United Nations force Ration

The ration of the U.N. forces is sold at the Japanese auction.
http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m59293325

It is written that this ration is made in France.
The price started for 10,000 yen.
(It exceeds US$ 100!)

Does someone have information about this ration?

for me: i havent ever seen this before. it looks like the finland one but its clearly french language on it written. and the one item shown (tuna fish) is made in the USA. a strange thing...

Thank you!

I did not know that the U.N. forces were making original ration.
I read with the book that the U.N. forces which were stationed to Macedonia were using the ration of Canada.
Although, as for the soldier of Canada, only one person participated, it is written that Canada offered many of rations.

The 3rd picture is a tuna of MRE.
The seller has said that it is an addition.

Taken from the page:

There is United Nations military ration MRE fighter feeding [mirimeshiomake],
Commodity explanation It is the ration of 1 days of UN specification.
MENU is OCCIDENTAL.

It is France make,
You think that it is unusual rather.

It is something which with not yet opening is not the blotch and the soiling etc in the box.

The appreciation time limit is to 2010, but
The case where it becomes eating we ask on self responsibility.

Recently it was introduced into MRE as rear [omake], TUNA
1 we acquire national welfare item set.
Notice As a food you do not sell.
Because it is exhibition as a military item
The case where it becomes eating we ask on self responsibility.

We ask with no claim no return no cancellation.
The method which from the nature of the commodity, is and only has knowledge asks bid.

For trouble prevention, before the bidding the self introduction column viewing.

Why do they call it "occidental" ?! Is it like all the "halal" and "kosher"-stuff?!
English language is first, than french. Would it be french made, french would be first to my opinion (Stef, isn´t it

)

Occidental just means 'Western' as in European/'New world'

Hi,
it looks French but I've never seen it before. I guess "occidental" means "beware: it's not kosher, it's not hallal, it's not hindu/vegetarian" so our UNO friends don't go to the hell because of us

It looks like the UN feeds its peace keepers with rations from the members countries specially France. Also it depends of the mission. And yes "Occidental" is to distinguish them from "Hallal"...

I found some pics of different types of rations used by the UN "bluehats"...Enjoy!
