Latvian single meal ration- menu 3
Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2016 2:10 am
Yesterday I tried this ration. It was quite interesting and tasty. There is no production date on it - only best before (2017), so quite fresh one.
The main dish is a meat stew with pearl barley (mixed beef and pork) and some vegetables. It's packed in a can (250g) and you have a portable Esbit stove with fuel tabs enough for about 20 min (you can really boil it in this time).
The rest of the content:
- rice porridge with strawberries
- rye bread
- honey
- apricot jam
- raisins
- coffee, fruit tea, sugar
- a (broken) spoon
- peppermint hard candies
- moist towlette
Actually everything was good (I didn't eat the candies). The main was meaty, the barley was little bit "al dente" - so nice to eat. Good porridge, not too sweet. What is exceptional in this ration ?
- the bread ! - it is a normal latvian tasty bread which you can buy there in a shop - no - shelf-stable-styrophone-something
- 4 packs of coffee and 40g of sugar for 1 meal
, no whitener (which I personally hate)
- no chewing gum, no salt or pepper (but it was not necessary)
