Canadian #6 2010 Meatballs

[housil]

Today for dinner something special, a 2010 Canadian IMP #6

opened

and spread out on the counter

I started with the soup

on a plate for better display, not in a cup/mug

175ml of boiling water. As much as I like the idea of a soup, to me it´s impractical to boil water just to get a soup...

the soup was "OK", not very salty but just "OK".

the entree

the pouch to heat in hot water

I was too curious about this

open the sachet and pour boiling water in up to the filling line. Stir...

Taraaaa...

The meatball and the mashed potatoes on the plate

The mashed potatoes was great, just add a dash of salt. Why does the instruction recommend to add tea?!?! The mashed potatoes had a slightly "sweet" taste I really liked!
Too bad that filling line was way to less water, note there is still powder.

The meatballs were great in texture and taste!

It was too much food to me, I didn´t finish my plate

Dessert was a "date square" (i had to google for)

Ah, I see. It´s a (very "fat") cake

I don´t know how the home made version suppose to taste like

but that one was "rich" but didn´t had a specific taste.

That gravy/sauce looks pretty good.

Did this ration have any powder drink mixes in it?

[housil]

Ja, it has one (I didn´t have yet)

Interesting ration! Thanks for the review, the dates square looks yummy too.

Delicious looking ration! I wish american MREs had watermelon drink mixes too.

Good review Housil, thanks for sharing! It looks really good. I wouldnt care much for the watermelon drink, but the rest of the ration would make up for it.

The main dish looks veeery appetizing ! I haven't tried the Canadian yet.
BTW - they don't want you to add tea to the potatoes
It's about adding "tea or coffee creamer" (a versatile creamer which you can use for tea or coffee) instead of cream...

Ahhhhh......

So it should read "tea- and coffee creamer"
