Hi guys - I'm a new member who has recently gotten caught up in MRE's, with the internet videos and the like. I've gotten my hands on a few, all US MRE's so far - and am looking for other places to buy more in Toronto, or that ship from within Canada.
I was hoping some of the board members might be able to help or to point me in the right direction.
There's one additional wrinkle, other than being in Canada I'm also a Vegetarian, so I'm specifically hunting for Vegetarian meals.
I would really appreciate any help, advice or offers.
Thanks!

Thanks guys, BTemple and I shot each other a few PM's and he had some helpful advice.
Workman MRE, do you have a list of your favourite "animal free MRE's"? I would love to know your absolute "must try" vegetarian MRE's.
So far I've only had American issue - and I might be picking up some more soon!

Hello SystemCrashOverRide
* Disclaimer* This rating scale is based on my Tastes. I like flavorful food made with fresh organic ingredients that are dairy/egg and meaty free. So you can Imagine its a struggle to find good tasting food in a MRE....WRONG! Check it out!
....HERE we go!~
(Note; All but #2 have dairy and egg. But are still Vegetarian. #2 is Vegan!)
#1 "Norwegian Arctic Field Ration, Cous-Cous and spinach-Vegetarian" 1300 CAL, Meal 23- best by 2018
This beauty has a dehydrated main course that is amazing! Tasted like a complex Herb stuffing! My favorite Coffee to date!
Here is the tasting....
#2 The Animal Free MRE, "WorkmanMRE" 2017
The first ever vegan MRE! his was a prototype created exclusively for our channel. It was supper fresh and had amazing components. This was hooked up for me with double coffee! This prototype has extra sides and a few extra spice packs(Honey and Parmesan) that are not going into the final product! It will hopefully go into production early this year! It was created by "BlackDogBob!" (Stud!) You can check out the web sight, https://custommre.com/
#4 Canadian IMP, Baked Beans Menu # 4 ,2015
This sweet little number blew me away on quality and flavor! It did have a Beef Jerky side snack, but my budys traded for it! I believe this is the only Canadian Veg. Killer Coffee!

#5 HDR, Humanitarian daily Ration. Rad label.
The yellow original cover I opted not to purchase yet. (More of a collectors item rather than Dinner) The red Label was stored really nice, It was in mint condition on the exterior and interior. All components were tasty! Older and american made, but simpler ingredients and a vegan based main course. Negative= NO COFFEE!
Our tasting, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrSQhK_xQwk
There are the top 5 of my list. There are more in the mail, Ill update as I go! Let me know how you do also!
SystemCrashOverRide, how is the veggie MRE hunt GOING?

I had my first IMP an hour ago! #4 Baked Beans. No jerky in mine, instead it came with oatmeal, yogurt drink, coffee, two sports drinks, and fruit salad. I really enjoyed it!
It's funny you know, flavour-wise, nothing I've ever had in an MRE has been great... But somehow they blow my mind. Maybe I set the bar really low mentally?
I dunno but I need to get my hands on more. I need a cheaper source than ePay!

Have you messaged BTemple? He got the Canadian angles without going into the states. If you save up the British and Norwegian are where it's at!

Anyone local? I've managed to get my hands on a number of IMP's, but would love to trade for more Vegetarian options.
Anyone on here from the GTA?
