Ya, that's because the Germans made it. I've a few tin's of a French 'gourmet' ready to eat meal which isn't too bad straight from the can, but I find it much nicer after being nuked for a bit. The low cost airlines down here offer them as part of their in-flight meal selection. Yet, if I'm out & about on a job and I've access to a microwave I tend to use one of the other shelf-stable meals I've found. One of them's a cousin to Spam!
