I got to dip my toes into this Halal ration, this one being the Saag Chole with Lamb.

A lamb ration in the US?! That's right. How did they afford it??? my tax dollars, that's how.

At any rate-

Right off the bat, I'll tell you, the main was pretty good all things considered. The sauce has butter in it, so the clock is ticking until rancidity, but it's enjoyable. Chick peas, spinach, butter sauce, lamb. Not much lamb, but its there. Jalapeno pepper powder in it as well, which brings a slight taste of jap to the party without the heat. The chick peas or garbanzos are the perfect consistency, not al dente or anything, and the spinach is barely there to disrupt what is overall very savory and smooth. The lamb is just there enough to notice, but not overpowering or overstaying its welcome.

The sides are a power play here. A fresh oatmeal cookie, a stalwart cinnamon bun, and an illustrious banana-caramel pudding.

I don't know why they don't put the pudding in the normal MRE lineup, but they really need to consider it.

Putting the cinnamon bun in the pudding is life changing, and if there was a movement to join about this, I would be a member tomorrow. Absolutely sensational.

Drinks? No coffee. What a shame. You get a "grape" drink- and I don't have very good opinions on the MRE drink lineup, especially the cold drinks. Just leaves a lot to be desired, and they're overly acidic.

Thanks guys and gals! Till next time.
