Oooo La La Time for taste of French fighting food.
I have heard very good things about the french cuisine in rations I'm very excited to try for myself
A special thanks to those who helped me find this!
Lets get started
2005 French RCIR Menu 5 Sans Pork
Sealed up in great shape, Its a larger box than i expected
After the wrapper is off everything still looks good, no smells either
A look inside:
Opens from the top, with a tab to close it back up
Neatly packed not much rattle room
Contents:
Sealed packet
These are the contents of the package
Hot Chocolate, 3x Coffee, 2x Sugar, Salt, Pepper, and i think instant milk

Orange fruit bar:
It feels like a jelly candy through the wrapper
Fruit Nougat Bar:

Good stuff mate, have a couple of these myself, can't wait see a review and to get a chance to try myself (too much work not enough play makes yowie a dull boy )
Rabbit pate with salty crackers while the soup cooks
Looks similar to other canned pate/spreads of other rations. The meat with gelatin is intimidating at first, but after sampling many just like this i now expect good things from this type of can.
On cracker
Close up
First few bites in, very good, rich flavor, spreads well on the crackers. It was sweeter than i expected, not like roasted rabbit at all, more like a sweet spam with less fat and rabbit instead of pork flavor
Soup is ready, thick, smooth texture to the broth, asparagus flavor, not over powering just right.
Great start to the ration, good crackers, good pate, good soup. Higher than average all around.
