It looks like some of the images in that link, serrated leaf edge one.

The taste was a mix of kale and escarole with a hint of some other funk.

I think it would have been better heated.

The beef and egg roll was nice, but i didn't get egg flavor , more soy like

I have some translations in progress,

I decided to add the cabbage to the soup, it was better than either of the two alone, still very salty though

Not a bad meal either, the blocks are good, and so is the meat, the sides i think its just a flavor im not used to.

I did not notice any heating packs or other means to heat the food included with the pouches so I'm guessing that the Chinese PLA rations don't need to be cooked, yes?
