Well, back to the Norwegian chili. I'm hoping that I might be able to pick up something international while I'm here, but haven't had much interaction with the coalition partners yet.

Chili: Lots of rice, definitely not what I'm used to or would expect to see in Chili. Some beans, pretty mild flavor. Not much in the way of veggies or chilis. Just a hint of something smokey/bbq flavor. Rehydrated well, just a few dry/crunchy spots in some of the meat pieces that were way on the bottom. Small strips of meat that are pretty tender but there aren't many of them. Okay hot sauce, not enough provided for my taste--finished with Tapatio from my desk drawer.

Lemon Pepper Tuna: Good flavor, similar to Charlie's Tuna Lunch Kit in texture; lemon adds a hint of acidity, just enough pepper. The pocket bread is much better tasting than US Wheat Snack Bread; no funny taste, but a bit dry and crumbly--it was pretty much broken apart in the pagage (see picture) so I doubt it could actually be used to make a pocket sandwich with the tuna.

Cranberries: More like raisins than the US version, dried and without the nasty oil.
Energy drink: Decent flavor, fairly generic raspberry flavor. Similar to DripDrop
Chocolate: Dark-bittersweet, a little on the dry & crumbly side.
Gum: More like the tab-sized chewing gum, intense flavor and doesn't fade very quickly.
Accessories: Wet wipe good sized, high alcohol content. Would have been nice to have a napkin, which would be nice in most MREs.
