A taste of England in a box
In case you are missing some "British Food" you might like this graphic from the New York Times today:

Military Combat Rations of the World.
Sorry to say the UK one doesn't look all that appetizing. Then again, none really look that yummy.

Edited to add: well, I looked at some of the others too. result: I'm glad I'm a civilian who can cook his own food, and can also visit nice restaurants...

Rat packs are a lot more appetizing than they look in that picture.

Is the US pack the only one to contain toilet paper? Kind of an odd thing to include with a meal ration ... don't you think?
I thought Australia looked pretty good.
Which country's MRE would you pick? Britain's or a different one?

I don't know about todays ration packs but they used to come with 9 sheets of single ply. You don't want to know how they were supposed to be used.

Off topic, Sime, but I notice that the vanity plate 303BRIT is available in Maine. I have to wait until next year before we get 7 character vanity plates in TX, but there's nowt to stop you grabbing it now.

I thought about getting something that said Brit on it for my bike but I decided against it because I could forsee all of the Britney Spears question

Dunno about the best but looking again at the Ukraine pack it looks like a case of scurvy waiting to happen - it looks like sailors' rations up until about 1760.

Re: A taste of England in a box
How long is one of these packs supposed to last? One meal? One day? I ask because the Italian one includes three toothbrushes, which seems excessive for a single meal.
