1997 Chicken patty!

Post by Enchilada » Wed Aug 08, 2007 7:39 pm

Had this yesterday,
you know what?
It was ten years old but it was as good as new.
The only spoiler was the apple jelly, which had leaked a little, hence the inside had turned bad.
The chicken was ok, the mexican rice was better then any I can remember.
Even the coffee was still fresh!
Very good surprise.

Yeah, 1997 isn't too bad - that's only ten years. I might have to break out some of my 1992 MREs to see how they've held up after 15 years.

You have to come to Germany :wink:

The FSR were issued at May for the US-troops in GER.

Soldiers in Germany recently tested out a new individual assault ration and a new no-fuss group ration big enough to feed two squads.[/i]
