exp. date 08/08
this one looked interesting so i decided to review it
I Do Not Have a digital cam so this review will not be as good as kmans
I will try to be more descriptive to give you a better idea
This case comes from wornick..date of mf is 5277
About Sept of 2005
This is the 1st full mre meal that i have tried
I prepared it the same way as soldiers in the field might do
Contents:
1- outer brown bag..no date stamp
1- beef patty in cardboard box--2.8 oz
1- mexican style macaroni in cardboard box--5 oz
1- Cheese n Bacon spread pouch
1- BBq Sauce spread pouch
2- wheat snack breads
1- nacho cheeze pretzels
1- beef snack strip--beef jerky
1- long brown spoon
1- hot beverage pouch
1- condiment pack--
iced tea/lemon flavored
moist towelette
tiny bottle tobasco sauce
chewing gum,salt,matches,tp
Pulled The Pouches from the cardboard boxes
I Noticed that the main entree(beef Patty) is only a little over 1/8 pound
--2.3 oz as most other entrees are 1/2 pound--8 oz
Inserted them into the heater..added the water
Damm..That Thing Is QUICK..Gets Hot as hell right now
Throw it into the cardboard box..squeezed in the bbq n cheese pouches
Looking at what lay before me i decided to make a hamburger
After heating the 2-main pouches and cheese,bbq sauce
I Sandwiched the beef patty between the the 2 wheat snack breads
using the bbq sauce.
What to do with the cheese??
After tasting the mex mac n cheese i added half of the cheese spread
to the macaroni and the other half to the hamburger
the mac still needed something..so i added half the tobasco to it
that did the trick
the macaroni when fortified with the cheese n hot sauce is quite good
the hamburger could benefit from some mayo,mustard,pickles,ect
the frh heater is too small to make the tea hot using the hot bev. bag
the nacho cheese pretzels are tasty
the beef jerky is bulls..tastes ok
Overall rating:
fair
IMHO:
dump the pretzels n beef jerkey
put in a sweet snack or fruit
dump the tea
replace it with a dairy shake or other drink
add mustard/mayo/ect in small packs
Possibly add a second frh
Well thats my first full mre meal
