Re: Munching my way through a full 2 cases of MREs - 2014

I'm confused, are Polo mints the UK version of Lifesavers? They look like the same thing in pictures, so I don't get the problem I guess. We don't have Polo mints in the states that I'm aware of, or at least not without heading to a specialty store/isle.

You really use the German word "Hinterland"?! It's not super common anymore, but most people would know it. We've got Uber now (pronounced oo-ber), but Americans only care about pronunciation if the word is Mexican in origin, not German. Like the street in San Antonio, Toepperwein, pronounced toppe...

Re: Erbswurst help!

Yeah, it's fun, but it's not really worth getting it shipped. The guy I bought it from sent me a bunch of gummy candies in the box though, that was cool. :) Maybe try splitting a larger order?

Re: review: AlpineAire Foods "14-Day Portable Food Pantry"

Here we use very meat-heavy meals, use a large amount of salt and condiments, but is requided to make a good deal of physical movement, so heart diseases are not very common. Personal,...

Re: Erbswurst help!

I couldn't find it in the US a few years ago when I was looking for it so I just ordered some off of ebay.de. I have some EPAs and it's not in them, but who knows what's changed in the last few years. It's good stuff though, worth buying even if you have to get it shipped from Germany, but the expir...
