British 12h field ration pack, surplus

Delicacies of the British field kitchen packed in handy airtight godliness! A ration pack like this is supposed to keep a soldier operational for about 12 hours. Not only for being British but also because of their army surplus nature, we can't sell them for actual consumption.

Blistering with delicious Ministry of Defence-approved content, everything packed separately in airtight containers so the soldier can pick the battles - some things are best left uneaten, while others can be consumed right away... only your imagination and stoutness of mind are the limits.

The package contains:

• Main course
• Snacks and desserts
• Beverage powders
• Dental gum
• Salt & pepper
• Water purification tablets
• Flameless heater
• Cheap plastic utensils
• A durable minigrip bag
• Wet wipes
• Tissue paper
• Menu sheet

The best before dates end during 2020, but in reality, these will be good to go for many years. But oh yes, we have eaten these because, of course, we have. First of all, the jury did not die and secondly, they were positively surprised about the fact that the taste wasn't actually all that bad across the board. If someone would offer this or a proper beating, it would be a tough choice!

There's a choice of menus, like Hindu, the coveted Halal option, different vegetarian options, and few Occidental (Western-style) menus. The common nominator must be the equally high risk of diabetes, especially originating from the high-energy side dishes.

If you want the cheapest possible, get Halal - judging from the price, the British army wanted to get rid of these the most. Hmm.

Pouch compatible form

A special twist of military rations is their physical size and shape: these fit astonishingly well inside rucksack pockets and larger utility pouches in general, so it's easy for the soldier to pack the rations needed during the mission. This certainly is a god benefit for outdoor use as well.

British surplus

Unopened, unused, and in reality well edible, but NOT sold for any actual use due to their surplus nature. Sold only as a collectible.
