Operational ration packs

Peanut butter for GIs and a 40% shot of cordiale for the Italians: Can you guess the army's nationality by its ration pack?

• Operational ration packs provide enough food to feed a serviceman or woman for 24 hours
• British troops are given chicken tikka masala, vegetarian pasta, tea, coffee, biscuits and Tabasco sauce
• Only the Italian forces are given alcohol, in the form of a 40 per cent measure of cordiale
• Ration packs were collected from troops serving in Kabul, Afghanistan for a charity dinner in aid of Afghan schools

Yes dried on a rock and added to a soup or some sort of pot stew, excellent. I have taken wilderness survival coarse and put into practice in the north country ...I have eaten many odd things... raw lake mussels was the hardest to swallow.
