Polish MRE. Sausages in sauerkraut. (Bigos z kielbasa)

It's a while since I've tried an MRE, and this one was sent by Michal some time ago.
It's a traditional Polish style meal based on sausages in sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is a very common dish of fermented cabbage used in many cultures for its long shelf life. The stew also contained small lumps of meat in amongst the soft sausage slices. It was nice. I ate the lot.

The heater pack was a bit sluggish. The bag it was in seemed to be resisting penetration by the water, but once I got it going it promptly got very hot, although it then seemed to fizzle out quite quickly afterwards. I should have brought it back through from the kitchen and filmed it bubbling and steaming.
I think the food is sterile enough in the sealed container to be fine either eaten cold or heated by whatever means you have. I decided to give it a quick spell in the oven at 90C as a precaution.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
