An extremely well preserved example of yet another one of the worst MRE's ever produced. The translation from fresh to shelf stable, was unsuccessful in this curry dish from the Indian Subcontinent, making it's way to American trays through Savannah Georgia, Charleston South Carolina, and New York. It was also General George S. Patton's favorite dinner. A hopeful and patriotic approach to what could have been a terrific and well received menu, it didn't work out with the troops and was phased out after a 4 year service time, ranging from the year 2000 to 2004. Personally, I have a strange affinity for this menu, but many others didn't during it's prime time of usage 20 years ago. This is a fun one.
