I should touch on the flames ration heater real quick. I happened on some of them a few months ago. So I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use a Canadian frh in a video. People ask all the time how they heat their food in the Canadian military. Now they know. But now on to its performance. As I was setting up I noticed that the elements looked exactly like the ones in the U.S frh but there must have been something a bit different about it because once I put about half the amount of recommended water in the thing it took off like crazy. So all that being said the IMP frhs work really well. I especially like the much larger bag. Having that extra room is really nice.
I guess it's kind of an American thing to eat PB&J but this strawberry jam and Canadian peanut butter made a really good half of a PB&J sandwich. The strawberry jam was sweet and tasted very natural. The peanut butter has just a faint hint of sweetness, thick, creamy, with a good strong peanut flavor. Following the PB&J up with some peach slices in syrup was a nice pallet cleanser. Of course they were sweet because of the syrup but they still had a nice firmer texture to them. They hadn't suffered from being in the retort pouch for 3 years at all.
Well move on to the drinks now. First was the lemon sports drink. It was sweet, tangy, and tasted like a good lemonade. This meal also came with the Chilled Cappuccino Protein Drink mix. It was very, very thick with a really strong coffee flavor and not overly sweet. I should mention that I started off with just a little extra water but I ended up putting well over double the recommended amount of water to it. Even after adding the extra water it was still plenty thick with good flavor.
Now finally I finished up the ration with a perfectly preserved Mars Bar. The chocolate was nice and thick with a good crunch. The chocolate flavored nougat mixes nicely with the creamy caramel. I'll put a link to my YouTube video down below if you'd like to check it out.
One last thing. Huge thanks to BlackDogBob for giving me the opportunity to check out the imp spaghetti..... Later ya'll.
