    From an ex-German Army soldier: Type 2 is the best kind. There are also a few tricks to combine some ingredients to form new meals/drinks. One does get inventive after a while. There used to be spreadable cheese in them (maybe type 1 or 3, can't remember). Combine that with the Cevapcici: pretty nice. Anyways: Thanks for the videos dude and also your daughter is really adorable! Greetz from Germany. :) P.S.: Do not eat too much of that chocolate. Constipation alert! ;)

    I really enjoy how you unpack, and show us everything one piece at a time. And about the whiteness on chocolate: "Sugar bloom is caused by moisture. Condensation on to the surface of the chocolate or moisture in the chocolate coating causes the sugar to absorb the moisture and dissolve. When the moisture evaporates, the sugar forms larger crystals, leaving a dusty layer." Got it from google :)

    For a lot of people our food is hard for the stomach. Traditional German food is made to work on a field all day long, without getting hungry so far, it's stuffing. People who say it has a boring taste to it either have only eaten it made from a non German cook, or have pretty dead tastebuds, never had someone complain about my mother's or grandma's food. There is a lot of foreign food I like, but at the end of the day I'd visit my mother for somethng homemade.

    Vegan. Not vegetarian. Vegetarians are allowed to eat animal products that no animal had to be killed or mutilated for. So milk, eggs, honey, etc. are okay for vegetarians. What you mean is vegan. Know the name of your true enemy.

    ***** You do know people can survive without meat, right? Even vegans don't exactly _die_ from the lack of animal products if they seek out the right plants, though it is of course much easier to use animal products. Besides, I'm a freaking meat eater, myself. I eat meat every single day. I make it a _point_ to eat meat every single day.

    Actually you can get all you need from plant-based food. Doing the research is not that hard. In Sweden we had many hard years where animalistic food was necessary to survive the winters which then turned into our foodculture. Now on the other hand the industrialized society has tamed the active hard working farmer into a far less active life where we need less meat and animal products. Sure, eat some meat - but stuffing yourself like greasy American fastfood-junkies obviously isn't healthy. Also the industrialized animal-industry is sick and creates shitty food as well. Be your own farmer if you want healthy food.

    I have to say that I like Crystal's eagerness to try new foods. I wasn't as fortunate when I was raising mine. Oftentimes, they'd simply turn away when we brought new dishes to the table. "I don't like it" was the common frain, spoken by them without so much as a taste. Kudos to your "boss" for being open to new foods.

    Thanks Kiwi Dude and Crystal for another great review. Crystal looked cute in her Panda Jammies. It was nice to see you found Percy the Tank Engine. I thought he had gotten stuck in the dishwasher. This German ration looks different than the last one. I don't recall the silver packaging in the last one. And the shokolade did not look like something you brought home from a paleontology seminar. Neat to see such a fresh ration pak. When I was stationed in ( West ) Germany in early 80s we did our EOD ( emergency ordinance disposal ) training at a large German training area called Muenster Lagen Sud. After practicing to blow things up ( lots of fun ) we were invited by our German hosts to dinner. Dinner was made in their Bundeswehr ( Boon-des-veer ) field kitchens. As I recall they served the best Kartoffel suppe i have ever had. ( Potato soup ) along with some very nice wurst and black brot ( bread ). We had a great time with our German comrades , or Rads as we called them. It was nice to see you and Crystal again and i hope you are all enjoying your winter down there.

    When I was stationed in (West ) Germany in 70s and 80s whenever i could wangle a 4 day pass i would try and do some traveling. American Express had great tours for Military personnel. For example 4 days and 3 night bus tour to Paris for $89.00. Hotel usually had what they called " Continental Breakfast " which basically was coffee or tea and yummy fresh croissant and breads with various tiny tins, like you had in this ration pak, of jams and meat pate products.;

    FT W I ate liver as a kid and loved it. Then when I was about 14 I suddenly couldn't stand the taste. I have tried over the years to like it, and just can't. Our taste buds change over the years. Although if the pate is good and it has a nice ratio of meat to liver and decent seasoning (preferably with black truffles also) and is served with mustard and cornichons I will eat it. Be brave it might surprise you.
