Susan actually there is a modern version of pemmecan. It uses peanut butter instead of fat. It doesn't last as long in storage but if you like peanut butter it ain't half bad.

I hate peanut butter.

Thank you all lots of info the kit is for 1 man so lots to decide food and other things.

Again Thanks

Mainstay is a survival 'cake' that looks like cornbread mix before baking. It has a slight lemony flavouring and comes in foil packets of 9 bars each. It is not at all unpleasant to eat, boring maybe. I dined on a unit for 3 days. It was more than adequate nutritionally. On day four I went to a pizza parlour. Remember, there are 3 pertinent diets; the one our body needs, the one our culture/religon dictates and what advertising tells us is good.

Those coastgaurd approved rations are good if you have about the same weight in peanut butter, almond butter, etc. Good eats

Oh my gosh, a soul mate!

Peanuts and peanut butter give me headaches if I eat them. I eat practically every other kind of nut and I love lightly roasted pecans when I can afford them.

The odd thing is I like regular M&M's which have peanuts as part of their list of ingredients, and there are hot Chinese recipes that use peanuts and I like them and suffer no ill effects.

For whatever reason Peanut Allergies and Reactions are worse than other nuts, and peanuts (as well as other nuts) can trigger Migraines. Peanut allergies in children seem to be espeacially bad.

Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.

No food in my 72 hour or 144 hour kits. In larger kits I use Mainstay rations exclusively.
