Seven different sets for each day of the week.

"The enhanced menu includes the first and second courses, dried fruit, chocolate, jam, honey, coffee and the like. Moreover, a set of special retort pouches includes a flameless heater for dishes. The new ration is simply not to be compared with the previous one, which had no such variety of quality dishes," the president added.
