Menu List for IMP 13-15

Post by BlackDogBob » Tue May 31, 2016 8:26 pm

Hey guys! After several days of research and waiting for a shipment of IMPs to get here, I have concluded that a list of menu items for IMPs from 2013-2015 simply does not exist! Therefore, I have decided to put one together the best I can, at least through the first 12.

There are 21 different menus available each year for IMPs. To keep things interesting for the troops, the Canadian Military comes up with 5-6 new menus each year. Until 2012, they did this via survey sheets found in the bottom of each IMP package. In 2012, realizing that it was difficult for troops in the field to fill out and return a survey, they took to social media in the form of a Facebook page. (Side note, I liked their page and sent them a PM asking for a list and was told it was not available to people outside the Canadian Military). Anyway, not to be undone, I took a different route. The below is what I have learned.

For 2013, 2014, and 2015, the first six menu items have not changed. They are:
1- Sausage and Hashbrowns
2- Hashbrowns and Bacon
3- Baked Beans
4- Breakfast Sausage
5- Scalloped Potatoes and Ham
6- Beans and Weiners

Menu numbers 7-12 were introduced in 2014. They are:

7- Hamburger
8- Veal Cutlet and Mushroom Sauce
9- Shepherds Pie
10- Chicken Pesto Pasta
11- Chicken Cannelloni
12- Chicken Cordon Bleu

In a case of Lunch/Dinner for the IMP 14s, you get two of each menu item accept #s 8 and 11. This makes those two the most wanted by the troops.

A very interesting note is that the IMP14s are ONLY menus 7-12. The IMP 13s are ONLY 1-6, and the IMP 15s are ONLY 13-18. So for Canadian troops, the only breakfast menus available to them from 2013-2016 are the IMP 13 menus 1-6; 3 of which really aren't considered to be "Breakfast" food.

I have reached out to a Contractor Friend who works with the Canadian Military and asked him to get me a list of menus 13-18 (IMP 15) and 19-21 and 1-6 (IMP 16).

I recieved 6 cases of IMP14s today and all six were identical. In a bad cell area and unable to upload pics. Will try again tomorrow when in a major city.
