1996 Menu 9 - Pork Chow Mein
Posted: Tue Mar 07, 2017 1:37 pm
This is the last 1996 MRE I'll review - I'm saving the 4th - Menu 10, the Chili with Macaroni - as a collectible.
The menu:
Pork Chow Mein
Chow Mein Noodles
Choc Covered Cookie
Peanut Butter
Candy (3)
Beverage Base w/sugar
Packet A - coffee
cream sub
sugar
salt
gum
matches
tissue
towelette
The creamer had hardened, and in what I'm noting is a running trend among 20-21 year old rations, the Tabasco bottle was intact, but the sauce had darkened.
The beverage base this time was lemon-lime. I opened it in the hopes of trying it, but it was clumpy and clearly discolored, so I decided against it.
The crackers and peanut butter didn't let me down, however. The crackers still had the slightly rancid taste, but it wasn't too strong to spoil my enjoyment of the peanut butter.
