The Brit Rat Pack

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

Answering our call for photos of military ration packs, we received this happy snap of a British issue Menu #1 made up of Steak & Veggies for the main meal, freeze dried porridge for breakfast, and Mexican tuna pasta for lunch. We would say that the more outrageous the name of a ration component the more likely it will suck. “Mexican”, “tuna”, and “pasta” just don’t go together.

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

So you think you’re a real chef with the ingredients of an MRE? Maybe you have a zip-loc bagful of fast food condiments you use to zest up your creations. Well how would you like to take it to the next level? Packit Gourmet carries a veritable grocery list of eats for the trail but their condiments larder is amazing. If you’re interested in individualized packets of A1 sauce, they got it. Balsamic vinegar? check. They’ve got packets of common and not so common name brand condiments and have even put together kits of some of the most popular items. Condiments and more are available online at www.packitgourmet.com.
