    You can learn a lot about a country by what they put in their MRE packs. They always have things that are meant to be comforting. It shows what foods are important to the national culture.

      I'd say the only typical slovenian things in there are the golaž, fish spread, honey and those vitamin candies. Otherwise it's just a bunch of commercially available products, most of them likely imported.

      @@tiarkrezar well that’s 4 things out of it..or is that the name of the fish spread, that’s 3. Tuna is pretty universal as is that kind of gum. It doesn’t necessarily have to be made there to be comforting to the citizens. For example, Coca Cola snd McDonald’s are comforting to millions of people around the world, but they are American…pizza too.

    It's finally nice to see, what my Country's MRE Pack includes. You can get the Vitergin candies in many flavours, and is loved by young and adults. Would like to see more typical Slovenian Dishes and not only the Gulash ( fun fact: also good over fresh Fries). Strange, that the ration doesn't include Coffee, because we really do "live" of off Coffee. But very nice to see our MRE for the 1st time even as a Slovene myself. And for the Delamaris spread with tomatoes, Slovene people love it, that's why it's included, but Delamaris has a huge variety of options and flavours.

There has been an absolute revolution in the diversity and quality of camping meals in my life time. Some are good enough I actually use them at home!

    Your US smarties are called "rockets", up here in Canada.

    this is like a far, far better and more food safe version of a Russian or Belarussian MRE with friendlier looking packaging that had a baby with a US MRE. No coffee is a fail but you could probably add some creamer to the muesli to make it richer. Whole MRE could definitely benefit from a packet of mayonnaise, too! Poke the tuna can with something sharp to drain it, and mix it with the pepper packet that comes with the utensils and the mayo packet in the can for MRE tuna salad. They even have something like that in the US MRE's, lemon pepper tuna I'm pretty sure.
