First off - THANK YOU Amelié for sending this to me! Amelié is from Great Britain and a HUGE supporter of the MRE community!

Today I'm checking out something you don't see very often! This is a British Enhanced Operational Ration Pack, or Enhanced ORP, Menu 4, packed in December 2023.

Designed for British Special Forces and other specialist military units, this 24 hour ration provides approximately 4,500 calories and was developed to support demanding operations in challenging environments. Historical estimates put production at just 15,000 of these rations annually, making them considerably harder to find than a standard British ORP.

Unlike Britain's higher calorie Cold Climate Ration, the Enhanced ORP has roots in the British Jungle Ration, where hydration, mobility, and maintaining energy in hot and humid environments are especially important. The additional powdered beverages are a particularly important part of its design.

On the menu, we've got a vegetarian Breakfast Burrito Filling, Chicken Casserole with Pasta Shells, Rajma Masala, Chocolate Pudding in Chocolate Sauce, and plenty of snacks and beverages.

The breakfast filling was pretty good, although it reminded me more of chili sin carne than a breakfast burrito. The Chicken Casserole was excellent, with a wonderfully creamy, herby, cheesy sauce. And the Rajma Masala was another flavorful entrée that really benefited from some added spicy sauce and chili peanuts.

Overall, I was impressed with the food and the thought that went into this ration. My biggest complaint? Just ONE flameless ration heater for an entire day's worth of meals! That's a design decision I really don't understand.
