It's chocolate milk (if you think about it, milk is just a term for liquified beef).

I tried coffee jelly with agar and I did not like it. I suspect I messed it up, it was kind of wetly crunchy in a rather unpleasant way. Maybe too much agar?

Yeah, I think it's back to gelatin for me--too bad since it seemed really promising while it was setting. Guess I'll have to find another use for all this agar I bought.

If you mix the agar into a cold liquid and let it sit, it dissolves more completely. If the liquid is hot or warm, the agar will clump and be grainy

That link from the tweet last page is is amazing, don't miss out: https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search?f%5Bsubject_facet_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Operational+rations+%28Military+supplies%29 I like these 3 variants of the same food:    Time to find out if the military food thread is still alive somewhere.

I've been told, though I'm not sure how true it is, that one reason that every MRE didn't end up as EFFICIENT DEHYDRATED BARS was that soldiers apparently had a habit of just eating them without rehydrating them first, which, uh, I'm not sure what that does to a digestive system. Feels kind of tempting, though. I want to experience the PEA BAR.

Mary Roach's book Grunt goes into the development of MREs and specifically MRE pizza and apparently it was very complicated. Also found this while trying to remember the name of the book. https://twitter.com/mary_roach/status/720350762895691777

Those freeze dried fruit bars in the early 90's were amazing though. I wish you could still get them

bob dobbs is dead posted:the eternal epic quest of mre makers is to actually get gi joe to eat it all Is that the quest? Contrary to that, I've heard it repeated a few times, though it has "urban legend" vibes to it, that the notorious WW2 "Chocolate bars" in rations were intentionally made gawdawful so that the highest energy and most durable item would be more likely to get saved for emergencies.

Whole lot of resources and time go into creating a single food for an MRE. Developing shelf stable, not-garbage tasting, and nutritious, food for soldiers and astronauts is extremely intensive.

I just tried using half as much agar as the recipe (and agar bag) called for and it was a lot better.

I would expect a lot of people posting in this thread know about it already, but on the topic of MRE chat Steve1989MREInfo's YouTube channel is a good watch, especially when he digs into leftover Vietnam/WWII era ration packs...or older. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZoHuMwZwTk
