I can't recall ever seeing Fruit dumplings and custard in the store I work in,

Thats quite a creation Stef, I think I will pass if I ever see that for sale. The Onions and cheesy bread sounds ok, so does the first but together

Housil, I'll see if I have a Fruit Dumplings and custard back home in my little store on Thursday (I'm away at University until then), if I do its yours.

Thx for offer but I guess I still have a rat pack one but didn´t tried it yet

People, sorry for offtop but I need help
I've got a British Ration with numbers :
A 08/04

A- comes for menu type, I know
but 08/04 - it is the date of creation ??? august of 2004 year ???
or date of expiring april (04) of 2008 year ???

08/04 - means this ration was packed in august 2004.

the items inside can be a little bit older. for example: 01/05 ration - items can be also from 2004.

First of all - welcome to forums товарищ

Usally our mil rations don´t have an(y) expiring date, just a manufacturing or packing date

The Brits say´s:


e.g. 09/01 (Sep/2001) on outer case


same on single rations


Different way of dating 9/1 or 09/01


At package inside the exactly date of e.g. 18/12/01 (in a 09/01 packed box?! )

No idea

Genuine tape?! As genuine as clear, white and black plastic straps around MRE cases...

Yesterday got "E-ration" packed 17.12.2004 and there wasn't that metal can with "meat-pate" for bisquits inside

and a question : Do we need to doil "Fruit dumplings in Custard" before eating ?

You got robbed...

You don´t have to boil it, every mil-ration can be eaten cold - excapt freeze dried. But (I guess) we all would to recommand you to "warm" it up!
