Steve finally visits Pripyat. Enters an abandoned grocery store. Sees an unopened can of food. This is still intact. Opens the can begins eating. “You know even though this can was to expire back in circa 1989 and was exposed to radiation it still hasn’t lost its flavor. I’m tasting small notes of cesium 125.”

[@nickadams2451]

The packaging on the MRE looks like it came from that era. So that’s why I came up with the Pripyat reference. Steve have you ever come across any Soviet 1980s MREs?

[@nickadams2451]

Just wondered if they exist and what exactly were they? I have seen the reproduction WW 2 era Soviet stuff with the pea soup block etc. I’m just curious what if anything existed during the Brezhnev era?

That pearl barley porridge(you did not liked) actually was one of the main food in Soviet Army. Everybody hate it)) And we gave it a lot of slang names like "shrapnel". But if it well cooked, it has nice taste and smooth texture, it is very cheap and healthy. Some quotes: "Barley played an important role in ancient Greek culture as a staple bread-making grain as well as an important food for athletes, who attributed much of their strength to their barley-containing training diets. Roman athletes continued this tradition of honoring barley for the strength that it gave them. Gladiators were known as hordearii, which means "eaters of barley." I'm not sure if this kind of discourse is implied in modern army diet in Russia, but young privates still eat it a lot.

Having lived on C-Rations off and on for a year in Nam, I can tell you, the most needed item to keep them edible is Tabasco Sauce. These small bottles of wonder pepper will cover the worst ration flavor and make it something, while not enjoyable, but passable for needed energy, and satisfies the hunger developed after humping a PRC-77 through the jungle. I always carried one bottle somewhere on my person for just that reason, you never know which meal you will get when the case is opened and the meals distributed.

I have a suggestion for you on your cherry drink. I normally put a little warm water over sugary drinks first to completely mix the sugar. I only add enough to turn into a syrup. I stir until it gets syrupy. Then I add the cold water. Always does the trick.

MRE's remind me of when my dad lost his house and he said "Were going camping". We camped in San Bernandino mountains for about 6 months stocked up on canned food. Just as we were running out of food, some prisoner firefighters who, if i remember correctly, were also camping, gave us a massive bag of snacks and some MREs. After scraping by on spam and cornbeef hash, it tasted better than anything I'd ever had in my life. The blueberry cobbler MRE was like fine dining.

[@danromoda]

What happened after that?

[@Okay4mee]

@@danromodawent back to LA area and lived in a homeless shelter on skid row for about a year and a half with my mom(available women's and men's shelters were seperate and far away). Got horrible foot fungus from bas hygiene, wearing the same shoes for over a year, and walking all day every day(mom loved to walk). Luckily there was a drive one day we stumbled across, where they took care of homeless peoples feet. Probably would've ended up with gangrene if it wasn't for that. After the homeless shelter the courts did a reassesment of how fit she was as a parent. I hadn't been in school for almost a year so I was put in fostercare and lived at a number of different homes, eventually I was lucky enough to end up in a fosterhome in a nice community with million dollar homes(SoCal, so not a mansion or anything, just a really nice house). I then lived happily ever after. OK there is more to the story but I could be here typing all day lol

Recently ordered a Russian ration in the same style. Same packaging with a similar menu and exactly the same issue with the coffee. The coffee had burst and the entire ration was covered in a fine coffee powder. It was the same brand of coffee too: "KOɸE" on the label which probably just means "coffee." My best guess is that the pressure in the coffee pack was off and it exploded during air transit. The ration was fine otherwise but I imagine some soldiers would be pissed off without their coffee.
