Steve's International Ration Thread
Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2015 1:14 am
Hey there everyone. I have some various rations from around the world that I have enjoyed in the past year and I would like to share the photos I took of them with you.
First off, thank you for taking the time to look at the photos - I always try to get those shots sealed in time for ya.
Now, where do I start?
How about one that I got from a very good friend that I have a ton of respect for.
I finally got an Italian 24 hr Ration Module W/ the Red Sticker. Yes, the one with the Cordial Alcohol in the Breakfast Component. (I made sure I had it for breakfast on an empty stomach.. it gave me a ever so slight tingle and warming effect.
In conjunction with the un-sweetened cappuccino and Banana Chocolate Covered Cereal Bar, I had quite the morale boost and start to my morning.
A chewy, rich chocolatey, hint of natural banana flavor cereal bar that was delicious, a cup of cappuccino that had a rich, nutty, and full flavor that wasn't sweet at all just the way I like my coffee, and of course.. the Cordial Alcohol.. what can I say it was a very good quality brandy not cheap.. it was more like a mid to top shelf quality even though in a plastic pouch. It didn't burn going down, and I picked up an almost sweet caramel undertone to it whilst sipping it along with the cappuccino as a direct accompaniment to the Cordial.
I took scissors and poured it ever so carefully not spilling 1 drop into that shot glass. I drank half immediately then sipped the other half slowly with breakfast. It was the most profoundly entertaining and luxurious ration experience of my life. Thank you again to my amazing cool buddy for sharing the experience with me.
Now that was just Breakfast!
