We were talking about "freeze dried ice cream" before ->here<-.
Today we did a trip into the "Spessart" national park. It was the hottest day of the year with 35°C (100F)
So nothing say´s more, give that freeze dried ice cream I have a try.
MH Neapolitan Ice Cream
Another inner package
Too bad it broke into pieces
The texture
So how was it?
First to say - not cold.
It felt in your month like you chew very sturdy styrophone.
It tasted great, like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream.

Ahh yes, I remember having one of the "Astronaut" Ice Cream Sandwiches... If you go in with the expectation of ice cream, you will be sorely disappointed.

Yes, they are kind of weird but tasty. You can get them at your local wallyworld.

I have always had a sweet spot for this freeze dried ice cream! I think its really cool that the Military decided to include the freeze dried ice cream sandwich in the newer MCW's.

I like these
They are always broken, but always good.
The strawberries are also very good in FD form.

housil,
I've enjoyed and followed your posts here for years. Where in the Smoky Mountains will you be visiting? I go there about twice a year to hike with my son. That's what got me interested in MREs. We use them for shorter hikes, resorting to Mountain House freeze dried food when we're in the back country longer than overnight. I hope you enjoy your visit this fall.

Housil: when you go to the Great Smoky Park, if you possibly can, you need to go drive thru the area at the west end called "Cades Cove".
It is a loop road through a hanging valley and will remind you exactly of Bavaria! Simply beautiful.
Unfortunately, it is the opposite side [Tennesee] from Bryson City. You would need to go over the crest road toward Gatlinburg... But it is well worth your while.
Regardless, GSNP is something you will enjoy no matter what you do!
