I took some rations with me as almost all shops are closed in Germany sundays. :cry:


We had to respond just to some heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary edema so we could eat/try several rations.

For lunch we had some Dutch:

the bags are the same as the british ones.

Just hot spiced, but thats all. Add a grain of salt to make it delicious

2nd:

My prefered lunch. A certain "sweet" taste. Not hot nor salty - very delicious. The meat balls were OK, not to hard.


For dinner we had some German EPa entrees:

Image
Italien noodles w/ ground meat

Image
Everybodies food "darling" in the German Army (Bundeswehr)

Image

We also had some:

Image

Image
Two beef patties w/ tomato sauce and potatos slices

Image
Well spiced but not hot - just OK.



I hope you don´t believe we eat the whole day rations at work.
:oops:

No-no

We had some

Yeah, the other countries rations always look so much better than MREs, but I guess if I had to outfit 100k soldiers instead of 1000k I could offer a little bit more to them. I love my EPAs, I just wish the food was more ethnic or something, all this food looks like what we could/would get here. I'm surprised there is no chili MRE. (chilimac though.. mmmmm. :) )

Actually, "Chili w/ Beans" is the new MRE menu # 1 since the 2006 changes.

It's OK, but really nothing to write home about.

Hi Housil,

great pictures. Looks like you had a nice 12 hr shift.
Judging by the rations you took along, my guess would be that you could work a 24 hrs shift :wink: yummie yum.

cheers Nawt.

Hey, you First Responders in Germany get blue light racks??? Like on the Audi. Thats not fair. Blue lights are for Politzei ONLY, in the USA. I actually ate the hamburger patties in tomato sauce. Excellent. :)

Fair enough. No Texas chili. ;) What are beans in chili for?
