Hi! Because of the meal types listed I don’t believe these are that old? But can you confirm their age? I’m looking to purchase 1 of the spaghetti and meatballs and 1 of the hashbrowns and bacon. Also can you confirm these are the newer types that have the heater bags like the American MREs? Thank you for your time,



Judah
 
Speaking from experience (33 years service in the CF), that is not accurate. They didn't come with heater bags in the early years, but they certainly were added later.
 
hmmmm.....I am NO expert for sure but none of the canadian rations with the white covered foil outer bag nor the newer tan coloured ones I've ever seen had heaters...I always heat mine up in a stainless bucket of water over a fire...
 
The newest ones are packaged in a plastic bag like the American MRE and rumour has it they now come with ration heaters in them. I haven't eaten one yet so can't say for sure. Any Canadian ration from previous years in the brown paper bag don't have heaters in them.
 
I have one that my son brought home from EX. No ration heater, never had, certainly not anything available on the surplus market would have one. The heaters are available to Canadian soldiers (since late 90s) but DO NOT actually come in the rations
 
Sorry but you are mistaken. They have been available from supply since the 90s but DO NOT come in the IMP package. I was in the army in the 90s and my son is currently serving and he says never seen one in a ration pack

Settles that.
We are sold out of all our Rations for now.
A local Airsoft game created a lot of demand.
I know Rations are a favoured Topic of Discussion for Army Foodies.
I've been dealing in Surplus since 1991 and recall a couple the white Bagged Rats from 1989. Those breakfasts of Ham and Vomits :) (omelettes) the beans and meat n potatoes are a great improvement.
But never saw Canadian IMPs with FRH included.
 
I will have to keep an eye out and see if you guys get more. I usually keep a few boxes of US Military MRE's around just in case. I have a case of 2018 & 2019 IMP's also but its getting harder and harder to get IMP's. Some guys love them, some hate them. I find them perfect for emergency use and backpacking. Some taste like puke and others are pretty decent.

Would it be possible to order specific meals? Of all those, and a a lot of the issued IMPs to tell the truth, I can only eat very select menus.

Mind you I was a gift to any unit or HQ I was working with as I thoroughly enjoyed the Ham Omelette. 37 years in the army reserves and I don't recall going hungry ever on hard rations.
