Not sure if the accessories would have been any different if the outer bag reflected which entree was inside, but probably not.
I'm not going to post pictures of the foil packs anymore, they all say the same thing. Numbers on the back may be of interest to someone though. No printing on the entree pack.
On to the review! I "boiled in the bag" to prepare the main. The entree is mainly tasteless potato,soft but not mushy. Sausage bits were dry, but not as rubbery as they look. Over all not very good, definitely needs condiments of your choice. Nowhere near enough to even take the edge off my hunger. I suspect I could eat three of these but that'd be way too many calories (and salt).
The fruit cocktail is pretty typical for North Americans: Grapes, cherry, pear, peach, pineapple tidbits in a unsweetened syrup. Everything tasted the same, only difference was texture. Again not very much in way of quality or quantity.
I also ate the Crunchy Cereal Type III. Not a big fan of hot cereal so added 2 tbsp cold water. I'm guessing there's non dairy creamer in the mix as it became very milky. After two minutes, the cereal was still very hard. After five minutes it was edible but still too hard to be enjoyable. 30 minutes later it was no softer so I finished it. Pleasant strawberry taste and sweet. This too had a bitter after taste that I had to wash away with the sports drink.
Over all very disappointed with this one. Not enough, nor good tasting. Perhaps better suited to countries that don't prefer a large meal first thing in the day. Having said that, I'm sure an active on-the-go soldier is not going to want a belly full of food to lug around all day, where as I prefer a big first meal to get me through the day of drudgery.
