Today I got something from my dad.
He gave me a canadian IMP.
He got it from ebay for only 10 euros and that ration is a rarity in europe!
But it´s without the main meal but for that price that´s ok.
This one is lunch menu no.4 zesty turkey and vegetable stew.
What I found funny is that there is an instant dressing mix in this ration but there is no salad to put it on!
I can´t read american date codes but I think this ration is from 2006 or 2007.
Or is the 07 on the package the date?
contents:
-zesty turkey with vegetables in sauce(that was the only thing thát is missing in my ration)
-cherries with syrup
- bread
-1xpeanut butter
-1xstrawberry jam
-"coffee crisp"bar
-instant dressing mix
-beverage powder:raspberry
-2x chewing gums
-spoon
-tissues
-1xtea bag:orange pekoe
-1x instant coffee
-2x sugar
-1x salt
-1x pepper
-1x tabasco
-matches
-paper:Questionnaire
-2x tooth picks
-candy:"pralines `n cream"
Tissues with spoon:
The spoon is extra long so you can eat out of the pouch.
And now the things I tried:
Chewing gums:
Were normal.
Raspberry beverage powder:
Very good!
Taste like normal raspberry drink.
"Coffee crisp "bar:
Good!
Chocolate covered wafer coffee bar.
First you taste the chocolate.
And then you taste the coffee.
Bread with peanut butter and strawberry jam:
I didn´t ate the peanut butter on the canadian bread, like the strawberry jam.
With strawberry jam:
Toast with peanut butter:
The bread was not so good.
It tasted like the plastic pouch.
I think that´s because of the age.
But with the strawberry jam it was ok.
The strawberry jam was very sweet, not like typical european strawberry jam.
But good!
And this was the first time I have eaten peanut butter.
The american members won´t understand that but here in Europe it´s not the typical spread.
But I found it was very good!
The candy:
Not good I think!
I don´t like cream candys!
The cherries with syrup:
First thing to say is this was made from the Wornick Company that makes the meals for the MRE´s too.
And second thing to say is that it was very good!
The syrup viscosity was more like water than like syrup.
That was the review of the canadian army ration(without main meal).
