    I don't know why they would put the Nutella spread in that MRE instead of a cheese spread. It would go better with the veg crackers and the spaghetti. Weird. The company who made your MRE is not far from me.

    Welcome back to the UK Andy, that's a nice quiet little spot you've got there.
    The spaghetti looked a bit sloppy even with you putting less water in than recommended, and that creamer was just nasty. I've found a few non dairy ones that split in boiling water which isn't helpful. Thanks for the review.

    Bit of a beard singe hazard there! I like the collapsible tube bellows to keep the face from the fire and smoke out of my eyes. I also was surprised at how much the beef chunks rehydrated in that packet. Does the packaging on this kind of item allow for opening and reclosing, for example to get into the trail mix early, while hiking or for quick energy at a stop along the way between meals?
