I ate my very first MRE the other day. It was the maple pork sausage. I was actually pretty surprised at the taste. I recently got into them and this is my first comment on these forums. MREs are so fascinating. I really hope I don’t get too into them because they seem expensive. Hopefully one day I’ll get to try a foreign MRE.

Cheers!

Welcome! If you’re on a tight budget like me and want to try foreign rations, I recommend Lithuanian (8hr ~$20 after shipping) Polish SR (8hr ~$30 after shipping) and Russian IRP the white star; camouflage; or blue EMERCOM (24hr ~$40 after shipping) these are just prices based off my little experience but I would go for the Russian IRP if you’re looking to get the most out of your money since they’re packed with calories. French RCIRs are a little pricier but great taste/quality (bart is my favorite supplier). Only downside is they’re affordable but can take a long time to ship and I get antsy waiting for packages, especially going through US Customs.. Hope to see ya around.

Thanks for the suggestions. Do things often get held up at customs? Yeah I’ve seen the French ones from Bart. I’m sure I’ll get around to getting some soon. Money is a bit tight but I’ll certainly try them soon if I can. Thanks again for the info.

always a risk we take but fortunately for me no, not yet. so I can't give you a statistic like 1/5 packages or anything like that. however I do believe it is riskier to import large quantities at one time but I could be totally wrong about it

For breakfast, Beef Strips in a Savory Tomato based Sauce, for Lunch, italian Sausage with pepper and Onions in Marinara Sauce. U.S. Gov't price, sorry.[attachment=0]MRE-Single, US 003.jpg[/attachment]

I'd rather go to Wendy's and pay 7.88 for a Double with cheese/Combo.

I usually take an MRE to work with me, and spend at least two days working through it for snacks and lunch. A FSR or ORP can last me close to a week. Yesterday I was craving the MCW seafood chowder, so I broke open a case but accidentally grabbed the chili mac menu. I haven't had the chili mac in a while, and it was a great day. I rehydrated when I got to work (6:00), ate half on first break (9:30), half at lunch (11:30). The long rehydration time ensures perfectly soft beans, and no crunchies in the noodles or beef. Yum. I still have vegetable crackers with bacon cheese spread and corn nuts for snacks on Tuesday, when I go back.
