For the first time I had an opportunity to taste a Croatian ration. I got it from Crombat Rations team - thanks a lot !
The ration is "German style" - packed in a cardboard box, with no additional items like cutlery, heater etc.
The overall impression is very good - it is tasty. made of good quality ingredients and have some "homemade taste"

The crackers are the best I've ever had in rations - crunchy, not sweet not salted, baked on one side. The luncheon meat is very homogenous, tastes decent, but not my favourite one, the honey is fine. The kavabons should be more "coffee" for me.

the lunch:
beef soup, beans with bacon, sports drink, crackers, paprenjak, coffee candies

The soup was very good, not artificial. The entree (the "hamburger" name cheated me ;) ) was good, very fatty, because the bacon was chunks of pork lard/belly, but with the tomato sauce tasted good. No need for seasoning (BTW - there are no salt/pepper/spices in the ration)
Paprenjak is a kind of cake like gingerbread cake, but not with so many spices and sugar. You can really taste the black pepper (the name comes from it).

dinner
the pate was very smooth and meaty, despite of the pork liver. Papaja was very good. The sardines are premium quality - big and tasty ! The lemon tea was quite decent

Overall - a very good ration, try it if you have a chance. I have also some cans from the same company (Podravka) and I'm very curious about it.

Great ration! Saw the review on YouTube once it was posted up.
Everything there looked very good, although I'm not a huge seafood fan, so I probably wouldn't particularly like the sardines.
Look forward to the next one!

Looks like a nice ration! Only thing I am not sure of in there is the coffee candies.... I am not big on coffee anything!
