Support our troops! Buy them a ticket home! Not to get too political on Christmas Day but, most Canadians couldn't find Afghanistan on a map!

There is Afghanistan. I do however hope that all of our boys over there stay safe and come home in one peace.

I still can't eat ham and pineapple.....ugh......the IMP selection has come a long way in the last 10 yrs. I did, however, love those cherry cakeish desserts.

Can't say we have either, but I don't eat them too often anymore...just what's carried on board the helo in case of emerg....last one I had was chicken taragon a few years back.

Gotta ask....what are the 4 fingers of death?

Mmmmm....crackers and pb.

The four fingers of death are 4 hotdogs that came in our MRE's.

I haven't seen them around lately, because they say the updated the menu's now.

I think any military meal that comes in a bag should be enjoyed by eveyone, not just us lucky folks.

Cheers

The Honey was a good treat along with the coffee crisps but having those omlettes at 5am was deadly. The bread? I can't believe they call that brick, bread.

The chili is good. I do miss the old tubes of PB and honey. The ketchup-type packs just aren't the same. I wish they would quit it with the passion fruit and mango juice crap. What happened to orange and grape? Damned gourmet chefs are running amok!!!
