  • This Norwegian 24 hour SR92 was a very transitional, somewhat bulky throwback to the modern single meal variation currently issued to the Norwegian Armed Forces. This review was a real blast from start to finish. With corroded codfish caviar, whole meal biscuits decomposed down into mush, overly acidic coffee, beef stew with a horrendous nacho cheese-syle sauce, slightly stale tropical fruit soup, and a super dry and not overly sweet dark chocolate bar, this 24 hour ration really had it all.

    Norwegian here. There is absolutely no cheese in that stew, which I've eaten many times, so that smell and taste must come from some weird process over the years. Also the mackerel in tomato was probably fine. It always smells extremely bad, but the taste is quite okay (and probably a bit aquired), especially with some mayo. The rations when I served in 2000 were very similar to this one. I can't remember them including caviar (i might be wrong though), but there were small tubes of bacon and/or ham flavoured spreadable cheese that were nice to sqeeze into the freeze dried meal for some added taste and texture. There was also a pack of malt candies. They tasted quite bad, but went down ok for some quick carbs when you were wet, tired and hating life. I would often trade them for coffee, though, from my non caffeine addicted squad mates. The chocolate was A+ and probably the best part of the pack :)

      The mackerel when it's within the date, is fine, although requires that acquired taste of yours. However, it's a good 20+ years off and it will smell and taste 20+y off.

    • @arthas640
      @arthas640 3 года назад +5

      Canned mackerel is kind of hit and miss depending on what country or brand cans it. I've had some that was pretty mild tasting/smelling and some that was like someone had canned beach muck during low tide before letting it fester for awhile in the sun.

You give us vets something to talk and laugh about that’s not all the doom and gloom side of military life.
