Great Flavor, Convenient Package
Despite this food being mostly known in North America for being featured in the Metal Gear Solid games, CalorieMate has been a mainstay of the busy on-the-go Japanese lifestyle for quite some time. Each package of CalorieMate is divided into two foil pouches, and each pouch contains two blocks of the food. Each block is 100 calories, meaning that if you have one block it's a nice snack, and if you have a whole box it might replace a light meal. They're extremely dense but not difficult to eat; think almost like a dense shortbread cookie. Nutritionally, they're nothing to write home about; they certainly aren't meant to be a long-term solution. Still, in an emergency, it's a good thing to have on hand.The maple flavor is remarkably strong even from the first bite, and it's not just a hint of it. I love maple syrup and so biting into this to try it out was a delight. I've tried a couple of other flavors of the food before but I think this is my new favorite.My only complaint is that the packages I got had a very near "best by" date, only about 4 months. If you're buying these to put in an emergency kit or a get-out-now bag, make sure you keep an eye on their shelf life and rotate them out as you need to. Not that you'll complain too much if you end up eating the ones you're replacing.

ABSOLUTE NECESSITY
These are good for when you don't have a meal readily handy and need some nutrition in your body. I buy these any chance I can get and they are always so good.

Fully restore stamina!
If you buy this because of MGS3, congratulations! Otherwise I shall introduce you this yummy dietary supplement snack.Each box contains two small packets, and each packets contains two shortbread kind of cookies at the size of a finger.Each of the cookies contains 100 calories and all other nutrients that keep you fulfilled for hours from hungry.Taste is good, really really good, identical to the maple that you have with maple syrup for pancakes. It is little bit dry to taste so it is recommended to consume it with plenty of water as it works best when it expands in the stomach so it reach its performance to keep you full.Recommend? Yes.Buy again? Yes yes!

Tastes good and good for an emergency kit.
While there's a lot of people who try these thanks to a very specific video game, they're actually really nice for keeping in a ration pack in the car during the winter. I usually like to make my own over using one of those pre-built kits and these usually go in there as well as water and other items. It also helps that these maple flavor ones have a really nice taste to them, as long as you like maple.

Love it! :)
It's better than Shortbread biscuits to me! It's surprisingly filling when paired with water. I want to try chocolate next!

The word that came to mind eating these was 'Lembas'
These are like softish cookies/cakes and the maple flavor is nice without being overbearing. I would describe these as pleasant to eat without having a particularly strong taste either way: you'll eat these for the energy rather than culinary characteristics. Note that they can dry your mouth so have some water handy.One other thing to note: the nutritional value table shows that these are designed more as instant energy rather than long term meal replacements such as ensure or soylent.
