You will have to inform your chain of command early on as they have to specifically order boxes for you. They come with 10 meals per box. OLD Timer TIP: if you have a stubby spoon, take the little box it came in and cut one of the long ends after cooking turn the bag on it's side and slice open the long end and place back in box...keeps the hot bag from your fingers and makes it easier to eat ...works for all meals
If you want a list of the non-veggie meals that you may still be able to eat just email me.
