Hello im looking for info on the menus of vietnam era MCI and LRRP rats.
i recall reading "chickenhawk" by robert mason and in it he mentions some C-rats which are never referred to again in any other book or novel.
Some other books also made mentions of meals that were discontinued after a time.

Additionally i have also been searching online for exactly WHAT was in the LRP rations. so far i know there's beef hash, chili con carne and spag + meat sauce.

Any heLP? pics would be nice.

Battlemaster365,

Hi, I can give some info though it might not be what your looking for. I have an older LRRP ration. This one I believe to be early 1970's and this is Menu No. 6 (Escalloped potatoes with ham) . I also have other LRRP rations that I have collected through the years though I don't know where they are at right now. Sorry; but I do have pictures of a LRRP ration from the 1980's if you are interested.

Haha i just found lrrp ration listing on wiki.
Thanks for your pic. Do you have any pics of a lrp rat, opened?

Battlemaster365,

I have pics of a 1980's LRRP ration, like I said I have others but there whereabouts are unknown at my house,

I think that this site is interesting:

MCI

LRP

This page has little information on LRP at the time of Vietnam, though regrettable.

here are some of my pictures :
