German Bundeswehr 1993 lightweight ration

Post by The_MRE_Tester » Tue Jan 30, 2024 6:16 pm

Hey,
seems like this is my first real post here!
I reviewed a German bundeswehr ration, lightweight, type B. it was Produced 1993, but still mostly edible
Here is the ration and its contents:

I had three of them, i got them really cheap a year ago or something. They were in terrible condition (mice holes, humidity damage...) i cleaned them and sold two of them and kept the best for myself.

Here is a list of all the contents:

main dishes:
• potato bean stew
• noodles in herbsauce
snacks:
• instant hot chocolate
• 2× nutrient powder chocolate
• 2× nutrient powder vanilla
• multivitamin tablet orange flavored
• magnesium tablet lemon flavored
• calcium tablet lemon flavored
• (chocolate bar)
• 3× instant coffee
• 3× coffee whitener
• 3× sugar
• salt
accessories:
• water purification tablets
• matches
• paper tissues
• plastic bag

i tried it all out a few weeks ago to post on my instagram (@the_mre_tester) and it was surprisingly good for its age!
Only the nutrient powders and the noodles in herb sauce were inedible (probably because of the high milk content) but they definitely smelled horrible.

the main dish was a potato bean stew i really enjoyed

the noodles:

the hot chocolate was one of the best i had for a long time:

and all the vitamin drinks were still drinkable (but only okay, not the best)

and i only mixed one of the nutrition powders:

here is my overall rating

• potato bean stew [8/10]
• noodles in herbsauce [-/10]
• hot chocolate [10/10]
• nutrient powder chocolate [-/10]
• nutrient powder vanilla [0/10]
• vitamin tablets [7/10]

Overall taste: [8/10]

overall this was a great experience!
After i saw a review on youtube from someone who bought one from me, i expected to throw away everything ( he said nothing was edible anymore) but as a pleasant suprise it was a great ration to try out!
Has anyone else tried this ration, or has more information for me? i could not find much online!
Hope to post more of my reviews here in the future (is this the right way to it?) and i happy about every new follower i get, i have 39 other reviews online and many more are planned! (https://www.instagram.com/the_mre_tester/)

Thx for your first review and sharing your pictures. I also have two of them but never dared to open them.
