If any of you guys are actually interested in trying out the MRE's, you can mail order from the US. Just do a search for "MRE" and you'll find lots of mail order companies offering them as emergency food supplies.
Personally, I stock freeze dried meals from Mountain House () for emergencies - I live in a earthquake zone. The freeze dried pouch "backpacker food" is easily found at local sports shops and have shelf life of 5+ years. They also offer canned stuff with 30+ year shelf life, though I'd be scared of eating anything 30 years old.

oh, thanks...english slang is bit alien to me...
Well Finnish army food sucks...as it propaply do in every military. Tough there's two main variations in the food, the one eated in the mess and ones eaten in the woods...I'm must confess that there is few better things than messfood (regardless what it is) after exhausing days in the woods where you had to eat this unspeakble junk from "pakki" (every finnish soldiers personal field cup(?), sort a metal can or pot) in -30 degree whitout hat. ( finnish soldiers are not allowed to wear hats in the indoors, nor be whitout hat in outdoors, exept when eating, then it's stricly forbidden to wear any sort of hat...regardless what the temperature is...). The worst thing is in the gungroup, it almoust everytime was so, that when the shootings started, ofcourse the meal arrived at the same time. As there must be all the time at least three person in the Gun, few guys must fecth all the food to the rest of the group...and they usually where always the same dudes..so there they went to the command post (the food always comes to the battery command posts, never straight away to the firing platoons) wich usually is about 1 km away from the guns...so you can quess if the food was never warm...tough you didn't have much time to moarn about it as you got only about 2 mins to eat the whole thing. Or if you wheren't fast enough you could leave the food on top of those various boxes laying around on the fire position...ques what happens when the gun is fired...hmm where did those pakki's went?
The food in the woods where made by fellow conscripts and it was more of a rule that the most lazyest and uncapaple ones got to be the "spade". So you can imagine the effort that they put on every meal...and all this was not helped by those urban legends and rumours that when we drove the 900 km from our base to the firing area to the longest and hardest firetraining camp, some "spade" suddenly got urgent need to go to the toilett, the cars didn't stop so he had to use the sole pots and dishes available...the food cans...and he didn't needed to take a leak....

Malaysian troops get six meals a day
By Jonathan Kent
BBC, Kuala Lumpur
Napoleon Bonaparte's adage that an army marches on its stomach has been given new life in Malaysia.
After a major review of its soldiers' diet, the country's defence ministry has announced that they will be given six meals a day.
Food is something of a national obsession in Malaysia but the new ration regime in the Malaysian army might even have Napoleon wondering how much time will be left for marching between meals.
The changes are the result of the first review of army food carried out in 10years.
It concluded that soldiers need more calories.
They currently get breakfast, lunch and dinner but from the beginning of January, the three additional daily snacks soldiers now receive will be replaced by full meals.
Malaysia's Defence Minister Najib Tun Razak said these might feature dishes like biriyani rice and chapatti bread, staples enjoyed by Malaysia's large Tamil community.
Chinese regional dishes and even Thai food could feature, so varied is Malaysia's ethnic make-up.
But since most of the 110,000 members of the armed forces are Malay Muslims, any food served would have to meet strict Islamic guidelines.
Mr Najib jokingly told troops that they would have to watch their body mass index - a polite way of telling them to make sure they do not get fat.

Sorry Gollevainen, had you served in the Malaysian armed forces, you'd have been eating a plate of hot roti canai with curry dipping sauce:
