Anyone remember the little pack of instant tea? And the tubes of Marge and the tubes of jam? I always dipped out and got the bloody Apricot tube!
I remember tubes of condensed milk as a child. My father bought me up on Army Rations

I thought it was just me that was none to keen on that pile of cat vomit.
If memory serves it was in ratpack "A" We always left menu "A" for the pigs. Yes was'nt life tragic for the commisioned chaps.
"What have I got lads?"
"Menu "A" sir" (no wonder they always seemed to have 2 degrees in misery)

Appendum: Tubes of condensed milk. The porn industry bought the lot for those little snippets of "O yer Baby O yer it's about to explode, Yee haa!!!!!! Sorry bout that" (crack tube and spray it everywhere, so I heard)

Remember the cheese in the ten man ration box.What the hell was it made from or more to the point how was it made.
I remember coming home slightly merry one night and starving.searching through my trusty pinched no one else wants this s-it rations stockpile,trying to do cheese on toast with the processed cheese.O dear 3hrs later just carbon and the said cheese under the grill.The cheese was intact.
Perhaps if they had put slices of cheese on the space shuttle there would never have been any accidents.

10 man Rat Packs... open that tin, empty the contents, look at it - mm... all that tasty fat around the edge!!! Then start to watch it cook - and hold your breathe.
Eventually you summon up the courage, put your fork in and pull out a piece of meat... uh oh!!!
Thats hardly meat - that looks more like a
Goats Chocolate Starfish!!
Must I remind you all of the joys of "Non-dairy whitener" - if it was made from dairy would it still be as flamable???

Specially the white ones with Arabic scribble on the packet.

I remember when pusser did a deal and we lost the Cadburys choccy bars. The new choccy bar.................Just think cardboard with a coating of brown goo. Kin crap.
Once in Sardinia the chefs put up a menu for the day.
Babys heads went like sh*t off a shiny shovel. We had this WRAC Capt as liason officer with the Ities. She complained to JJ Moore the Brig about the use of bad language on the menu i.e. Babys heads, Sh*t on a raft etc, etc, the reply was direct and to the point. "Get a life woman, just get a life" Sigs see's and hears everything.

My Missus still gives me strange looks when I talk about babys heads, tank tracks & train smash (fish fingers & corn beef hash).
Went aboard USS John F. Kennedy once, their mess had sh*t on a raft too but they call it sh*t on a shingle, shown as SOS on the menu.
Talk about different: "Hi, how many steaks & how dya wannem? Two eggs or three? Easy over?"
Back on rats, bacon grill weren't too bad.
Hmm, getting peckish...

You can tell you guys were not on tanks!!!
Chicken Supreme, no problem take out contents of tin wash off sauce wrap in a piece of cloth wring till all liquid is out then add to a tin of boiled rice in a dixie with some oil add couple of scrambled eggs and seasonal scrounged veg and hey presto chicken fried rice.
Cheese Possesed, take tin of beans one tin of porksnorkers and tin of cheese chop snorkers mix all in dixie heat until cheese has melted and you have a meal that clogs you for a week but is delicous. then retire to back decks for a brew and a tab
Oh the joy of 4 man packs I'll have to go I can feel a tear welling up.

Heyup Crabmeat, nice to see you suffer from Rollo-phobia as well.

Your No 2 recipe for Chicken Supreme reminds me of
Biscuits AB have an indefinate shelf-life and taste best when left in the wrapper.
Ref the whitener, we have dispensers in the Smoke-o shed( site canteen) for coffee, sugar and "beverage whitener" How the Aussies larfed(i.e. not many) when I poured a cup of it over a naked flame

Goes without saying, they all take it black now, (pardon.)
Shit on a shingle
is how Elmer refers to it

(top tip, sprinkle with chilli dust

)

Hiya Harry,
You're up late/early, farmers itchy?
Talking about biscuits what were them "Dead Fly" biccies called?
Also remember them lousy boiled sweets that tasted like it had sand in it?
That mashed spud powder was pretty good as an IED an all , chucked a handful on a pub fire once, WHUMPH!
Landlord points to door "Out!"
