Thanks to DudeMan for letting me buy a few of these Brown Bag MREs! I do not understand date codes, so I couldn't tell you exact dates, but as I understand it these are from 93-94?
My first brown bag was beef frankfurters!
The frankfurters were just fine, just like store bought cocktail wieners. No foul smell, taste was good. Very artificial, but completely edible, I added the tobasco, which makes everything better.
I had potato sticks!
I haven't had these in years! They were crispy, salty, just what the doctor ordered, and good flavor.
Crackers!
I haven't tried the crackers with peanut butter yet, I will have them tomorrow with coffee.
Cocoa beverage powder
I will have this another time, and will let you know how it is.
Accessory packet
Plus a Mars bar and Chicklets!!!
I personally haven't had chicklets in at least a decade. They were just as I remember, delicious, chewy, made my mouth fresh. The mars chocolate, was delicious. I thought this was a mars candy bar, but this was just chocolate, and dammit, it is gooood.
Main course with potato sticks
The beef frnkfurters were very salty, and the texture was tube meat, but as I said, completely edible, made better with tobasco sauce. The crispy potato chips made it much better. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of both.
Peaches!
I've never had these types of peaches before! and they were delicious!
FRH
This type of FRH works faster, stronger, better than any of the modern FRH I've tried in US mres. They start chugging along in 15 seconds, and go for a minimum of 10 minutes. I was kind of surprised, because I think the modern US frh's, granted I've only had about 5 different MREs, pretty much were all fails.
