1989 Menu 9 Meatballs, Beef and Rice in Tom Sauce

1989 Menu 9 Meatballs, Beef and Rice in Tom Sauce, that’s what the bag says 😁

Well, this one was really good. Had a chocolate covered cookie AND freeze-dried Fruit Mix.

The meatballs were weirdly dry but had good flavor as did the Tom Sauce. Nothing off at all, no tongue coating or numbness. Crackers and peanut butter were fantastic! The orange drink had the typical chemical taste but it was still drinkable.

The cookie was bad and that kinda sucks ‘cause I was really looking forward to it. They are always good, right? The cookie tasted EXACTLY the way the inside of the accessory packets smells 🤔 Anyone who has opened an accessory packet will know what I mean.

Freeze-dried fruit mix was AWESOME. The last one I opened was strawberrys and was VERY bad. I planned on reconstituting some but they were so good dry, I just ate them.

Thanks for looking.
