Hi Just thought id mention that we import many RCIR's from france in original sealed ( glued ) factory boxes of 12. Although i am not sure why they are white label, we do get the odd one in these cases of 12 every once in a while. Also we get individal RCIR's that are sealed by glue, tape and strap...

I just opened my first case B produced in 2021 (insp. 3/24). Can confirm that menu #14 still is the beloved "Creamy Spinach Fettuccine". I may be the only one who can say this, but I like the "Creamy Spinach Fettuccine." It's not the best looking ration when you open the retort pouch, but I think i...

Thought I'd share this video from the 60s.

Great deal with jlfletc777!

RCIR arrived quickly and he loaded the box up with extras. Thanks again

Thanks, James!

So, I bought three Accessory Packets off eBay. I decided to open the two packs that were the worst of the three. They seemed OK from the outside, although much of the printing had been rubbed off the packs. This was the first pack I opened: IMG_0511.jpg Although the pack appeared intact, it looks to...
