If you read the ingredients on this Entrée you will notice Okra is the first ingredient. Even as an experienced okra lover it was kinda in my face. People that don't care for okra may wish to shy away from this meal. For those of us who grew up between Natchez Mississippi and Bryan Texas without a lot to spare, this dish will take you home. I like to add a heaping teaspoon of Ghee (clarified butter, needs no refrigeration) for another 160 calories and some extra bird of some variety. Due to the nature of my childhood, as detailed above, literally any bird will do just fine. At 8000' and above plan on boiling this meal from 15 to 27 minutes, after 27 minutes in the package wrapped in a down vest, the rice was still a bit crunchy. I have yet to have a Good To-Go meal I did not enjoy and find repeatable.
