I was expecting a photo of a goat on a rope ...

Goat on a rope becomes a MRE after it has been successfully used as an IED detector.

Those Canadians are tough - US soldiers get toilet paper while the Canadians just get a toothpick and some matches.

You get musk flavor candy in the Aussie MRE? Is that something other than what it sounds like? :greenface

Had to go on French MRE for a week during my time in the French Navy some 20 years ago.

Well, they keep you alive, they're not bad tasting.

But, they do pack you a lot... Worst case of constipation I ever had... ;)

I read up a li'l bit...Yep, that's what it is, musk flavored candy, in sticks, and, LifeSavers.

While reading up on this, I came across this gem of a comment: "It seems like an awful lot of Australian food is based on a dare.":sweat:
