last time I saw a meal like your chicken stew, it was not moving from the bowl into my mouth but rather in the opposite way :?

I still think the mighty can is better than the retort pouch. Seeing a 78 C ration being eaten doesnt "shock" anymore :lol:
but I cant see a 31 year old MRE holding up in any of its items.
You are the bravest ration eater here Norge.

I’m a little bit surprised that the Peanut Butter is not edible any more :o , usually it lasts to eternity, knead the pouch and it is ok!?

That sounds bad :( , but the appearance as I could see in the photo is ok, isn’t it?
