US TOTM - chicken with noodles
Hi, this is Delicious!
I have a test of an US ration, but a special version-for training
it is called TOTM
it is packed by the Wornick company
and very fresh-2018 = 9 months old
I haven't had this entree before
I am very curious how it will taste
This ration can be opened like the regular military MRE
I mean peelable seal
Can be opened with just hands
in most cases... ;)
let's see what's inside
The entree, pretzels - probably salty sticks
cheddar crackers
a pack of M&M's, zapplesauce-apple puree
instant mocca capuccino drink
a FRH
and accesories
a wet nap. salt, pepper, sugar
instant coffee type II and whitener
Let's put it on tray :)
This set is the same as in the regular MREs
I am curious , because the FRH is very fresh-from this year
if it will work much better than older
Let's have a look on other items
I will get only some of them
just small, salty sticks
this whole pack provides 110 calories
cheddar crackers
240 calories
they have a cheddar color
This puree I will open later
I will prepare mocaccino
I will skip the second coffee, because it is too late today
I forgot M&M's
everything is 2018
I will get 120 calories from this drink
I have to add just warm/hot water
The hot water is inside, but you can use cold as well
whole preparation is just shaking the pouch
There is a handle, so you can drin straight from the bag
The entree is ready
it is not very hot-I'm surprised
you can eat it straight from the pouch
but I can show you how it looks like
time to taste
if you think that for such a dish you'll need 5-6 ingredients
like-chicken, pasta, 2-3 vegetables, salt,pepper,maybe cream
you're wrong !
this is the full ingredients list !
of course it is more detailed-like 2 kinds of meat
and a zillion strange things like flavor enchancers
like yeast extract or bonito flakes extract
I usually don't analyze this, because it scares me
fortunately it is not my daily food
nice pieces of chicken
some mushrooms
the dish is almost totally cold
the FRH, despite of its young age, didn't work
it was heated for 14 minutes
it tastes like a typical chicken stew
not spicy but not bland
as for US MRE is not bad
It has a bitter aftertaste
it tastes like a dish from a cheap street bar
we don't have any additional spices like tabasco
I didn't finish this dish
now Iwill taste moccacino
it is a decent drink, if you like sweet coffee
something like almost cocoa drink with fat cream
nice dessert drink
now the sticks
We don't have any kind of bread/tortille/crackers
But we have some snack, what should be enough
These sticks are really decent, lightly salty
fresh
now the cheddar crackers
As a snack it is very good, crunchy
you can taste the cheddar at the end, nice color
I will put the zapplesauce into this small bowl
to show you the color
The is an apple puree with maltodextrin
is a kind of energy booster
Nice pouch, which use can use directly to your mouth
pretty runny
I would say it is even very tasty
not too sweet, strong apple flavor
sligthly sour
M&M's are good-fresh, chocolate flavor
you know this taste very well
nice snack during the day
Let's open the towlette
The quality is similar to Polish - very thin, made of paper, easy to tear
it is small, it is difficult to wipe hands thoroughly
It was the test of the US TOTM
the entree was chicken with noodles and vegetables in gravy
Thanks for watchin, come and see the upcoming videos
