I had a self-heating meal recently. I'm not sure if it was this make or not, as it came out of an assorted caterers pack of a hundred or so, but I have to say, it was delicious, and definitely filled the gap in my tummy. I have spent a lot of time in the past humping food around the hills, and I find food that resembles a meal personally much more enjoyable in the evening than living off energy bars, especially in winter. The best thing about the self-heating things is that you don't have to huddle in your tent cooking for ages, and the food isn't served up spinkled with grass and meths. And there's usually loads of left-over wrappings and uneaten food to carry out using traditional food anyway.
