2007 Canadian IMP - Zesty Turkey and Vegetable Stew
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2020 8:22 pm
I posted this in the wrong thread by accident. Whoops.
I just got several 2007 IMPs in thanks to a ping by Salty Croc. Easy buy!
Working into this slowly to see how the rest might have held up before I made a video.
For a ever growing list of menus and contents, there is my spreadsheets:
The good:
The Turkey Stew is pretty much like a heavily peppered chicken stew with a lot of pieces of formed turkey chunks in it. Same consistency of most canned chicken products. Great flavour!
The Bread, Peanut Butter, and Jam was great
The Raspberry Sports Drink tasted like a more mild version of the US Sugar free raspberry.
Coffee was you regular instant coffee style. Not as good as the espresso roast but I am a fan of black coffee.
The bad:
That Baskin Robbin's hard candy was a little soft and kinda sketchy.
The dressing was just soggy bread with some old herbs. It did taste better mixed with the stew though. If I had this in the field I'd just dump it into the main pouch.
The cherries might have been edible. I ate one and left it at that. The smell just seemed a little meh.
The ugly:
The coffee crisp, while looking amazing and showing no sign of blooming or melting, was a pile of stale gross. It was like putting a chunk of chocolate covered foam in your mouth. I spit it out. No surprise here for me, since I've had a box of mini coffee crisps go from being totally fine to totally garbage within a few months at room temperature.
