Premade and pre-packaged sandwiches are a new invention now?

BOW BEFORE THE CANDWICH!

I don't know if my review thread still has my experience eating a prepackaged MRE Pepperoni sandwich.

I'm guessing the tin can is the food here?

I don't really understand. It isn't really even a pre-made sandwich since you have to squirt the ingredients on.

One of the few saving graces is that it isn't premade.  Can't understand why anyone would want to pay $3 for a small PB&J sandwich, though.

If it's anything like MRE peanut butter, yeah.

I've been thinking about a possible future need of going into suvivalist mode ever since the Japanese nuclear disaster.  My conclusion is that canned food is best in such a situation, because it requires no refridgerator and no cooking.  Only a can opener.  In this case it doesn't even need one.

Reading the thread title, I immediately assumed this would be some Canadian atrocity.

What's a grain of rice in a empty sink?

An Ethiopian that's been throwing up all night.

Anyways, link doesn't work Monkeybutt. FIX IT PLEASE.

And to think, they probally spent large sums of money researching this. Money that was granted to them when someone thought it was a good idea.

This product isn't from the UK.  I'd bet total R&D was tiny, since the product uses a series of innovations that have been available in the US for decades.  The Brits would have to start with discovering the aluminum can (not that aluminium shit), find some way to make edible bread, and then develop peanut butter, but it would probably be cheaper just to buy this from the US manufacturer, if you want it.

I once had my hands on one of those but then I remembered your thread about it. So I had the weird jelly that comes in the MREs.

My conclusion is that in the scenario you envision people in Hong Kong will find themselves eating human meat or being eaten by other humans. :)

There's an excellent Ethiopian restaurant near my office.  Sometimes the service is poor, and in those cases, man do the jokes start to FLY. :)
