I had Durian flavored Ice cream. It was seriously g-ross! Tasted like onion-garlic ice cream.

it's great for biscuits and muffins too. I've used sparkling water for biscuits and dried apples and sparkling apple cider for a sweet version. it's awesome with crispy bacon and cheese curds folded into the mix. its a nice, blank slate for your bread making kneeds (get it?)

hey ChicnDumplin. Are you or his family located near a trader joe's? I work there and I have a coworker who's husband who is stationed abroad. My older brother is in the service and he has also given me lots of tips, hints and advice for sending food out. I've send him care packages as well as to my ex husband who had been stationed in Iraq.
There are so many ready to eat items at TJ's and it won't break the bank. Tons of canned goods like beans, chili, tomatoes, soups. There are also gourmet soups, rice milk, almond and soymilk, pear and applesauces, almond and peanut butters and more in sealed containers that are not glass and safe to ship overseas. TJ's also has a plethora of nuts, dried fruit, fruit bars, freeze dried fruit, trail mixes, pretzels, pits chips and the like. My brother always appreciated those shipments.
You can send cereals with some vanilla flavored almond milk (which is so yummy), and uncooked or cooked bags of rices (brown, wild, medley, jasmine). There are simmer sauces, Indian curried meal packets, Thai peanut sauce, Annie Chun's noodle bowls for cheap, tuna, olives, etc. There are plenty ready-to-eat, heat/vacuum sealed entrees that are shelf stable and have no preservatives to boot. Good luck.
