What should be my next ration?

I have been really looking forward for more rations lately. I haven't had any for a while but I looking forward to broaden my palette. Many of you are far more knowledgeable on rations than I so I let you guys help me decide.
- Kazakhstan 24 hour ration
- First Strike Ration
- Current issue green bag 24h Ukrainian ration
- Gulf War Era case of Vintage MREs
- Veitnam Era LRRP
Most of these are within a similar price range. (FSR obliviously being the cheapest)
I'm also open to any other ration ideas.

Kazakh is awesome. I thought FSR sucked but I have only tried 3.

Going off your list I would skip the following, Vietnam LRRP, GW Era MRE case, unless previously frozen as this stuff is HIGHLY likely to be inedible. The FSR's are ok but def. nothing special. The two foreign rations you have listed I have not tried either, but the Ukrainian ration does not look to good to me. I would vote for the Kazakh ration <-- but still this one does not look too good to me....
I would personally try and pick up some UK, Dutch, French, or German ration packs if you have never tried them!

I've been to the website, however, the rations menus that I wanted where sold out. Any other recommendations? I know there are chances that the vintage rations may have gone bad but you have point.

Personally, I have had great luck with Ebay UK, I have also used Ebay.de too. As always, shipping is going to be high on this stuff. You might want to shoot BlackDogBob a PM, I think he had some UK rations awhile back. Housil on the forum is the go to guy for the German EPA rations too.

I have a few left. Also have a couple French, some Polish, couple different types of Russian, and a ton of IMPs. Also have Polish, German and Lithuanian in the pipeline.
