I blew my budget and treated myself to a French 24 hour ration, different mains but otherwise very similar. It was worth the $ for the experience. High quality items and very filling. Your review rocks.

Great video! Love the way you present everything. I like that you actually show everything and describe the way it taste and preps. Thanks and keep them coming!

Good review! I like the way you spread everything out in an organized way then proceed through the three basic meals. Breakfast, lunch and supper

Great review Sticky, everything looked so good. Keep up the great work:)

Another great review Sticky. Nice and smooth as always.

wow thats a great video of Rations .. this is the first time i see a video made by you but it was great i love it

Very nice sticky good job budd on the mre man 😀

Very well done lad! As always, keeps my dinner tasting better! Good on you for getting this RCIR. I've had a similar one a few years back. I wish french main courses were stronger and entrees a bit less powerful.

First error. On french ration, the plastic wrapping needs to be opened from the side as this will make a usable plastic bag for food stroage, or disposal. This also can be done by hand without a knife. This bag can also be used for water treatement with the included water puriication tablets.

Hey there, I don't know where you are from, but, just to say, in France, we don't really add sugar in cocoa, or in muesli/cereal. So, that's why there is only 2 pack of sugar in the MRE. Sorry for bad english, best regard from France !

Good video 😄🇧🇷

I bet the coffee bar dunked in the coffee to soften it up would be good

I should have this exact same menu somewhere to try out. The ham and potatoes dish liked like something is really like. They rapt do need to add more sugar. It's not like that would break the bank or anything. That last french chocolate bar I had on stream wad amazing it had either coffee or cocoa beans inside.

Drop that Nougat bar in the muesli and mix.. and add the hot chocolate to the coffee you know how MRE's work. You gotta combine for the goodness

That's pretty compact for a 24-hr MRE. Either the French are good in minimizing packaging.... or they don't eat much

Awesome looking ration sir !! All components looked delicious. Well thought out, agreed. More sugar would be nice. Nice looking Breakfast. Lunch. Everyone says any French soup is awesome. Most thicken up very nicely. Gotta love the pull tabs, LOL. That is my luck most of the time. Looks like the fight was worth it however. Great looking pasta. I love the variety of campaign biscuits in these French rations. Addition of crackers to mains, cool idea. The French cheese is awesome, by others reviews. Dinner. Better luck on the pull tab this time. That main looks excellent friend. I can almost detect the aroma on this side of the computer screen.

Viola Krone yep, these are products we use at home all the time (the brand andros etc), from old french brands. Idk why we put so much effort into our rations but apparently the soldiers love them x') it's good for the morale of the troops. They cost around 10-11€ to the army.

The different bars goes into a pocket for the day or in case you have to skip a meal. The chocolate drink is nice when mixed with the muesli and a pack of sugar. Coffee is meant to be drinked black with no sugar. Tartiflette is a hot meal. Salad is a cold one. The little spoon is useless, French soldiers are issued with a nice mess kit.

I think the French soldiers are issued cutlery kits, which is the reason for the tiny spoon folded up in espit stove kit, it’s just a just Incase thing lol. Most European militaries supply their troops with cutlery kits, even the Canadians do lol. The US is probably one of the select few to not, and that’s just because we use MRE’s instead of the more traditional rations lol. I think the French also don’t believe in loading up their troops with to much sugar, to much sugar causes the body to crash, and results in a sluggish performance index once the sugar crash hits lol. But in a ration, sugar is probably one of the more favored components, it eliminates the possibility of bland drinks, but it is what it is, I still think the French RCIR is one of the worlds greatest military rations, like you said every single component was well thought out for its use in the ration, and every thing in it goes with every other thing, and that’s something you don’t find that often in other countries military rations lol.
