Re: The USDA is after me for ordering French Rations - IMPORTANT UPDATE POSTED April 8th!!! Everybody needs to read!

Good grief Mike what an awful experience.... I only hope that somehow this has been a 'perfect storm' of an overzealous official just happening to notice your particular Ebay transaction. Following this going on through official channels with no one in the chain having enough initiative or courage t...

Re: The USDA is after me for ordering French Rations

Well that's a good idea isn't it, 'not bound by EU Custom rules' eh? So, in fact we wont be importing anything into the UK to forward to the US or enjoy ourselves because OUR customs will reject the EU rations (and vice versa). No deal may have been an option if we had just done it straight away, bu...

Re: Question about US Customs...

Just some time ago i was trying to see if it was legal to have rations with amphetamines, since obviously those are for collectible purposes, but couldnt find much I would say that collectible rations with amphetamine are as immune from the law as collectible medical kits with morphine :D :D Mack

Re: The USDA is after me for ordering French Rations

I just hope they believe you when you tell them you have eaten them Mike.

I can just imagine a petty-bureaucrat thinking 'oh yeah right that's convenient, I bet he has got them hidden somewhere'...

In the end the only thing they can prove is their current absence from your property?

NEW British Ration Item

I have just read on the UK Armed Forces website that, starting from Monday, a new type of dish is being inserted into the 2019 menus for ORP rations issued to the British army. I am sure it will be the next thing on everyone’s ration bucket list! The food-tech chaps at Aldermaston have outdone thems...

Re: EXTREMELY RARE BRITISH "SPECIAL FORCES" RATION

I reckon I might know where the 'Special Forces' came from :-) I saw these listed on ebay UK a month or so back - pretty good price at around £80 for 10 I remember. They were definitely listed as 'UK Special Forces Rations'. Now who knows, but I can say they are rare as far as supply goes and I have...

Re: French rations, price

I guess the cat is already out of the bag with this :cry:

However, just to mention that the Ebay UK seller I mentioned earlier (from China, different name, same advert and even lower price) is 'no longer a registered Ebay seller'.
That seller had about 50 sold last time I looked.

Mack.
