Alerion 38 "Surprise!"
Chef 5-Minute Meals. They're smaller than Heater Meals so you'll need to supplement more, but they tasted better. Amazon has them.
Caveats:
1) I used them in the 2006 SH TransPac - things may have changed.
2) They include a lot of waste (plastic tray, the box, etc.) Not green.
3) "Better tasting" is relative - sort of like a hard hit on the head vs. a semi-hard hit on the head. Amazon sells them in the Gourmet Food section - that's a stretch.
They'd probably be okay for a LongPac but for another SHTP I'd either use some good backpacker stuff from REI (Mountain House sells a self-heating kit you can use with their meals) - or I'd learn to cook.
Enjoy!
Come to think of it, Mountain House meals with their self-heating kit is what I used in the 2011 LongPac. Pretty decent as I recall, and not having to use the stove that year was huge. More expensive but it's only 3 days' worth.
