Great idea...just remember to send him a can opener for the tuna...grin.
Seriously, not all the guys have access to a "real" kitchen with it's
utensils, though most do.  Keep in mind who you're sending it to and where
they are.  For instance, His Majesty could get a can opener, but the poor
guys eating MREs in the field may be a few days from one.
