Available! Also, Review of rare Chinese PLA Compressed..things

Post by Faraway13 » Tue Aug 01, 2023 2:14 pm

Hey all,

Starting with the final line: it was pretty exciting seeing these as they are fairly scant on the market. I do need to sell some though to help with hospital bills. Scroll all the way to the bottom!
I’ve got:
6 of the M13 Compressed Rations
4 of the 900 Compressed BIscuits
2 of the menu 4 meal
2 of the menu 1 meal

Just got out from a long hospitalization with a mind bending balance on my account, but finally decide to try a short review on some fairly difficult to obtain rations. Today I will be trying out two sets of compressed rations. Skip this to the pictures if you want the downlow, or skip to the bottom if you want to buy, but here’s the background. My mother went through the Cultural Revolution where instead of schooling, all were mandated to do physical work in the rice paddies or fields. There was never enough to eat, and even though the fields seemed to be reaping crops, the countryside laborers were not getting proper nutrients.

This is the ‘Compressed Rations’. Luckily, I and my mother are able to read it all and transcribe whats essential (no ‘dental floss using lamb’ - seriously!).
Taste: Very much a crumbly lightly sweetened block. With some chewing and moistening, it turns into something resembling a sweet (with depth) oatmeal almost. Way way better than I thought it would be. 6.5/10.

We do love this one just slightly over the 900 compressed rations. It may be the slightly amped with a bit more sweetness to it, but the crumbly isn’t; as crazy crumby. Definitely going for this one again. 8/10. The convenience of both of these is that the biscuits in each box are cellophane wrapped into two packages, so you can keep the other half fresh while taking your time with the first.

Haha! Actually, they are helping me to eat more and hopefully put on some weight - they are flavored just right and easy to eat and completely non offensive in the best of ways (you know how some foods and some flavors are just too much or balance is not quite right and you really can’t eat too much of it too often?).

Thanks apmarsh!!! Those ‘compressed’ biscuits/rations are surprisingly delicious aren’t they! I really can’t think of anything made in USA that can directly compare to them…..if pressed (haha…. :roll: ) I’d say it tastes like a cross between crushed graham crackers, sweet evaporated milk, and some crushed nuts like cashews or macadamias or almonds. Delicious!! And they have proteins and fat for the long haul!
