I don't know what happened, we(Americans) had a free flow of foreign rations, into US, until about 2.5 years ago. Can't get anything now, unless you know somebody, somewhere.

Oh, forgot. Bottle date is 9332.

They brought it back. Found in Menu 9. Bag date 0114. [attachment=0]Tabasco-Bottle-MRE 002.jpg[/attachment]

I'd rather go to Wendy's and pay 7.88 for a Double with cheese/Combo.

For breakfast, Beef Strips in a Savory Tomato based Sauce, for Lunch, italian Sausage with pepper and Onions in Marinara Sauce. U.S. Gov't price, sorry.[attachment=0]MRE-Single, US 003.jpg[/attachment]

Looks like we are back to 'crackers'. Mostly. They mostly come at night, Mostly.

What it appears to be. Does the job. The jerk-beef is fine. Scraps from production floor, but not bad. Something is better than nothing. Should be a hit with ops guys in the field. No problem. Team 1 of these with a first gen recovery trail mix. Winner. 8) [attachment=0]Recovery Mix 2 002.jpg[/attac...

I can get 2020 packed MRE's at U.S. Commissary, but have to pay U.S. Gov't cost + 5% surcharge. That means about $125/case. Only James Bond can afford that, so.

Steve was spot-on in his review, except he had the generation 1 Trail Mix-recovery. I'm afraid to open it, until I get a spare.[attachment=0]Italian 20.jpg[/attachment]

What happened to the fairly easy availability of foreign rations shipped to USA? I must have spent 2K on various foreign rats from 2014-2018. Now, can't get anything in US. WTF? Over. Never bothered me spending $40-50 on a fresh RCIR or EPa, etc. etc. MRE mountain went Toes-Up, the guy in Texas does...
