Saw many turtles sunning their backs and eagles fishing. Great day to be outside.
But in the end it's all about the food
I tried this combination yesterday
Pinto Stew with Ham and Mexican Style corn, plus the snack bread on the side
Used the old Yugo mess kit as it was a day trip and I wanted to pack tight. Worked out perfect for such as task
I cooked both on the German Esbit with red box fuel tabs boil in the bag style and then used the plastic bowl.First I thought the ham and Pintos had a good strong flavor of Cumin or Cominos spices. It was fine right out of the pouch. The chunks of ham were diced up in sections of about 3/8's of an inch. I added a pouch of Mexican style corn that also had the Doritos type taco smell and cumin spice taste. There were little bits of red bell peppers diced up. I also heated up a slice of the white snack bread to finish off the set. Good filling outside meal. This MRE would be a good lunch or Supper, but terrible for breakfast
Now the mix of Cappachino, Instant coffee, creamer and sugar plus British Chocolate Bar and Fruit Biscuits could work in a pinch.
The Bar was far less sweet than Made in USA Bars nor the Delicious 'Milka' brand German Chocolate Housil so kindly sent me. It had a strong Coco flavor. Also tried some British army Fruit biscuits, they were very dense and solid. I did not detect any fruit flavor, rather a Ginger taste. They would be good for breakfast, with oatmeal or other European porridge. If you smeared Jam on them it would give you a half decent stand alone breakfast (With hot coffee or tea)
