Great thread idea. I was never in the military but for some reason I love seeing what's in those MREs and the various ways to prepare stuff, what different countries consider essential etc. A while ago I came across a youtube channel by a guy who reviews MREs from around the world, would I be stepping on your toes if I posted that as a supplement?

Did not expect to see these guys in this thread. They're all over the organic food stores around here, and they're actually quite expensive, although part of that is probably the usual "organic" markup. The Spicy Lime flavour is pretty good.

I vaguely remember reading that the plumpy nut producers specifically avoid making the stuff commercially available, and I theorize that this might be because they're specifically for emergency relief and extremely cheap and the last thing people who rely on them need is that tasting it becomes a trend on youtube and folks in the first world buy them in bulk, because they really do need every single one that's made. But that really is pure conjecture on my part.

I don't think it has much commercial appeal. It's basically a medical product and not really made with an eye on its suitability as a snack, but rather calorie and nutrient density. And in the end, it's probably not different enough from peanut butter to sustain itself as a product. After looking into it some more, the company that makes it also wants local producers to be able to build distribution networks on it, rather than grant licenses to industry giants who'd use their existing infrastructure to put the locals out of business. Patent runs out this year though, so who knows, we might actually get some knockoffs. e: there did apparently used to be a charity where you'd sign up to get a few sachets and could document your experience with it, the idea being that you'd raise money for further famine relief not unlike the ice bucket challenge, but that website seems to have disappeared long ago.

Destroy the supply shed and drop a beans ration in its place.

I met some pirate reenactors at a party once that mixed us drinks made of rum, raw cocoa, black pepper and probably one or two other things. They made a big thing of how spicy and nasty it was and, without meaning to boast, me and a friend just looked at each other and downed ours without blinking. Nasty was about the right word, though. Now that I think about it, that sounds less like a drink and more of a voodoo ingredient. Possibly I'm now a zombie.
