Food in ready-to-eat form! These are surprisingly tasty, a bit suspicious-looking, quite large portions, and packed in typical strong Blå Band bags. These are cheaper to make than freeze-dried food so if you don't mind the extra weight, you get more food for your money. Can be eaten either hot or cold.

The food has a shelf life usually for two or three years. These won't turn bad after that, though. These do taste pretty nice despite being made in Belgium. The Blå Band company is, of course, Swedish.

Weight per package about 430 grams.

You can prepare this either by pouring the contents into a container and heating it or by putting the sealed bag in boiling water to avoid dishwashing. Or just eat it cold, not an impossible task at all.

Chili Sin Carne -
Avatessa pakkaus nokkaan tömähtää suojakaasun tjms. haju, mutta tämä ei ole edes paha verrattuna vaikkapa Snellmannin jauhelihoihin. Lämmityksen jälkeen voidaan todeta, että maku on laimea, mutta toisin kuten monien muiden survival ruokien kanssa tätä voi syödä ihan ilokseen. Mitäänsanomatonta mutta ei missään nimessä pahaa. Annos kuitenkin toi nälkäiselle 150 kg porsaalle kylläisyyden tunteen ja nyt jaksaa taas painaa töitä. Hyvää settiä!

Lihapullia ja perunaa kermakastikkeessa:
Yllätyin positiivisesti. Ei mitään mautonta tasapaksua mössöä, vaan niin kunnollista ruokaa, kuin tämmöinen teollisesti tuotettu ja ikuisesti säilyvä valmisruoka vaan voi olla. Annoskoon puolesta tämä oli minulle sopiva retkilounaaksi. Mielellään olisi syönyt enemmänkin, mutta kylläinen olo tuli, ja jaksoi jatkaa puuhastelua tauon jälkeen. Tulen ostamaan todennäköisesti jatkossakin, kun tarvitsen MRE-tyyppistä syötävää.

Mexican pata linseillä ja perunalla toi jotenkin mieleen brittien Hot pack -kenttämuonien curryt. Ei huono asia lainkaan. Pitkän reissun muonitukseen nämä painavat liikaa, mutta jos tarvitsee noin päivän tai kolmen reissuun jotain helppoa ruokaa, niin nämä (ja em. brittimuonat) ovat oikein hyvä valinta - kuumennus tarpeeksi lämpimäksi onnistuu vaikka esbit-paloilla kenttäpullon metallikuppiin sullottuna.

Lihapullat ja perunat kermaisessa kastikkeessa on ihan hyvää, ruuan maun vaan pilasi hieman liikainen kastike

Regretfully I have yet to find any dehydrated meals that I like.

I tried Chicken Thai with rice and vegetables and it was as bland as all the other makes.

It is OK, it will keep you going and is light to carry (provided you do not need to carry the water) but I would not eat it for enjoyment.

My dissatisfaction is with dehydrated meals in general, this being little different to the others.

kananlihapullat mausteisessa tomaattikastikkeessa ylitti odotukset, pitää hankkia lisää jossain vaiheessa, curry-kanan maistelu vuorossa seuraavana joskus tulevaisuudessa...

Surprisingly good food to eat room temperature straight out the bag. Only tried spicy & swedish meatballs but I enjoyed both. My sole complaint is the packaging. Durable and all, but why the hell is it vertical and not horizontal? It would be so much easier if it opened the wider way like the bla-band freeze dried meals.

The Swedish Meatballs. Get these. Worth the weight, especially after an afternoon drunk at camp. Had to dig them out for a very pregnant wife who remembered we had two packs stored away in the basement. Delicious!

MEXICAN PATA LINSSEILLÄ JA PERUNALLA.
Hyvää oli testi suoritettiin omassa kotikeittiössä.
Lämmitin ruuan lisäämällä hiukan vettä.
Maku mainio ja metsä olosuhteissa uskoisin olevan vielä parempaa.
Nyt kun tuote oli alennuksessa en nähnyt syytö olla maistamstta.
Suosittelen!
