I found the interesting report about the ration of every country in the world.

I looked at the Israeli ration which became new for the first time.
And I was surprised at Tanzanian ration!

Very interesting, but also very far from rations of "every country in the world."
The four-man/one day concept of the Israelis is quite unusual.

We have this too, called "EPa leicht":

Thank you laughing_man for finding yet another rich and fascinating source of Ration info! These are some really nice & clear stock photos of various International Rations with very good basic information on each.
Housil, that EPA leicht is a nice Ration, I wonder how many calories each man gets per day off that? - I had a Slovenian Ration once, and those Travel Lunch entrees were in those as well. Good stuff!

Between 2.000 - 2.800kcal. It´s a little less like from an regular EPa.
