Very interesting! You will have to do a taste test and compare these to the older US Military metal tray rations.

So that's what's in one of those! I had seen on the side of them that they had a chart of items and a chart of menus:

- Source - eBay
I wonder if there's a supplement that goes with these or if it's paired with whatever's available.
