2 x Meal Kit Supply
This week Mrs Housil and I drove down to Italy to meet Kman.
We made our 700km way over the Alp Mountains
The Swiss/Italian border on top of that mountain ahead
The border at 2.115Meter (7.000feet)
The lake and village of "Montespluga" up there
Elev. 1.908Meter
We drove around the lake at lunch time
and took a break

Re: 2 x Meal Kit Supply
Thanks to Kman, I got my hands on some Meal Kit Supply rations:
The civilian style (right) #5 "Penne w/ vegetables and sausage crumbles"
The MRE style (left) breakfast one #6 "Apple Maple Oatmeal"
The opened #5
First thing I noticed, the different FRH with instructions in four languages - even in German
The next different thing
Don´t put the meal inside but wrap the FRH around
While eating the well known fruit salad
I opened the #6 oatmeal ration
All items seemed familiar from the US MREs, except the FRH
Also heating the oatmeal dish next to the penne
on the snow
They worked very well even at this elevation and close to zero

Re: 2 x Meal Kit Supply
That´s the first time I had a WSB with that changed formula
It seemed more "fluffy" to me
I liked it!
The accessory packet
with coffee mate (!) and napkin
The #5 Penne w/ vegetables and sausage crumbles
Due to Mrs Housil, it was really delicious with a nice spice(y) taste
I know it´s a breakfast dish, but we eat continental so I had it for lunch
warm oatmeal
and maple muffin top
I really liked that oatmeal/maple dish. Very great taste, very filling

Great post!
That scenery is just fantastic, almost too good to be true
Were the heaters salt water activated or normal?

It´s more "fluffy" like a toast bread and a little more thick. Also the taste is slightly different - better if do you ask me. Not this sweet anymore
Re: 2 x Meal Kit Supply
I agree with Ms. Housil, the Penne w/ vegetables and sausage crumbles does have some kick.The #5 Penne w/ vegetables and sausage crumbles

Re: 2 x Meal Kit Supply
Great review and pics as always housil! Looks like a nice warm meal for a cold journey over the alps - probably a great deal better than what Hannibal's troops were eating a few thousand years ago
