    • @Just1Nora

      You really don't want to cook anything directly in the flame of those fuel tablets because most of them contain toxic and even carcinogenic ingredients that you don't want in your body...it's fine if the flames hit the outside of the can because you're not going to eat the can. Plus, I've heard the taste is not nice. I always consider warming the bread as well, and I guess it might fit in the bottom of the canteen, or you could wedge it higher into the canteen with the lid on and a tiny bit of water in the bottom to steam it. I think it's generally meant to be dunked in either the coffee or porridge or slathered with the jam.
      Dark bread seems to be most popular in eastern Europe, but it's a taste that Americans and Japanese just don't generally have a palate for. We're used to light breads and sweet foods, including bread, so dark sour bread is just...meh, to most of us. I like it if it's fresh, but once it starts to get dry then it's less appealing; though I can eat French bread right until it turns practically into croutons.

    Good review.
    Years ago I learned during my both U.S and Estonian military service times that a good pair of Scissors works far better then using a knife to open up Military Sustenance Rations MRE's etc.
    Reason being the Scissors make for more precise non comprimising cuts where you can reuse the plastic packets to store food in or even other items in.
