Hi Garron,

in a 2004 type III are hamburger pattys in tomato sauce and vegetarian chilli.
The type III is without pork.

At german ebay you have to pay 5 to 8 euro for one epa.

Danke jubifahrer

It sounds quite nice, £12 is about 15-17 Euro

On ebay.co.uk EPA's are a rare thing, only 1 or 2 are listed, same for MRE.

It is the same for me, British 24-hours packs are common and sell for £3-10.(depends on the age and menu)

EDIT:

i take a look online. shipment for two or three EPA will kost 13,90 euro to GB.

so if you by 3 epas for maybe 20 euro an add the shipment of 14 euro, you will pay 34 euro. that will bee £23 , means 8 for each one

Hello Garron
Im over the border in England, you want to know your EPA so here goes.
Hamburger mit tomaten is beef patties in sauce.
The other main meal is a vegetarian stir-fry with tofu-nicer than it sounds.
The small packets are two beef sausage type spreads one with pistachios,
the kase mit grunpeffer is cheese spread with green peppers-nice and spicy like American cheese with jalapeno spread.

(My fav)
You also get a couple of jams various flavours.
Right hartkeks? these are like biscuits, digestives but harder.
The can of brot is bread-rye bread German style-I love this stuff, goes great with beer very good for you. Volkenbrot I belive the German name is.
You got various other bits including coffee(quite decent), instant tea(not my cup of) and powdered fruit drinks-full of vits-good for hangovers.
Much of the German stuff is quite good quality, maybe not to Brit tastes but good nevertheless.
Enjoy your EPA Garron I've ate a few myself.
BTW has anyone had a Spanish Racion?

To be honest jubifahrer I had never really thought of buying EPA from ebay.de, and I thank you for puting the idea to me, seems like the best way to get them.

The guy i bought it from is a UK solider stationed in Germany, so hes made a profit from it, (as hes a serving solider I don't mind)

Hi Enchilada,

Seems like both of our luck was out with the rugby yesterday

it sounds quite nice, the tofu mayby not too my taste but I will give it a try.

I am quite used to german food stuff, as my mother lived there whilst my grandfather was in the army (1960's and 70's) so i grew up around it, on my visit to germany last year to see family it was the same, I quite like german food.

I don't think the Germans drink much tea,

The MRE cheese and jalapeno was great so I am looking forward to this

I don't doubt german quality at all.

Thanks

Garron

Doesn't it really say Something american-style vegetable chili ? Or does the Suda part mean ohne or something similar? I'm being lazy and not babelfishing it.
