As Mrs. Housil was on duty until 7pm, I had to prepare dinner for me + kid´s.
I went down at my holy basement and choose a 2001 fried turkey in brine can Bundeswehr, (fat free) butter sauce Army and civilian basmati rice.
Nothing I would have again...
You know the taste and smell of that microwave-fat-free-pop-corn?! Worse...
Mrs. Housil has to use lot´s of Thai Sauce with her dinner
I had to promise to use MRE´s/T-18 only for the future - not to poison them with
Butter Buds again...

So in your household when Mrs. Housil is away and it's up to you to fix dinner, the kids must either be really exicted about what you'll fix or very scared. :-)
I know Mrs. Kman gets a worried look on her face whenever I say "Don't worry...I'll fix dinner." This sometimes means dinner will be coming in its own individual meal pouch. :-)

Yep
The only "ration" kids like come in a brown paper bag having a yellow "M" on it...
I prefer to scare them with the date of production to make sure, they don´t even think about touching them...

thats the "best by" generation...
come on - you can say that you mean McDonalds...
you can make an experiment:
try to change the original cheeseburger against the "cheeseburger in a can"

Too much Butter Buds. That pouch was like 454g of butter. That might've been good with only a little bit of butter buds.

Yep.
I used it as a sauce as mentioned on the package

not as just a "flavor increasor" ...
Next time I/we will have a T-18 again for sure
