Hi!
After a long time whitout something, here is a review of a dutch army ration.
Contents:
-matches
-salt
-sugar
-Mentos fruit
-dextrosetablets
-chocolate
-chewing gum
-2x instant soup
-beef tea
-3x biscuits
-3x meat spread
-tuna spread
-jam
-triacle
-2x instant coffee
-2x cream substitute
-2x tea
-2x cocoa
-tissues
-lemon beverage powder




Now the things I tried.

First:The biscuits


Taste good.
They have an oat flavour.
I think this biscuits are being used in the british rations too(?).

Second: The triacle(sirop)
I wanted to try it but unfortunately it was spoiled.



Then I tried the tomato soup.


It didn´t had a very strong flavour, but I think that´s because of his age.
But it wasn´t bad.

Next is the cocoa.


First I was suprised that so much powder is only for one cup.
But it was right and it tasted very good, one of the best cocoas that I ever had in rations(only the french one is better in my opinion).

Now it was chocolate time.


It was ok.
It even had not much flavour too.
And again I think it´s because of the age.
But it wasn´t very bitter.

And the last thing was the beef tea(boullion).

(Sorry, no pic of the beef tea ready to drink.)
It was very salty.
It wasn´t good and it wasn´t bad at all.

This was the review of the dutch army ration.

Thanks for Sharing i dont think i have seen a fully boxed Dutch ration yet.

Not sure on the biscuits haven't had a British ration yet, but i have had tried them individuality and they are nice

Hi,
thanks for the review. I confirm the Brown biscuits are the same as the British 24h packs.

Thank you!

Hello Brian,

Thank's for sharing.
In addition I wanted to let you know that you have the latest version.
A main indicator is the chocolatebar wrapper: it's made of 'plastic'.
The previous version had a paper wrapper.
I'll see if I can dig up the exact date they came out. I beleve it was 2011.

grtz, Nawt.

Thanks for the information!
