@15:51 My French may be archaic and Creole French at that.. but... Pork is spelled 'Porc' in French, and that clearly says 'Salad Gizzards Red Quinoa' ... and my childhood in Mobile Alabama was filled with Gizzards and Rice with gravy (thats nice). I still love it, even if its hard to find good gizzards now days.
I also have those French packages on the shelf, all menus 1-14. I have to make a video about one of them at some point. Those fruit bars are way too sweet for my taste. BTW, on those cookies, in the plastic, in small letters, is what kind of cookies they are.
The bars are definitely the lowest quality things in these MREs. I suspect it's price issue. They'd rather have a decent main meal even if it means going cheap on the bars.
We use a tool named Tatou, spoon, knife, fork, wine bottle opener (yes), can opener, and also a kind of jetboil to heat (the stuff in RCIR smells a lot).
