    Default Buying MRE's (in Europe)

    So...
    I've had the pleasure of eating an MRE a few times over the past few years, and they're vastly superior to the French one/one's we get issued (they taste better, come in a bag rather than a carboard box, don't require fire, etc.).
    I thought it would be interesting to purchase a few from time to time, and started looking for companies that sell them...

    Unfortunately, the ones I've found so far don't ship outside the US, hence my question:
    is there anyone on mp.net who knows of a company who sells MRE's in Europe?
    I'm obviously not going to start buying them off of E-bay, it would be nice to have someplace I could order a bunch every once in a while at a fixed price. It would be awesome if I could fidn a place like this (that WILL accept orders from Europe):

    http://www.mre-meals.net/products.ph...lete+MRE+Meals



    Another great alternative would be the Norwegian ration (at least it think they're Norwegian), but I haven't found those for sale.

    Some are okay like the beefstew but the Cheese and omlet....
    The shakes are good and so are the Ahooa sports bars.
    But it seems they arent good/healty to eat for the longer term.
    There okay and eazy but there are way better and more healty packedges then these MRE`s.

    about MRE, well its no problem to get them for about 7-8 euros but the most army stores I know dont have anglish translated site. I guess I could help you order some though.
    heres english translated site, although prices are in czk. 24,30 czech crowns = 1 EUR

    Oh no you got orange energy drink! One less in the world for me to get
    That is indeed a Norwegian "MRE", made by DryTech. They also make a civilian version, which is expensive as ****, and without all the smaller items (main course only afaik).

    lol, my opinion the french ratpack is way better than the MRE, the MRE is just more user friendly.

    I think you aren't talking about the same ration because the french "One in One" Sewen means isn't that great. (http://www.google.be/imgres?imgurl=h...:0&tx=84&ty=79)
    I eat it, but i'm a good pig and a good pig eats everything like they say in Belgium. i'll chose a MRE over a french ration pack any day !

    Try out the Pork Rib MRE, beef patty and the chicken breast. Those are the better ones if you ask me. Also the new buffalo chicken is good too, although it will make you sh1t your pants later.

    Haven't had any of those yet. I remember the meatloaf with onion gravy as very good.



    Thanks for the help, guys. I'll be giving adventure-world a try (for some reason, I have most faith in zhe Germans ).

    The New british rat packs are very good and are good even tho you have to cook the packs if you want them warm but they are nice cold if you are in a rush

    Yes, Norwegian. A product called Real Field Meal by a company named DryTech. I'm not actually sure if the military version can be bought outside Norway and Sweden. The civilian version, called Real Turmat is sold in France according to their webpage. The price might be a bit high(they're pricey in Norway, but everything is pricey here), and you don't get the full Field Meal package, just the main course. They have a lot of different tastes, and I pretty much liked all of the the once I've tried. Only drawback is that they need a lot of hot water.

    Civie version

    Military version

    French dealer

    Edit; Just noticed you're in Belgium, not France.
