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,
"Stay strong to the end, help is on the way"
It my favorite quote so far.

Lets get to the weird stuff

- Powder Item

- Tea or Soup?

- I guess its soup, seaweed and fish flavor. Very strong smell, but much milder taste

- Soft item #1

- Its cabbage and seeds, in an incredibly salty sauce, all i can taste is salt

- Soft Item #2

- Its Meat

- Corned Beef, or close to it, probably should have heated it, but it was good anyway

- 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.
(The spoon i set aside for our resident collector, if he isnt interested ill add a pic of them open)

Its two small utensils one is a spoon, i assume fork for the other but cant tell, the ends are covered by a napkin
Almost like an MCI spoon i would say hard but still flexible
No Fortune cookies yet

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?

I thought the same thing! When I first saw it I thought it was a spatula, but then realized the square part was just a napkin.
