Entrees only please?

Hello guys (and girls I suppose, but do we have any, or have they, unlike us, mastered the art of "just order a pizza ffs" ?)

Anyway, I'm looking for some entrees only.
Preferably UK if you have them, but MREs are fine.
2005+ dates ideally.

The reason for this is that I often leave the other items, so I now have piles of FRHs, accessory packs, crackers, UK bits etc.

If anyone can help, PM please.

Thank you.

"2005+ dates ideally"??

Now you're just being a rations-snob.

I still have a bunch of cases of entrees from 1999...and my newest are from 2003.

Guess I should start eating into them, eh?

Well, I keep sticking to the principle of buy 'em fresh, so I can keep 'em long term. Problem is, I eat 'em. All gone.
So, yeah, any entrees will do really.
My first ever was a 10 year old pork chop, so it can only get better from there. All the ones since have been 2004 so I've been quite lucky I suppose.

"Ration-Snob".......you gotta love it!

I do believe Kman that it may be time for you/we/us to develop an official MRE Info Index of MRE related slang.....and other nasty ration terms.

One a side note, I thought of you the other day, C-Rats. I was watching a UK tv show, and in one scene there was a US Army Sergeant eating, and he was putting something on his food that a UK soldier watching him didn't recognize so he was curious. The UK soldier asked what he was doing, and the reply was "Haven't you heard? The US Army can't fight without tabasco".

I can help you out with a few meals but would prefer to swap for an equivalent Spanish item?

There. I'm validated. I can die a happy C-rat now.
