1980 LRP - Beef With Rice - Full Review

steve1989 · Post by **steve1989** » Mon Mar 24, 2014 11:22 am

I am back with another early 80's Cadillac Products - Food Packet, Long Range Patrol. Menu 4 Beef With Rice.

Everything was still perfectly fresh and in particular, the lemon corn flake bar... oh my goodness I loved it! I wish I had 30 more of those things.

I for some reason broke my own rule and added the recommended amount instead of 25% less on the water on the main entree. It was too moist - but I still ate it.

Last year, I had opened one of my Chicken & Rice Cadillac LRP's and forgot to take a picture of the DoP code on the Hot Cocoa - it was the only indicating date on the entire ration.
I opened my other Chicken & Rice to get that date code which I will show here as well.

Hope everyone enjoys the photos.

P.S. again I got jipped on the Interdental Stimulator, they're never in the accessory packet!

!

For some odd reason I can only find this photo in my archives of the cocoa's date code and darn it I can only see 24701 on it and I could have sworn when I took a close up that I cannot find now it said 024701 and I thought it was around September 1980 - but now I have no idea when this was made. I am embarrassed!

What for great pictures, thank you for sharing!!
My very first thought of that rice was: Yuck, maggots...

It seems that the creamer flocculated (right word?). I had this two or three times too.

Hi Steve,

again, really nice review and pic's. Especially the use of the tray makes it all look better and cooler.
I'm considering to purchase a tray just to have the reviews looking better

Guys,
I think we just witnessed the competition to the other "iron stomach", norge.
