Hello and welcome too :-)

I´m quite new too here. But it is a nice place to write and read about rations!

I have a long way to go for me. But I´m a lucky guy because I have both cases (A and B) from the British Army. That is the positiv effect that the British Army has still some troops in Germany. (the same counts for the US MRE´s)

so many greetings from Germany

Distinguished diners,
thank for the welcome. This will be my 2nd case of british 24hr ration packs. i go camping so there are a win - win situation. i have had an american MRE but to be honest it failed expectations. i will try and try again.

in the new year, i`m going to hopefully get some european MREs. i would really like to try spanish, french, and i might try and go get one of them Norwegian dinners.

so far my favourite component is the rasberry drink in the brit pack.

i`m also new to FRH technology, and i love it.

You should definitely try a 24hr Russian ration on one of your camping trips. They are massive, delicious, and taste homemade. Plus Russia has like 10 different 24hr MRE types, its kind of ridiculous. I mean, just look https://mremountain.com/collections/for ... ks/russian

Welcome to the world of MRE's, they are hit and miss for sure! Honestly the UK ration packs are in my opinion one of the best rations available in the world, that said I wouldn't go out of my way to spend a bunch of $$ on obtaining MRE's.
