The brazilian one is rice, beans, water and whatever you can hunt
Seriously though I don't even know if we have such food packs, but I'm pretty sure that if they exist they are terrible, 'cause the food served during compulsory military service is absolutely disgusting.
p.s. it seems that european soldiers eat better than me most of the time

Then you have BOPE who don't even need food, they feed themselves with the scalps of their enemies xD
I understand it's only one small shot of alcohol before the breakfast, which actually IS good and healty for your heart (if you drink only one and eat after that). They won't get drunk from that.
Dutch one, the 'fruit mentos' on the left are the same I buy sometimes over here
Spoiler:
Dutch Soldiers are taught to make a snack pack from ration items like a packet of biscuits, the chocolate bar, Mento’s and the dextrose. They keep it in their smocks so they can always grab a quick snack.
Looks like the estonians bought FDF leftovers, those pâté tins and crispbreads are straight from the finnish version.
Was thinking the same.
Food in the army was good enough. Nothing too special but it kept you going. However food packages we got during marches were awesome. Didn't get to eat them too much, sadly.
Military scientists are perfecting a pepperoni pizza that will last for three years and feed troops in the field. It's the holy grail of long-life foods.
The US Army's research centre in Natick, Massachusetts, is developing what is arguably the trickiest of all foods to put in the long-life Meal, Ready to Eat (MRE) pouches that soldiers eat as field rations. It's a pepperoni pizza that will last three years in temperatures of 27C (80F).
Developing a long shelf life for pizza and other bread products has been a "culinary Herculean task", says David Accetta, spokesman for the centre. Bread can quickly get soggy and stale, making it a target for mould. Scientists have now figured out how to use common ingredients like sugar, salt and syrups - called humectants - to bind water and keep it from the dough. They also played around with the acidity, achieving a pH level for the pizza components that makes them inhospitable to bacteria and oxygen. Oxygen-free packaging is also key.
It means pizza will join the ranks of long-life MREs. Accetta himself was deployed three times to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. During his first deployment, there were only 12 MREs and some - including tuna and noodles - left a lot to be desired. Even if you liked all 12, you'd easily get "menu fatigue", he says.
There are now 24 choices. Everything from beef stew to Mexican and Italian specialties that reflect "the diversity of American culture and its military", are present on the list, notes Accetta. The "more trendy" options like the chicken pesto pasta sound "like something you'd get in a restaurant".
Brandon Schraub, a member of the National Guard in Texas, served in Iraq and Afghanistan and says he has had his share of MREs. "It's not that they taste terrible, it's just that they're not home, you know," he says. He longed for real steak and potatoes in the rations.
The pizza is part of a drive to make MREs better and more varied. It's not ready yet. There are shelf life tests and soldiers will have to give their verdicts on the taste.
"It's a lot better than I expected, better than a lot of frozen pizza," Accetta says.
woow imagine eating a 2 year old pizza party time for US and other soldiers
and thats even the worst one we have Faaborg Postej, a music festival staple
I seem to recall the rye bread was fucking horrible. We used to joke that you could hide behind it during a firefight and you wouldn't get hurt The danish rations have gotten much better though.
