MRE and a rainy German day

It was cold and rainy all today and since we spent most of it inside Justin decided that this was the perfect time for me to try an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) these MREs are distributed to our soldiers out in the field who have no access to REAL food. He has been trying to get me to try one of the "meals" for the last week and today I caved...

Wow doesn't it just look delicious. According to Justin the Maple sausage flavor is one of the best ones.... ya right.

 Inside were tiny little packages: a muffin top, crackers, peanut butter and jelly, granola with dried fruit and dried milk (you are supposed to add water to the mixture), instant coffee and two pieces of gum. 

 Supposedly this is sausage. It smelled and tasted like canned dog food, so I gave Riley most of it. The muffin top however was edible and the granola wasn't as bad as I thought is would be.

Riley passed out after eating most of the MRE, poor dog, even he could barely handle it! Never again will I try anything Justin claims tastes good. Thank goodness I am not in the Army because I would probably starve and to all of those men  and women serving or who have served and had to eat these meals, kudos to ya'll and thank you for protecting our freedom!
