RCIR Camembert

Post by Woodland » Mon Jan 28, 2013 6:41 am

This post especially for housil :) and for all who want to know the difference between the two types of cheese.
I've seen 2 types of cheese in french rations. Normal cheese spread :

It looks like this:

Out of 9 menus I found only 1 with this type of cheese.In a menu 14 from 2010.Next year it was replaced by a "Milky dessert", actualy rice pudding.

The other type is Camembert cheese:

PB240196 (2).JPG
50% Camembert...
PB240200 (1).JPG
Darker colour and stronger "cheese" taste.
PB240202 (3).JPG
Some liquid on the bottom..

I like both but as far as I remember the "normal" version tasted better.

Wow, great - thank you! I realy appreciate this.
So it´s "just" the creme part of the camembert but not the mold(ed) cover.

You're welcome :)

In my opinion it has nothing to do with real camembert cheese. It's like any other salty cheese spread.I didn't expect something like a real camembert with that special white crust (?)...It's not bad at all. Just different :)

No,that menu 14 was the only one I found with normal cheese :)
I haven't found a "normal cheese" since then.
You want the complete 2010-11 menu list?

oeps, sorry. I must have read it too fast.
Thank you for correcting.
I'd be happy with a full list, thank you in advance!
< Turns out I only have older French rations ( latest is 2009 production).>

Here's a cheese from an '04 French ration that was on the shelf ( opened ) so I dug trough it and wanted to share the pictures with you. It tasted not bad for canned cheese, a little salty perhaps. I had it on a bun.

You are brave Nawt :) Eating cheese from 2004...
Can wasn't swollen but dairy products are more perishable,aren't they?
I have an MRE cheese spread from about 1993 (dark brown package). I don't dare to open it.I had two of them, opened one 6 years ago.
It was terribly stinky :shock: Biohazard :D

Don´t ask me about the age of that can, but it could have been ~2004, that´s how they look when:
