Wow that menu actually looks pretty decent, is it anything like the 1994 Ham slice?
Think it would be great on a cracker or two:)
The 1994 one was really Firm and hard to eat, is this one like that too?

And was the Peaches like bubblegum? The freeze dried Strawberries i had was kinda like bubblegum.
Curious on how they can be edible still when they get moist, would think they would be bad.

The early 80's ham is VASTLY superior to the late 80's-early 90's version. Way less formed, just tastes more authentic, best meat I've had in an MRE IMO.
