That is a fantastic Birthday Present! My Birthday this week too, no rations though!

The menu looks amazing, I have tried Menu 4 previously, I was mightily impressed. Lots of nice things await you and your children.

Bon Appetit!

I can recommend using finely cubed Spam (original flavour) as an alternate to minced beef in a Ragu. Just use garlic and chopped onions, fresh tomatoes and a little red wine, then toss in fried spam and simmer for about an hour. Maybe some basil and tarragon too with a bayleaf if the mood takes. You...

Nice load of pictures! It never ceases to amaze me how much food and beverage items are in one of these 24 hr RatPacks. So many drinks! so many tastes and textures. A cornucopia of easily eatable delights! I think my obsession with these rations stems from my watching the 'Colditz' drama series on B...

Thanks for the kind responses everyone. Today - this: https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8629/28423081316_cb4a8d7296_b.jpg Sausages (turkey) with vegetables. https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8809/28423091246_902c600030_b.jpg This was okay, but not wonderful. The sausages are the same type as in every other ...

Next up The Vegetarian all day breakfast. I do not know which Ration pack issue these come from, but I bought a whole load of these for a family camping holiday recently (The kids love them and since my Daughter is a vegetarian, they worked out really well. First off, into the boiling pot for ten mi...

Chicken with Tomato/Feta was without question a love/hate meal. You were one or the other. Well, mostly. I liked it, but it left me very "feta belchy" for hours. So maybe it didn't like me. But it's gone now, likely a result of that love/hate aspect. No longer on the menu list. Really? So we say fa...

Well, I had the Beef Tacos. It was scrummy, but the tortillas were a bit stuck together in the packet, meaning I couldn't get a bit large enough to wrap around the ground beef Taco mix which was a shame. I should have added crackers to it! Could have done with some cheese and lettuce on top and I us...

Ah, OK. I have just read a few threads about CCC! I understand the reference now. I think neither of them look appealing. The Feta Chicken has, at least, the advantage of being a solid piece of chicken breast as opposed to a recon, but I still wouldn't eat another one. If I ever get hold of a CCC I ...

Worse than CCC?
(Just kidding)

Do you mean 'C' Rations?

Sorry not to get your reference.

I was so disappointed in this entree, I questioned my desire to try out more menus.

I know I'll not be trying this one again!

Nice review video, sir. I received one of these MREs recently, there weren't many menus on offer and I plumped for this one as it sounded interesting and I had an urge to try the crackers with cheese and jalepeno spread - as you say, the crackers and cheese was sublime. However the entree... https:/...
