  • A truly gourmet freeze dried 24 hour ration with exceptionally high quality and delicious food, snacks, candy, coffee, tea, and even a toothbrush.
    Small portions for many items, which means they could pack in extra variety, and that is just what Denmark did with this 24 hour food pack used in cold climate operations.
    Mild pate, raspberry jam that tasted like a dessert sauce, delicate curried chicken with minimally processed and large portions of meat, fish sandwiches, making a trail mix, and finishing with a memorably rich and decadent double chocolate frosted cake.

      These MREs are available on Ebay and such. There are many collectors and enthusiasts out there, and many military surplus dealers offering them, so it's a lively trade. A not-too-rare-but-still-interesting ration pack can be had for about 10 to 15 €/$/£ already. So if you just want to try if the hobby is for you, the bar is pretty low. My partner and I tried a few from different countries and it was fun, but ultimately not something that we'd spend more money on. It's not like we're making videos out of it.

    Great coverage Steve!
    A bit of info on Danish rations as I was taught:
    Typically the whole rye bread and paté are the lunch items, as a fairly traditional danish open faced sandwich, this also goes for the fish (mackerel on the whole rye bread as a spread).
    Whole rye bread is a typical lunch food, with savory spreads on top as the base of the famous danish "Smørrebrød".
    the whole wheat bread would be a breakfast item (with the jams/hazelnut chocolate spread) and the biscuits are a snack/used to uh.. "plug you up" so to speak due to the high fiber content.
    When we receive a ration, you'd pack it in to one of the plastic bags (to keep it dry) before packing it in your bag, and keep the other for trash, taking any smaller items you want as snacks and keeping them in a pocket on your person, such as the chocolate, raisins, jerky and cereal/protein bars.
    Naturally, each soldier adapts that to their preferences and needs, but that would be a typical way to go with it.

    The "MHTD" means "Mindst Holdbar Til Dato", literally "Best Before Date". It's a Danish food and health safety thing.
    It means that the food is best before the indicated date, but can eaten after that date. Provided it's been stored correctly.
    Also. Steve, you ate the patés wrong. They are supposed to go on the rye bread. Which is why this ration has TWO packets of bread; one for the fish, one for the patés.
    We Danes also don't put jam on the patés.
    And they are usually a lunch, or dinner item.

      It's the difference between spending $1M on meals for 10,000 soldiers versus spending $1M for 100,000 soldiers. Combined with not getting deployed means they are not using the MREs, which means they can make even fewer of them. Something like this wouldn't scale up well.
