I’ve tried a few of these - they’re just superb, I hear the Italian rations are the only better ones. I took a few of them and went camping in Scotland - great memories of heating the duck and pasta dish up with the esbit stove ✊

Nice review 👍i buy these RCIR s regularly, we use them for hiking. The drinks are weird , no whitener for the coffee and some of the cereal bars are a bit boring, but on the other hand , everything else is really tasty.. The musli and the main courses are excellent 👌, so in general a nice ration bo

was enjoyable, do you have a favourite menu option from the RCIR

Andros jam and fruit products is a very comon product in France supermakets. I believe they use that brand on purpose as it's good home reminder taste. I don't know for military specificaly, but most people in France drink water like straight while they eat when it's not wine or beer, powder drinks or sodas are more in between meals like late morning or afternoon. There's always people unable to eat without their energy drink or soda but most people I know, me included just drink water.

That's a nice touch creating a reminder of home 😀 thanks for the info on the drinks side. it makes sense that there are few energy drinks in the French rations if its more usual to have water.

Nice, shame they didn't include 1/2ltr of red wine in there. Would have gone nice with the Duck Cassoulet and Brandy Pate. Also pro-tip open the box and any other packaging with an 80s vintage Rambo knife for extra points. edit to add: like your style with the coffee/sugar that's the way it's meant to be done.

If you used drink glasses that didn't narrow so much at the bottom the drinks would mix better.

This is my favorite RCIR combination of mains. I bought three #9s last weekend with 2025 dates from a fellow MRE enthusiast here in the US for $140USD, which I thought was quite the bargain.

@WearyWolfAdventures 2 ай бұрын

Nice, for reference it's costs about $94 usd to buy 3 here in the uk. curious how much does a American mre cost? it's roughly $25 USD Converted to buy one over here!

@@WearyWolfAdventures RCIRs located in the States that are intact with the cellophane wrapper are in the 80-95USD each range depending on the menu. US MREs are the least expensive. Location, location, location. Amazon sells them for $17USD now.

36 € in belgium for 3 french mres and US mres are like 11 € (+-11$) but the halal ones are usually cheaper (like 9 $) so yeah the price in the US are well above those in Europe

Nice review, The quality of ingredients is way up there with the French ration. I dont know what the citrus/menthol drinks are all about, maybe its a French thing but they all taste a bit weird to me. Keep it up and looking forward to the Swedish review, been eating my way through a menu 4 that has been very tasty.

@WearyWolfAdventures 2 ай бұрын

Looking forward to trying out the other menus. The Swedish mre looks exciting! Lots of new things to try. Iv been looking directly at your website instead of Ebay and I have a shopping list of wants bigger than my bank balance 😂 the American mre's look interesting my son wants to check out the pizza options

French MREs can really be good because in operation the exchange rate was 6 American MREs against 1 French. Quantity versus quality?

What peoples don't realize: French MRE are "off the shelf". It's just off brand products from any supermarket. It's not specifically made for the army.

very good point, was thinking you could make a decent 24hr mre for a long fishing trip using products from a supermarket... might play about with that idea

@@WearyWolfAdventureshello 🙂🖐 yes they are, those crackers are military made... french dosen't eat that type of crackers for breakfast, they generaly eat normal bread or pastery like croissants, chocolate bread or ham and cheese croissant, etc... even the coffee and sachet of sugar/salt/pepper are military made. They look like normal item from supermarket but they are not, only a few item of this french mre can be found in a supermarket like the tea, coffee, bore pate, the strawberry jam 🙂
