck and you're sorted. So the LYO expedition pork in green peppercorn sauce was one of many I chose for my last trip. It was in a word amazing. The pouch packed such a taste like I've never had in a pouched meal. The chunks of meat were very generous you could actually tell it was pork! The flavour was really good with a nice spicy heat. I am now a freeze dried convert. I would recommend some form of thermal outer pouch to hold the pouch while it re-hydrates to prevent it getting cold to quick and so you can hold it to eat it. I fashioned mine out off an old Amazon bubble wrap envelope and some fabric gaff tape! Freeze dried food rocks.
