All of this reminds me that I am looking for dextrose tablets. Many years ago they were common. Individually wrapped 1x1x1/4" tablets. They have a slight orange flavor.

I still have one or two and have not found anything that quickly remedies that shakey, gonna crash any minute now, feeling when I am over-stressed. Instant energy, but of course it does not last like a good meal. However I think they have saved me many times as I find I am able to continue my task without the danger associated with the "shakies".

Probably not the best thing health wise, but they sure work. Anybody know where I can get them?

Try a pharmacy; many carry these tablets in the diabetic supply section of the store. Pete

What, no Baklava <img src="images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />? I've enjoyed bulgar and the many 'flat breads' from the middle east. If I could start an international fast food chain reflecting the international community here the clown would be in big trouble <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

alright chris.
you need a stove to heat up the meals.
on the plus side, instead of making a mess out of you mess tin, you boil you water to make a brew, while you cook you meal. you remove it from the outer pack but leave it in the inner pack or if you choose you can reheat it normally or just eat it cold. the meals are called boil in the bag
