FSR Italian
I rec'd order from Epicenter. I ordered several of all 4 different FSR pocket sandwiches. Date codes ranged from 8350 to 9014. Tryed the Italian. Smelled like MRE Spaghetti or Chili Mac. Could use a little more filling. The crust was somewhat like 2 wheat snack breads, mind-melded together, with the filling inside, but was more fluffier than snack breads. I give it a B+.

DD,
Hey it looks like you beat me to the taste test. This afternoon I tried the FSR Italian Pocket Sandwich myself. I was pretty surprised by it. Mine is dated January 2009, so that's fresh! I too got it from the Epicenter.
Mine was very soft and I did notice a bit of Italian flavour in it but not much. Supposedly, another fourm member commented on the dryness of the bread. Not the case here, mine was only a little dry and I didn't need that juice much to wash it down. The bread itself was much more softer than Wheat Snack Bread, which blew me away. Usually WSB is a little more tough, in my mind. The only thing that could be wrong is the overall taste. I noticed a bit of Italian zing and when looking at the filling it looked more like sloppy joe filling.
Hey kman, is this similar to what you had some time ago? Any resemblance to the FSR's you just bought?

Re: FSR Italian
Wow - looks like you guys got your orders from The Epicenter at the same time I did. I got mine on Saturday but haven't had a chance to try any of the sandwiches yet - they might be lunch today.
That Italian sandwich review looks like sounds just like the sandwich I tried last year - the bread was a little bit better than wheat snack bread and there could have been more filling. So I'd probably give it a B+ also...but considering you can keep the sandwich around for a few years without refridgeration, that does add some appeal.
Treesuit, unfortunately, I haven't bought any FSRs yet - just the Italian sandwiches I scored a while back.

Guys,
For a better taste experience try to Honey BBQ sandwhich. I had that one and it fared better than the other two taste tests.
