Freeze Dried Food Taste Test: PEAK REFUEL Edition!

All right, here we are with the highly anticipated round two of our free dried meal taste test. This is the pee-free fuel edition. It is not highly anticipated by us, just by people who want to see. And by the way, we made, we got it backwards last time. We said if you don't like them here, you're not going to like them on the mountain. If they're decent here, they're going to be amazing on the mountain. I'm like, this is just a Thursday here at the best way to do this is to figure out how you feel tomorrow after right now. Very good point. So pee-free fuel. Here we go. Rules again. If you guys didn't see the other video, be sure to check it out. That was the mountain house one. This is the pee-free fuel one. So one or two spoonfuls each. Renzo, pound the whole bag. I didn't eat last time. One, two spoonfuls. You know, let it sit in your mouth a little bit. Taste it. So the palette tells you what the score should be. Drop the score of one through 10. Average amount. See who the winner is at the end. Can we predict? Well, yeah. First of all, I'll announce them on here if you haven't seen it. So chicken Alfredo pasta. We have beef stroganoff, strawberry canola, chicken pesto pasta, and sweet pork and rice. So predictions. I predict my least favorite is the Renzo's favorite, the sweet pork. I've heard it's super sugary. It is. I haven't had it yet. It's definitely going to skew the results of this, but on the mountain, when everything is bland and you're like day seven and all you want is a good meal. Okay. All right. Now I will tell you, I did have this in Wyoming a couple of times and it was amazing. The chicken pesto. Mine is always like beef stroganoff. That creaminess. Okay. And once again, I just want to, you know, re-mention that these are the top five selling pee-free fuels. These are the ones that you all really love. Yes. Let's go. All right. Jump into it. Chicken Alfredo pasta. Okay. We're getting Renzo's on. Do you want your own? No, I do not want my own. Last time I didn't eat before, this time I do. Were these cooked better than Neville's? Yeah. Indoor Jill, did she cook these? Indoor Jill, this is cooked pretty good. This is cooked pretty good. Um, one thing that is absolutely amazing is how the amount of water these things need. Yeah. It should be noted. It's a lot less. Way less. Most of them we had in Wyoming. It was like 5.3 ounces. Yeah. It's way less than a mountain house. Oh wow. I really love these ones. Never had this one. Creamy sauce. Good. Super good. Yeah. I might go one more. I'm going to go three Pleasantly surprised. It's uh, tastes pretty clean. It's light. Very good. Copying Porter. I'm going seven. It's just a solid. It's very solid. It's actually really flavorful. I don't know. It is hard to, it is hard to grade the first one though, but this is, I mean, that was solid. I also don't think it needs anything added to it. Like if you're out there like, oh, it needs pepper, it needs hot sauce. It's like really good flavor If I could add hot sauce to that. Yeah. Oh, Brady's favorite. Beef Stroke. This is a common classic though. For sure. I feel like uh, we're Brady's wife. We're on like a date here. We're getting his best one. This one again, cooked perfectly by Indoor Jill. Much better than Neville. I don't know. Is there enough water in this thing? Hers over here looks a little dry. I might go with Lorenzo. I don't know Indoor Jill. I don't know about that one. That's rich. I like it. And I know why, because the second ingredient is sour cream and you can taste it. Oh, you can't. I love sour cream. You can't taste it. You can taste that really good. I'm actually, what I'm most surprised about, cause I've had that one before. What I'm most surprised about is how much I like it on just a normal Thursday in the office. I'm going two. I did not like it. Way too rich for me. Way too rich for me. I do not like it. Is this thing real? I was very surprised. This chicken alfredo is 10x better. I don't know if I love beef stroke enough, but I'm also getting a lower score than I thought I was going to give it. Really? This is one I was highly anticipated about. I've never had this one before. It just, whoa. I like it. Oh gosh. It was really good. Don't make me feel crazy, but I think it needed more creaminess to it. I give you that. More cream. Richness. Like it's really kind of dry. Oh, I don't know if I like more water would do it. Cause I both sour cream and heavy cream are the number two and three ingredients. How is that? No, I just need like more of it. It's not, it just tastes kind of, I like it. I'm with Lorenzo. It's plenty rich enough. I don't want the richness. I just want more of the creaminess. Let me ask you a question though. Beef Stroke, Mountain House versus Peak Refuel. What do you, where do you go? This one has so much more flavor. No, I don't get Mountain House all the way. This one has way more flavor than the Mountain House one. I'm going to say you might need to take the two, the same ones that they both make and just That'll be round three. Cause we'll have to go back to back. I don't know why we did that to ourselves. Okay. Up next. Strawberry granola. I've never been a fan of the breakfast ones. Like the real, like the real granola. Is there like milk in this thing? What is this? It's cold. Is it supposed to be cold? Non-fat powdered milk is the last ingredient. Oh, I feel like I'm going to like this. You would like this. It's like a yogurt parfait. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Don't let the coldness affect it. Cause it should be a lot harder than this. I think you want it to be cold. Maybe. That Southern California is coming out. For sure. Do you like yogurt parfaits at like Starbucks? No, it tastes just like that. No, I don't. I'm just going to start this one off. Oh, why don't you do that? Cause I do think I'm going to eat this and I'm going to be like, Hey, where's my meat? Where's my, you know? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I'm feeling this. I don't think I could have this one at the dinner. No, but breakfast. Yeah. If you want to actually pack It's a luxury, not a necessity. It's not giving you what you need, but on the mountain, you're cold or something. That tastes good. I'm not a breakfast eater on the mountain. Cause you sleep, you eat something real quick. I usually eat like a bar, tortilla with peanut butter or something just real quick and go. I don't really see a need for this. I would agree with that. The consistency of the freeze dried fruit. Now that it's like soggy. I did not like it. That was the one interesting thing too. It's called strawberry granola. You know, looking at the ingredients, strawberry is the last item on the ingredients. So if it's going to be strawberry granola, I want, you know, more strawberries. There's a lot of strawberries. I mean, I just don't like the consistency of the strawberries. That was they're weird. They're weird, bro. I will tell you last ingredient, final remarks. In my opinion, super tasty, but I'm with Lorenzo. I don't know what need it really fits. Tasty for me though. I'm giving it a six. I'm not real tasty. I did not like the strawberries. I'm not from Southern California. I'm not a big granola fan. All right. I'm interested in this one a lot. Bomb chicken, let me just get my score ready. Oh gosh. One interesting thing. I know it doesn't seem like there's as much food in here. There's not that much food though. This is pretty small. It's more of a higher calorie. Yes. The highest calorie meal. Right. Gosh, this is so good. So good. I love pesto though. Pesto is good. Yeah. I do like pesto. And pesto is the first ingredient on this go round. This is the best freeze dried meal that I've ever had. 920 calories from one of those. Yeah. That's impressive for like the little bit of food that looks like is in there. And to go back through it, like chicken alfredo, 690. Oh yeah. Pistachio, 810. Granola, we know it's going to be a little less. 530. Oh, 920. And then sweet pork and rice, 750. That's a lot. 920 is a lot. You going for more? So good. This one is like, I could have this for daily. That was pretty good for sure. I've never had that one either. That is, that's pretty good. If you like pesto, guaranteed lock winner, winner, chicken dinner. 10. Come on, Lorenzo. I'm not letting you guys. Lorenzo, come on. Seven. Solid. It was very good. Okay. Hold on. We're going to have a conversation about this. You're telling me that that is lower score than this. No, I gave that seven as well. I thought you gave this an eight. No, I did. That is really good though. Because I like sour cream. You voted this ----. I like Mexican food. I like sour cream. Sour cream is the second ingredient. I can taste it. I liked it. Make me feel crazy. The guy gives, it gives it a two. Makes me feel crazy. This is disgusting. And you're definitely not hunting the next day here. Please. This makes me excited to get back to camp to eat this. This is really good. I don't know why seven's such a bad score. It's really good. I don't know why I didn't bring like 14 of those next time. They are so good. I add hot sauce to like everything. You can easily add it to beef stroganoff and don't see how hot sauce would work in the pesto. This is tastier to eat. Oh yeah. For sure. That makes me go crazy. Gives it a two. It was terrible. Going back in? I'm going back in. I'm going to join you on that one. I just want one more. So good. All right. Last one boys. Need to cleanse your palate. Oh, you shouldn't go right in. Just the smell right here. I'm a huge fan of chicken teriyaki or like anything teriyaki. We have to be careful with Laurent's recommendation here because he also recommended to me one time in Colorado, the sweet pork mountain house. It was disgusting. So I didn't want to just. I'm a fan. Kind of smells like a Thanksgiving dinner. You can smell that sugar, man. What is this mush? I really like this one though. When I was in Utah on that shred work, I'm a last year hunt in Utah. I did bring this one up there and like I had so many spoonfuls cause there's a lot of food. Yeah. So you actually, I feel like you're eating a lot more. No, it's like you look at 117 grams of sugar. God, I don't think I consumed that in a whole week. Well, okay. What's there's that or the chicken Alfredo pasta has 33 grams of fat. There's 117 grams of sugar. Yeah, man. It's dinner and dessert. Why is that a bad thing? Oh my gosh. We agree on a lot in life. Maybe foods is not it. Quattro. This is getting a four. Four. This is not good. This is not good. What's around this? Oh, seven. I thought you're going 10. Okay. No, it's really good. And at times it's exactly what you want on the mountain, but I'd never have had the beef stroganoff before. That one's my favorite. So right now we have a tie after going through the results of third and fourth place, beef stroganoff and sweet pork and rice got exactly the same score. So we can't let that happen. We have to debate this a little bit. Well, let's put these in order. So these chicken, chicken, pesto clear. Number one, right? One. This is clear. Number two, right? And then we got, and that's clear last. So then we got inside of third and fourth. Well, we know where I'm going to go be stroganoff as well. And just purely based off of what you get in the bag, you're getting a lot of stroganoff. It's better quality food, more calories, more calories, less sugar. It's way better. I would agree as well. So yeah, I think that's an easy one. Beef stroganoff over sweet pork and rice. The sugar is 117 grams. Like how many grams is in like a cookie? Can we Google that? So you got 117. Can we go to the judges? We have them in here. Well, that's like the little, all right. What do you guys think? How many grams of sugars in these Oreos? The whole pack? Well, I mean, we can see it. Oh my God. We're going to be sick from what we just ate. This pack of Oreos has 18 grams of sugar. That has 117 grams of sugar. Why do they need that much sugar in that thing? Because it's good for you. That's a bunch. That's insane. Brown sugar glaze. Here's what they call it. Sugar, brown sugar, molasses, apple cider vinegar, butter, butter. I'd rather have the, I would definitely rather have the strawberry canola over that. I wouldn't. You wouldn't? No. Come on SoCal. This is food. This is fun. I mean, that's definitely fun, but holy cow. I mean, after going through all this and the Mountain Hustle before, I kind of feel like there's a 50-50 ratio of taking Mountain Hustle and taking Peeker Fuels. Peeker Fuels, I love it. Less water. We all know that. Some of the flavors are bomb. I'm always going to bring in biscuits and gravy. That's not changing. Never. What I'm interested in doing though, what I would like to for my, what I like as far as taste goes, is the sweet pork and rice compared to the teriyaki chicken in Mountain Hustle. Do you like a sweet sweet? I still just got to wait and see how you feel tomorrow after we ate all these. Yeah, that's always a question. It was interesting though to try them right now. Last time, did I feel like that because of chili mac and beef or did I feel like that because of the breakfast one? Or eat because of me. Or because I ate all of every single bite. So that is the wrap-up of our freeze-dried meal taste test, Peeker Fuel edition. Porter's still going to eat his number one favorite, chicken pesto pasta. Yeah, basically right now we have first through last and hope you guys enjoyed the video. Definitely drop us comments down below what your favorite Peeker Fuel is. I'm happy to do another one of these too, maybe compare exact things of like beef stroganoff. We need to go back-to-back bites Mountain House Peeker Fuel. Yeah, that'd be really good to do for our third one. But if you have any other suggestions, let us know. We appreciate you guys checking out the video.
