      Maybe, but it is a really thick mix. It would be hard to get hot water in the field for a soldier with just an FRH.

    That was one of the war recipes that Benjamin Franklin wrote about before those mad lads used to go out for a riot. "Before ye cut loose, dine on thee olde Fettuccini a la Spinate with the hard tack flavoured with thee olde Library." But any menu 14 vegetarian pasta was always the last ones in the case and made for some miserable days near the end of a mission. Great work on this one. I bet it came out looking the same way it went in! Taking it for the team... and science!

    Welcome back sir. I have one of these and have for a while and haven’t tried it. The spinach fettuccine. I’m not looking forward to the day I have to eat it but when I do I’m just gonna coat it in Tabasco sauce that will make anything edible enough

    Dude, cran
    aspberry is so good. I would to have a case of them. Now that chocolate drink. Nothing makes that taste good. Coffee, sugar, cream doesn't help. Forget about mixing it up. I guess you can pretend it's ice cream, but it tastes like ass. There's no help for it. At least it has the best energy bar ever. Amazing job on banging this one out. Two in one. Must have been crunch time. Great review brother❤😎

    If you add the salt to the FRH it will get hotter faster and stay hot. Please try that.

    • @RationNerd
      @RationNerd  2 місяці тому

      I have added salt to many US FRH's. Some did better, some of them it was just a waste of salt. US FRH's just need to be way better. Our troops deserve a hot meal. Don't get me wrong, it is a cool trick to get more performance out of the FRH. The second ration of this review, that FRH did really well.

    Not sure if I'd like the spinach fettuccini or not. I was thinking it was something else. I'm not a pesto fan, but they included a main once that was pesto fettuccini and I did like it. Not sure about that spinach stuff, though. I love spinach, but that looked like a failed attempt at beef and noodles. I think I'll go with you on the verdict.

    • @RationNerd

    That spinach, LOL. I did this A month or so, as A joke. Before I started review, I told all, what I thought about the meal, LOL. I had tried it before. It had not changed taste since earlier reviews, I was correct, LOL. I never had bad peanut butter? I mixed up some from tinned rations, still good. Agreed on FRH! Pretzels good. Protein drinks are texturally challenging to me. New packaging, jury undecided? It looks cheap to me, yet, I am still searching for one. I want to try one anyway. It still looks cheap, sorry. Luck on new FRH. We shall see? I lost faith Yrs. ago, just boil mains now. M.o.r.e. pack, never tried. I have seen reviewed however. It would be nice addition to most meals. Agreed on coffee comment. Bacon cheddar was hot ticket item before Jalapeño cheese came along. Now, rarely seen. Better as spread, instead of soup, personal opinion only. New ration, Mexican, You got heat from FRH? Sort of. Watch the Bills Brew. 1st one ever, last month, I found mold in one. 2021 vintage. Similar items in new meal. I like all. Protein drink being the exception, LOL. Tortillas would go well. Picante sounds good. Glad you had fun, and enjoyed most. Cool idea on comparison. Peace from Ky. , John. Sorry I missed premiere, but I did catch up. Hope all are well. Be safe.

    It's not to deny the servicemembers a half ounce of peanut butter. They reallocated the calories and macronutrients into other items while maintaining variety in the ration. The spinach fettuccine is pretty shit, though. Just consumed a couple of cases of MRE to rotate my stock. I couldn't eat it.

    I have never understood the “Bowl” components. Usually when you order a “burrito bowl” in the world it’s to avoid the carbs in the tortilla. MRE’s low carb item, surrounded by carbs, like adding a tortilla would be contrary or something.

    • @RationNerd
      @RationNerd  2 місяці тому +1

      Agreed! One tortilla would have made this menu much tastier. It still would have been a complete carb load, but it was regardless!
