Thanks to blackdogbob for sending this one my way! I had this breakfast for dinner, but beans and hot dog chunks was always more of a dinner time food in my family anyway so it worked out.

The baked beans were pretty good - standard fare. The hotdog chunks were ok - not great - but certainly not bad. I had the first half with a little bit of the cornbread, and the second half I coated with the hot sauce packet. The hot sauce was a milky white color - I'm still not exactly sure why. It tasted just fine. The ketchup packet however seemed to be spoiled. It was swollen nearly to the bursting point. That's ok though, I wouldn't have added it to anything in the meal. The sports drink mixed up well and was a good partner with the beans.
I can't say enough good things about the peaches. The Canadian plant for Baxter (who now owns Wornick by the way) makes some excellent pouched fruit. I've had them a few times now, and they're always fresh smelling and tasting. I ate the second half of the cornbread with strawberry jam. It was a different sort of choice, but it turned out great! I drank the coffee while I ate the cornbread and jam as a sort of follow up to the main meal.
One thing I learned doing this review, my cat Ted apparently loves baked beans. Normally he'll sneak up and stare at me while I'm eating a ration. That'll prompt me to offer a small bit - he'll smell it, and usually leave me be. This time he went for it and wouldn't leave until I gave him a few more beans. Definitely and interesting choice for him - normally he'd only go for meat or dairy items.
In any case, thanks for reading!
