Lithuanian ration #4
Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2016 11:38 am
This is my first international ration, I picked it up from the post office maybe an hour ago. I got this and #10. I was curious about the groats so this one goes first.
Pork with Groats in Sauce: hands down the best main I think I have ever had. Even my wife and daughter who turned up their noses liked this a lot. There is plenty of it and it is filling. You can see the chunks of meat and they are tender with perfect seasoning.
Chocolate: this wasn't as bitter as I thought it would be. Very good. Need more bars of this.
Crackers: hard as rocks and the caraway seeds really make these a winner. They were great used to dip up the pork and excellent with the honey.
Hazelnuts: umm....they're hazelnuts, good and a plenty of them.
Lemon drink: tasted like I imagine Lemon Pledge does. Okay but not exciting.
Honey: dark and sweet and delicious with crackers
I didn't make up the tea but will probably have a cup later this evening. I am saving the stove to toss in my emergency bag.
On a scale of 1-10 this is easily a 9 in content, flavor and ability to fill me up. I highly recommend ordering these. I may order a full case to have on hand based solely on this menu.
Opened up and spread out it didn't seem like there was really that much to it but in reality it is quite a bit
All plated and warmed up.
