These are really cool MRE and C-Rat parts, but I have never seen a "Mars" in a MRE before

Also interesting is the "Fruit Nut Cake", in my collection there are only "Fruit Cake"!

And I can see the good "Soup and Gravy Base, Beef Flavored" a really good item of the early MRE Accessory Packet B.

Finally the "Dehydrated Beef Patties", I still can remember (23 years later) the terrible taste!!

So long mreheater72

I think those round foil covered disks are chocolate disks with toffee crunch, found in b1 or b3 units in MCI's. I think I remember a mars bar in early '90s mres. Cool Pic. I'll give ya 20 bucks for the LRRP Chili con Carne. I'll eat it, too.
