Military rations from around the world

While looking up what the hell an RCIR is, I found this interesting website: http://www.mreinfo.com/ - for anyone who want to know what the rations from other countries contain. Interesting that the french rations have an emergency stove included!

Er, in the Bundeswehr we've always had our emergency stove with us (Essbit Kocher). Why would anyone want to put that in a MRE?

The french "stove" is basically only a piece of metal which you can fold, you want to use it only when you have nothing else - e.g. traded in/lolst your own stove. (esbit tablettes are also included in the RCIR)

The best thing about MREs was that you did not have to poop until you got back to base. And then watch out!

I used to like the old MCIs

"improved" C-Rats for those not familiar with MCI. Improved used with the smallest "i" possible.

What do MRIs (Meals Requiring Enemas) and the AF Conflict have in common?

Neither has an exit strategy.
