Nice, but I miss the Dutch one.
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.

Yup... that was the same person who did the photos.

Personally, I think they should have kept some of the packaging, or at least staged it more appealing. For example, the RCIR has so much more food than what is pictured. They only showed one meal from the Norwegian pack.

I also liked how they added the skittles to menu 2. Looks like 2009 version?

Did anyone notice the Swedish ration? That by far that is new to me and perhaps one of the most hard to get rations. Lithuania is a rarely seen one too.
