Sorry for my english, I am from Austria so my grammar is not always the best
What was in there?
Acessory Pack with Spoon and Gum
Beverage Base Lemonade
Cheese Spread
Tortillas, Chipotle
Mocha Cappuccino Instant Powder
Spiced Apples
Beef Snack Strip
Southwest Beef and Black Beans
Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake
The Lemonade was a lot better than the "Fruit Punch" from my last MRE. But still to sweet.
The Cheese Spread was not bad. But I generally do not like processed cheese. So I am not a fan of it.
The Tortillas were a litte bit spicy and i ate them with the Cheese Spread because I think you are supposed to eat it this way. (there was no bread or crackers in there, only the Tortillas)
The Mocha Cappuccino was way better than the coffee in #9. But it had a weird aftertaste.
I liked the Spiced Apples. There were apple slices with apple sauce and cinnamon. It just tastes like the filling of the McDonalds Apple Pie.
The worst thing in this MRE was the Beef Snack Strip. Maybe I had false expectations. It smelled like dog food and the taste was really strange. I did not like it at all, I did not eat the whole strip.
The main meal was Southwest Beef and Black Beans. I bought it because it sounds interesting. But all that it is, just canned Chili Con Carne. It was better than #9 but there is still room for improvements.
I could not taste test the Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake, because the sealing was not good anymore. So it had mold on it and was not safe to eat.
I hoped for the amazing cinnamon gum like in the last MRE. But it was just regular spearmint gum. Still good and chewy.
A comment on the accessories: the spoon is pretty durable and good quality. The heating pack was also working very well and it was steaming a lot. Just like the last MRE i tested.
So over all, what do I think of this MRE? It was slightly better than #9, but still not the best. I my opinion there is a lot room for improvement.
I give 5 out of 10 points for this MRE.
