Hi guys,

that September I made some bike trip through the North East of Hessen, Germany ("Home" of "Blackhorse Regiment" 11th ACR in and 3rd AD "Spearhead" in Cold War").

One day as as snack I ate some MRE "CHERRY NUT CAKE" with DoP July 29, 1980, very fine as always , see the photos:













Here are some leftovers from the 1980ies US FTX found on the way:

Old ammunition box


Lowfat Milk


Vintage MRE pouch (packed by Cadillac Products). You can see, that MRE pouches "rot" over the years !


Rusted MCI can


Traces of tank tracks


Again traces of tank tracks


Chinook helicopter


So long mreheater72

All I can say is, "Tanks!"

(Soooo, how was the cake, eh?)

That does it - I have to eat one of my old Cherry Nut Cakes asap! Great pictures mreheater72 - I wonder what all else is still out there in the brush

Thanks for sharing. Theses cakes bring back lot´s of good memories...

The cake was very fine as always . Moist, dense, intensive taste as baked yesterday. As I mentioned before in my other "Nut Cake Reviews" here it seems that those cake never will get bad. I´m sure that they are still edible even 50 years after packaging! I will try this, I have some supply in my basement …

Yes Olli, the time where Nut Cakes were still in MREs was a very good time. Only good memories…

Yowie, I was three days on tour. All in all I drove about 240 km, some day 60 or 80 km, the other day about 100 km. The weather was great, also the landscape…

So long mreheater72

Wow that sounds like a great trip mate. The scenery does look great
