Badtux the Snarky PenguinIn a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin. Religious fundamentalists are motivated by the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, is having fun -- and that this must be stopped. |
Friday, March 03, 2006Cheeze Whiz, oh my!Just popped upon the next MRE pouch, "Red Beans, Rice, & Sausage". Two items therein: "Filled Pretzels, Chedder Cheese" and "Cheese spread".So I kneaded the cheese spread as directed on the package, opened it up, opened up the pretzels, dipped them into the cheese, and... junk food heaven! A bit salty, and HORRIBLY bad for you, being a bit over 400 calories of which almost half of it is fat, but yummy all the same. If these items aren't a popular trade item for the guys in the field, they musta grown up in a different country from the one I grew up in, 'cause this was, like, the very *essense* of junk food! - Badtux the Waddling Penguin Labels: food, MRE reviews Posted by: BadTux / 3/03/2006 07:33:00 PMComments:Maybe they are thinking: Soldiers in the field need lots of energy, sugar doesn't last very long- so give 'em fat..I used to stay away from trailmix - found the nuts and raisins too heavy on my stomach, but one time I was backpacking up a mountain (7000ft) in NM with a 50lb pack, and I was munching trailmix all the way up - didn't bother my stomach at all. # posted by SB Gypsy : 4/3/06 7:27 AM |
