What the heck is that? I've never heard of it!

Shelf stable bread was tested in 1990 and I was a guinea pig for natic. I think it came on line in 91 or so. The first bread was a small white loaf that could be cut in two to make a sandwich. Back then we had the ham slice so all you were looking for was the mayo. Sadly the ham slice left us in 2000.

Somewhere in the early 2000's they started making the round "burger buns" these along with the older style are part of the T-rat family and come packaged in singles and 6 packs. In the system they can be ordered separately or if you order certain T-rat items they are included. If your T-rat order includes a tray of BBQ pork 3 packages of 6 buns will go with it.

They have never been included in the MRE line. It is kinda hard to find in the surplus world but is not bad at all. All this useless information running around my brain. :) And officially they are good for 3 years @ 80 degrees. And as we all know drop the temp on MRE's and the life goes up.

Never made it past the planning stage. There is a burger out there that was in production but last I heard it had been pulled. I think there are some videos of it.

Now there is kind of a burger in some of the first strike rations that has a kind of "cold pocket" in a few varieties. Never had one myself but may pick some up just for the hell of it.

If you like to pack your own it is a great place since there are many items you can buy in small amounts to try and play with.

Thanks. I'll be driving out that way this summer and will look for a Winco to check out. When I'm in the SLC area, I always stop at Macey's; I do like that store.

Damn, that's too bad, I was hoping for a local source but if it's all bunk then no sense calling them up :).

There site is here. http://www.fsurv.com/default.aspx I see no mention of bulk foods but that does not mean they do not have any.

I'd appreciate it if you'd post up your impressions after you give them a look.
