Very interesting idea for a thread! It's funny, you wouldn't expect to see a "all the world's rations" comparison book in a store the way you might see an "all the world's tanks" or "all the world's military aircraft" compilation book, even though griping about the food is pretty universal across time and space for armies. Something that might be interesting here: the US Army Quartermaster Foundation has a bunch of articles and some pictures about rations, including a whole lot of stuff about WWII US rations ("Army Rations - Historical Background"). I'm sure some of it is outdated or obsolete, but it might be cool to look over.

It almost looks like a ration that wouldn't be out of place 70 years ago. It's...actually kinda sad imagining that's all a Ukrainian soldier would get in the field today

Electric Hobo posted:Too bad the low carb thread isn't around any more, they'd have loving loved those Eastern European rations. I thought kasha was made from buckwheat?

That egg roll looks like it's supposed to be two smaller ones stuck together, like someone got frozen egg rolls and didn't thaw and separate them right before frying them up.

I can't tell the ranks of the people eating the fondue at the end. Would this be something for officers' parties, enlisted holiday chow, or just an ordinary garrison meal for the army?
