I might have made a mistake on eBay.
Any thoughts? I'm guessing it's still edible seeing housil's experiences with them.

Re: I might have made a mistake on eBay.
Yeah, mine looked like that too before I opened it, everything was in mint condition. The small cans are the same, one bulging and the other one not. The Risotto seems to have formed a block that can move around in the tin tho.Name_not_found wrote:Mine was pretty good at about 20 years

That one you mentioned when I eat it was 19 years old and still great in taste.
I would give it a very carefully try if it smells OK, is not bulged etc...
The "armour sheets" (crackers ) semms as they still have their vacuum so they should be still good - otherwise they get rancid. I guess the margerine is spoiled for sure due to their fat.
These square shaped ones with 2 x crackers were in use up to 1999Stef wrote: Wow, square can, stamped label... the only time I ate one like that it was in the 80's!

Re: I might have made a mistake on eBay.
I'm probably going to try everything, except the Risotto if it really turned into a block with air in the tin.housil wrote:Wow - 21 years...Unimproved wrote:

At least boil it for a few min and see if the risotto "relaxes", i have eaten many packaged rices that seem solid until heatedI'm probably going to try everything, except the Risotto if it really turned into a block with air in the tin.
Cant wait for the tasting pics!

Uni, don't worry about the age.
Those german rations can stand the test and sands of time!!!
Olli sent me one time some parts and they were over 15 yeqars old and guess what...they were ok, I ate them and I'm still alive.
they know how to pack and make their rations.
