Hi,
when I was an armourer in the French Army during the 80's, I remember I was told to sharpen the bayonets whenever they got dull.

well for a 2" barrel it could be long enough but that's not even sure...

Hi,
I guess it's available in the "plastic dish" style. Bocage is a group that supplies the cafeterias (in bulk) and the Army (-ies).

Hi, yes you could have bought them a few years ago when that kind of entrées in flat tins were still sold in all the supermarkets.

Hi thanks for the review, I've never tried that entrée yet. In fact there's very little shellfish in the sauce (loabster chowder 15%) and the "fish" they used is pollock http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollachius_virens The factory is about 60 miles from here, I'll check if they also sell to the public...
