Have had 2 Italian rations now and I just can't see why all the hype for Italian.
I think the big reason for the demand is the rarity of it. I was thrilled with getting one, the actual chow was okay, but with all the comments I got after my review aired now I know what to do in the future if I ever get the opportunity and have a ton of Italian friends to ask. Cheers

Haha. Not quite a semi, but close. We are bringing a 24 foot trailer.

Wow, wish I could come! I pretty much insured I will have no spare time for the next few years when I decided to get my second degree though....

We will miss you there. But the second degree is very important. That's awesome brother.

over 700?!?!?! Wowza!!! You could supply your own army with all those rations Bob! Now I REALLY wish I was going to be there (not that I didn't already REALLY wish I could make it). I'd love to have the chance to purchase one of those British rat packs (and tons of other cool stuff)!
