Last year, we shared a post with three foreign military MREs from China, Ukraine, and Chile, and asked our readers which of the three meals looked the most appealing. We received over 500 responses to that poll, and a wide variety of opinions on the contents of these self-contained meals. If you haven't already seen that post, go check it out now.

Today, we're going to follow up with three more foreign MREs from Norway, Poland, and France. Look over the photos below, read the contents list, and watch the video clips. Then, let us know which survival food (if any) appeals to your palate, by answering the poll at the end of this article.
