The Cherry Nut Cake went great, so why not?
the bag it came in.
looks good, right out the bag
tastes super good
chocolate flavor is strong, and it's very sweet!

If you have a few more of those nut cakes and want to work a trade shoot me a PM. I have not had one of those since about '98. To me these rank right up there with the chocolate covered oatmeal cookies as the best ALL time MRE snacks!

Sadly, I don't have anymore, but if I find another one that I've tried, I'll shoot you a PM!

I´m surprised that these nut cakes don´t get rancid.

Re: TASTE TEST: 1991 Chocolate Nut Cake
Cool review, Elevatorfan73!
Those nut-cakes are oddly indestructible! Now, I've had a couple rancid ones - but I also live in Florida where the heat temps run up to 100 degrees sometimes in the year and those bad ones I'd gotten were all bought locally (in this terrible fluctuating heat).
As for the ones I've gotten in the mail from northern climates, I've found them to always still be 'fresh'!
I'd saved my last 10 of them or so and sent to mreheater72 (still waiting for that packaged to be found.. USPS is a nightmare!
) but I still have a chocolate nut-cake from 1991 and a fruit-cake from 86' (If I remember correctly).
Such an incredible snack. It, and the chocolate covered cookie are some of the most Godly of old-school MRE desserts!
I have maybe 8 or 9 oatmeal cookie, chocolate covered left - scored big on some odd mid-90's civilian MRE's at a show called Webster here in FL. I'll have to round them all up and see if I can send off a couple as "novelty gifts" lol.. just send me PM fellas I'll send em' along with this darn package that keeps accumulating in size by adding new things to Rulerak - hehe once he gets this thing he'll feel it was worth the wait. (good lord almost a whole year.. gee I'm terrible).
