As many of you know I am dehydrating most of my meals from  here on out.  
Yet today I swung by my local outfitter (Wildware) to  some sock liners, a 
trail 
guide and 
an MSR miniworks maintenance  kit.  (you know, just the necessities).   And 
on 
the wall  they had all these single dehydrated meals and I looked at them 
with 
some  skepticism and held on to my wallet as I looked.  For $3.49, yes $3.49, 
 
was the price of each of the meals!!  The name of the company who  makes them 
is called Enertia Trail Foods out of Ohio,   http://www.trailfoods.com,

I picked up a package to check it out  and I thought I would share this with 
you all in the event someone would  be interested.  Keep in mind that these 
are NOT freeze dried so a  little more soaking time may be required... but 
they 
have an abundant  selection.  I could not resist sharing here what I found... 
Hope it  helps someone out there.

There are many good choices out there.
 
My choice was Ramen noodles, 6 for $1.00... Hear your wallet smile!  :-)
I ate a few types of freeze dried meals, some were pretty good, but I  always
fell back on Ramen noodles, because I really liked them, and they were  light 
& cheap. If you are not a picky eater (I'm not), you will be amazed at  how 
often 
you can eat Ramen noodles, as long as you keep changing what you mix in 
with them, or eat with them (Chicken, Turkey, Ham, pepperoni, slim Jims,  
Jerkey,
etc., etc., etc.. If you are a picky eater, forget it. I've read some books  
where people 
have cursed out Ramen noodles. I was surprised to see some of them made it,  
if
all it took was Ramen noodles to piss them off... LOL! 
 
I'll have to try some Enertia products to see how they would be on short  
hikes.
 
Thanks.
