I was wondering if the word Giessen has a specific meaning in German?

Thank you for that information. I truly wish I had taken more time to explore the country, learn the language and culture while I was stationed there. I live on the West Coast of Florida. We have a pretty good size German population here in Cape Coral. A lot of them build their summer houses here, stay a few months and rent them out to their friends as vacation homes the rest of the year. It is not uncommon to be in the grocery store and hear German spoken. A few years back there was quite a commotion over the Europeans going topless on the beach. It never bothered me, but this is the Bible Belt and they put a stop to it. I wish someone would open up a German restaurant. I could go for a Jaeger-Schnitzel

I see we have a new mess Sgt in the making. Add another 24 portions and you have a full battery. I like the Paprika Version Better. But most of all, Roasted Hog. Pork and Kraut is good too.

Burnt food is better than no food. MRE's again. C's and Lurps too. Mabe not now since they are past the authorized use date. Dried food for use in the MKT's were not too bad. On the hoof is better if you can get away with it. I've never heard of a German Girl that couldn't cook atleast 7 good meals. Kristiana could cook 14 different meals. A change every two weeks. I can even cook, BBQ is my speciality. I learned to do hog in the ground from a Hawian Mess Sgt.

I did not have the luxury of having MRE's when I was in the military. We only had the C's. I did buy some MRE's for my trip in the Arctic. Not to shabby! The heaters did not work to well in the cold weather but it was a nice break from the dehydrated food we ate. They do seem to back up old plumbing a little bit tough

MRE's were designed not to have that much overhead. Your plumbing wasn't backed up, there was nothing there. I liked the Mexican Rice and Beans. Also the Tuna and Noodles. Hot Sauce too. What a Meal. I use to buy a case now and then from the commisary. I have them Just in Case. You never know when a blizzard strikes here. These are rotated stock, and are still within the shelf life. They will last longer than the stamp, but the must be kept cool and dry. They are expensive on the out side. I here 7 to 9 $$$ a meal. I haven't gotten any in a while, but $ 54.00 a case in some places. Remember Food is Food.
