While that cooks lets try some other items

Drink Mix and Bag

Strawberry

All Mixed up, the bag can stand, but its hard to photograph like that

Super Red and Delicious it Actually Tasted Like Strawberries, Not Fake Strawberry, Good Amount Also Enough to Quench Thirst

Raisin Oatmeal

Almost Forgot to Take a Picture of This One

Dry

Looks Nice, Smells Pretty Good

Mixed, Ill taste this later with the main meal

Tiny little Raisins, Champagne Grape Raisins Maybe?

Hot Chocolate

Similar Package to The Strawberry Mix

Dry

Smells Very Good

Mixed

Very Good, Rich Chocolate Flavor, But Too Little Water Used, Not Much Of a Drink

Everything is hot, Time to Eat!

The Whole meal plated up

Coffee and Mustard not Eaten

Pears

Sweet and Soft, Typical Canned Pears, Good

Bread

Warmed Very Well in Boiling Waer

Oatmeal

This Soaked Up the Water after a Little, Very Good Oatmeal, Not too Spicy, Good Texture and the Raisins Rehydrated Very well

Sausages

Doesnt Look too Bad, No Maple Smell I Expected for Some Reason

Close up

Its Solid Meat, but Soft In Texture, Almost Spam Like, but Smokier

Bread and Honey

Very Very Good, Soft Bread, Sweet Smooth Honey

Dessert

Gum and Hard Candy, Gum is Just Like MRE Gum

Crazy Looking Candy

No sugar added, Im Sure There was Some inTthere Though, Nice and Sweet

Overall a very tasty and filling meal, plenty to drink and even a little candy.

God that looks so good right now. So Treesuit is selling IMPs? I might have to PM him to see if he still has some. The Oatmeal looks awesome, I love those little raisins!

Great review, man!

Very cool review and great pics, NnF! The only thing that I would not eat from that menu is the oatmeal. For me it is a texture issue, just could never choke it down----cream of wheat/maypo (oh man am I showing my age or what, who remembers maypo? ) the same issue. One thing I found that is interesting with the Canadian IMPs (I've yet to try one) is that they seem to follow the same system we do in that they don't have a 24-hour ration like some other countries do. Also if seems like the outer bag that has the IMP info and menu on it is not very durable and to me would be hard to carry in a pocket but hey the inner contents seem ready made to be carried easily.
