27. They're expensive, though.

If you have a contact in Europe, you can probably find them at lower cost than directly shipped to the US. And they're self-heating and include water purification tabs, so you don't have to worry about those aspects.

MREs would be another option, but their menus sure don't look as tasty as the French ones. One French rat gets 5 MREs in trade, although to be fair MREs are only 1/3 the daily ration. Having eaten both Cs and MREs, IMO there's not a lot to choose from in quality between them, but of course the MREs are easier to carry.
