Ha ha, mine is called Vicki. Just imagine if she was called Marianne though! We’d have been swapping details to see. Nothing would surprise me with things like that though. There are just so many coincidences in life.

My MRE's arrived, I've opened them both, it's like being a kid at Christmas Some packs have hot packs to be able to warm up food in the field, but these have meals that are boil in the bag, suits me fine as I am making them at home. They all come with a "sundries pack" that has the following: chewing gum, wipes, tea, coffee, creamer for drinks, water purification tablets, packet of tissues, biodegradable spork, matches, sugar. There were 10 vegetarian MRE's to choose from. I chose these: Vegetarian menu 10Cooked Rice, Mac & Cheese, Vegetable Korma, Frittata. Cookies & Cream Flavour Bar, Choc Chip mini cookies, Nuts, Orange Flavour Cake. Energy Drink Powder Lime Flavour, Cola Flavour Drink Powder, Energy Drink Powder Orange Flavour, Isotonic Drink Powder Cherry Flavour, Hot Chocolate Flavour Drink Powder. Apricot jam, sachet of chilli sauce. Vegetarian Menu 5Raspberry Toasted Muesli With Milk, Mac & Cheese, Bean & pasta Salad ,Chocolate Cake Cheese Oat Biscuits, Fruit Flapjack, Salted Peanuts, Peanut Butter, Oat Digestive Biscuits Fortified Energy refreshing Strawberry, Cola Flavour Drink Powder, Lemon Flavour Drink Powder Energy Drink Powder, Lime Flavour, Hot Chocolate Flavour Drink Powder. Two sachets of Chilli sauce.

Ooh, that's really interesting Marianne Marlow. I would be really excited to try them all out too Is each pack designed to feed a person for a certain number of meals/day? I couldn't quite work it out.

It's a 24 hour pack for one person, so breakfast, lunch and dinner with drinks and snacks. It's really for someone that is on the move all day as each pack has at least 4,000 calories. I'd never eat all of it in one day I'm not active enough. Ooh, that's really interesting Marianne Marlow.

I think I could have a good stab at that in a day, whether I should is another thing entirely It's really interesting to see what they contain. It must feel a bit like being on your own private adventure when you try them out. It'll be good to hear how you rate them.

Today's lunch was vegetable korma and rice, plus an orange energy drink. Pretty nice actually The rice was boil in the bag and the curry didn't have any instructions on it, so I warmed it up in a saucepan!

I have never heard of MRE-collecting as a hobby but the Armed Forces personnel I've known have all rated them as a decent scran. Nevertheless - this is an odd hobby, Marianne Marlow !

I don't collect them. I just want to try all the veggie ones. It's fun seeing all the other countries ones being opened and tested on youtube.

Hope you enjoy them.

Out of interest, do they supply gluten free MRE’s? I’m sure I once read that coeliac disease prevents a person going into the forces and that’s understandable if they can’t be fed, but I wasn’t sure if that has since changed.
