What foods should I mail to a soldier in Iraq?

Rachel F asked:


My husband is a soldier in Iraq and he works the night shift out there. They don’t serve meals at night and so he has to wake up early to eat or go hungry. He asked me to send him ready-to-eat food like tuna and ramen noodles. I just need other ideas of non-parishable food items that I can send in the mail and can handle the weather being 130 degrees F without any refridgeration. Any ideas would be apreciated. Thanks.

      I addition to the ramen and tuna here are a few suggestions:

      You can get small cans of chicken, and shrimp. Both of these can be easily added to a ramen packet or eaten by themselves

      Hormel has a number of products that he would probably enjoy. (Corned Beef hash, Various canned stews & Chilli for example)

      Canned fruit like pinapple rings, mandarin oranges, whole peaches or pears. (NOT fruit cocktail ) Pinapple and oranges have the advatage of comming in small cans that would be single serve.

      Include a decent hand operated can opener.

      Powered drink mix. If you get these in packets not only are they easier to store you can use them as packing material to help pad the box.
