Re: Heating MREs in hot water

I boiled a couple of pork ribs entrees in my rice cooker today and steamed some red potato's at the same time.
(the potato's were better than the ribs...) :(
Quick and easy!

Re: British WWII Ration Part found on french beach ???

I don't know about that date, commercial PE wasn't available to the public until the early '50s...
See Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene
More likely a British tourist tossing trash...

Re: Japanese Navy Rations of the WW2 era

In WW2, my father had to eat Japanese rations for a while, as the Navy dumped the troops off on an island, then took off before the supplies were unloaded... He said some of it was good, some not so good, and a lot of it was just .... strange. Plus, opening a can was interesting, you never knew what...

Re: UK 1 day 10 man ration box

How are these used?
1 per squad or multiple boxes for larger units?
And there must be a HUGE cook kit for all that stuff!

Re: MRE Flavor Box, Also new member

I think it's a great idea, but...
I'm not sure a bag of various powders will go over with the Brass Hats.(and drug sniffers)
Commercial labels would help, I think.

BTW, Welcome to the Forum!!!
