No source this side of the pond for your CompoRats, but I remember trying some in Germany in the 1980s and compared to ours, they were 5-star restaurant fare! Italian rations I had with the Alpini Regt. on my visit to Italy a few years ago were also excellent. While I have not tried them, other fellows who had them while serving on OFDA or UN humanitarian missions say the French and Canadian rations are also very good.

The Vietnam-era C-rations of my mis-spent youth which MB probably remembers well, were tasty, if limited in menu variety.
