A couple of years back we were able to get some 1950's era German C-rations (style) no box but it was all in German and it had 17 October 1956 printed on the tin. It was 2 meatballs in a tomato sauce with saukraut, wasn't tasty but I didn't get I'll from it.

My one night exercise/expedition plan when I knew there wouldn't be toilets was eat a ton of biscuit browns and block up the pipes until I got back

I quite like having a shit outdoors - so long as it isn't raining. It's one of those primeval experiences, like swimming naked in the sea, that remind us of what it is to be alive; the animal nature of our physicality. It's a good antidote to a great deal of bollocks we are continually bombarded with about 'lifestyle'. Dock leaves make great arse wipes too

You're confusing biscuits, brown with the oatmeal block! The biscuit brown was great when smothered liberally with the meat pate stuff, whereas oatmeal block was just heaven. Apparently if you soak them in water they turn in to porridge. Mine never lasted that long! I once had a full four man 24 hour rat pack, with a tin of oatmeal blocks in, I think there a dozen or so in it and they lasted about five minutes.

I've not seen any of the 90's rat packs about for a while. Used to love the vac packed meals, the hotpot was great, and the meatballs was pretty good too. I used to love the dried meals, especially the lamb and mint one. Then you had the desserts. Anyone remember carpet tiles in syrup?

I'm on about rat packs from the 80's. I don't believe there's anyone on earth, alive or dead, who thought the oatmeal biscuits in those were good. Well, except for paving a patio or something similar...

But yeah, slab'n'slop - mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

the oatblock was brilliant, slap on the jam on the ting for lubrication and swallow.

although, come june time when i do my paris hike, I'm going to eat all my oat blocks in one go to insure i dont shit at all during the hike. Im going to get to the hotel in paris eat all my biscuit browns then ruin the poor french hotel.

will be worth the walk alone just to do that i guess.

When I was visiting relatives in Ukraine some people were selling old WWII Era German canned meat rations that were found in a bunker in a forest. Cost about 20 grivna(About 1.80 euro) for a can.

Needless to say,the F*cking things were gobsmackingly delicious and I regret not buying more! Nazis were cunts but they knew how to feed their soldiers!
