    This is a meal I could pounce on. It is OK if I must take it up north to the mountains where we can experience a light frost. Thank you for the trip back in time. Growing up in my Grandparent's home, my grandfather would often tell me about his time in the US Army coast artillery. After a serious stroke, he could still explain point by point how plotters would triangulate on target rafts and often hit with the first round. Sometimes, windows in the living quarters down the hill from the heavy gun emplacements were blown out during practice. Happy memories of time past.

    Hey guys, looks like a really good hot breakfast, on a cold December morning. I noticed, just as you've mentioned in earlier videos, how the US powdered drinks, don't mix as easily as the European drink mixes. I wonder what is different in them? The ingredients in the omelet, looked the same as most of the western omelets that I've seen, at least very similar. Still looked really tasty. Have a great week, looking forward to more. Great story about the triangulation on the radio signals, God bless.

    It's so hard to get over here in the UK as Mountain House doesn't sell here, and shipping it from the US makes it prohibitive financially, unfortunately.

    I think they call it a "western omelet" because it's like a Denver omelet. A French omelet is just eggs, and isn't fully set.
    But then would a French omelet, or normal freeze dried eggs be called a "middle omelet," because France is between the "East" and the "West?"
