Some of these meals are badass! Some have food in actual cans. Check out Russia. They hook you with vitamins.

France chows down. I don't know about the salmon pate. Wetf that is. I'd trade that crap off for crackers.

Denmark gets a freaking tooth brush. That would have rocked!

All I want to know is where can I get MRE maple nut cakes? None of the MREs I see available have them

Some of those lists are pretty impressive.

Just about a year ago we had the same conversations, LOL.
(Must be about the time the New Years Resolutions Diets have been discontinued until next year, you guys must be hungry with all the food threads.)

I remember a friend who served in Vietnam talking about the kids begging for food, but when they tossed them the canned bread from their rations, the kids would curse and throw them back!

No other country, army, navy, air force or Five Star Restaurant cold outdo a U.S. Army Mobile Field Kitchen.

Even in the depths of Jimmy Carter's military draw down, our mess sergeants were able to cobble together the best chow an American soldier ever ate.

The wizards of field dining turned powdered eggs, dehydrated potatoes, carrots, peas, beef, pork chops, and canned bacon into works of art. Their highest art form was Chili-Mac.

They busted their asses to keep the troops fed at all hours of the day or night.

Nothing like a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup and a cup of Joe in the middle of the night or just before stand-to.

Then some numb nut in the Pentagon took cooks out of the Army to save money.
