There's a pretty good website that has lots of details about various country's combat rations -
mreinfo.com. As with the story, the French rations looked to be the best, with American, Canadian, and German being a respectable second. The Russian ration pack had some of the grossest stuff I've ever seen:

Upper left looks like cat food.
Upper right looks like something my cat would refuse.

Thanks for the link.
I did note that other than US, most ration packets are one-a-day.
Lots of cool photos - thanks again for the link.
