It's canned buckwheat with beef, chicken or pork. Nothing you can get in Germany, but there is a small Russian shop near me where i get this. They also have the tastiest dark rye bread.

Eastern European rations tend to be more sweet and meat based, and the Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian more varied with more fish and other sources of protein, but now a funny thing is happening, because, with the EU, field rations are influencing mutually like in other areas, and I think having Portuguese Tomato Sardines and a nice German beef in a battle ration is beautiful - story of my life, my bloodlines are Portuguese/German. Great video by the way, enjoy your trip.

I have never heard peanuts called Virginia peanuts. I find it interesting that anyone would call them that since Georgia has always been the top producer of peanuts. That's where I've always known them to come from. I live in a state next to VA and didn't even know they grew them. Even my family members in VA who have farmed for years there didn't know VA produced them or have ever heard them called that. Any idea why people in your area called them that?

[@StormTrackerWV]

The only thing that kills me about you licking that wooden spoon, Sir, is fearing you might get a splinter! LOL! Actually, I'm thinking that cutlery set may be bamboo, which is a new "green" alternative to plastic utensils because bamboo grows so quickly. It also prevents deforestation fron using trees (and I think bamboo may be compostable/somewhat biodegradable? ) This is such a fantastic ration and it looks like ya'll are having an awesome vacation!
