I've eaten Mountain House stuff before, not that particular "package" of meals though. IMHO MH has a bit too much salt in its meals. Purely personal taste there.

Worst things about this stuff on a bike tour are the extra weight of the packaging and having to carry all the necessary water (or be at a place that has fresh water to use to reconstitute the meal).

Also, I think it's a bit pricey - $54/12meals=$4.50/meal Again, totally a personal perspective.

Edit to add: You might want to check the nutritional values for each package. I'm not sure there would be enough calories for me on a bike tour. Ex. The Beef Stroganoff has 2.5 servings of 250 cal per serving in a single package. On a 60-80 mile day, I'm figuring that I'll burn over 5000 cal easily.
YMMV
