Hi daphoto.HDR's of Humanitarian Rations for short are from the US.They give this when disasters happen like Myanmar or Katrina in 05'.They are ration packest that have enough food for 1 person for 72hrs. Is mostly vegetarian food items (no pork,beef or alcohol),this to be used bya a large group of people of different ethnic groups.

Errr,
HDR's have ~ 2200 calories, and are meant for one day only, and are basically beans, lentils, and more beans... :?

I'd like to thank daphoto for a fair trade, and a good experience. a 3:1 ratio isnt' great, but damm I wanted another RCIR and I wasn't really in the position to pay for it this month. It's Menu #5, Veal in White Sauce, Chicken in basquasise sauce. Tuna in sauce hors d'oeuvre.
unnamed soup.
cheese spread
biscuits.
bev bags
my lumps
funky fruit bar
chocolate bar (probably my fav)
gum, caramels, sweets
paper towers
reheating kit that I think we're familiar with
6 water purification pills.

Nice. The chocolate bar will be gone first, I just love the crunchy not soo much milk choc taste/mouth feel.
