German EPa Chili pouch version

Post by housil » Fri Mar 10, 2023 10:44 am

I recently got some 2020 EPa´s Typ 5, those have the current brown pouches made by "Erasco". A well known German convenience food producer. I´m not a this big fan of pouches as you need a canteen, a cooker and water to heat them up always.

Since a couple of years, EPas also got a "best by date" and do not longer have a production date on. That one is best by 2022

The opened pouch, nothing spectacular to mention so far

After eating, I reread the ingrediens and noticed it say "sin Carne", not "con Carne" so it´s a vegetarian meal. I didn´t noticed it by taste nor texture :shock: :lol: It´s not made from soy but wheat proteins and I have to confess, I liked it. I would have it again even when it´s meat free. Just would add a little dash of salt.

Fantastic stuff! First I've seen these pouches
All the best, Gents.

Just break up a "Beef Patty, Chunked and Formed, Restructured, Mechanically Separated, Grill Marks Added"* and you'll be all set.
