Ingredients here!
Emergency ration:
A vacuum sealed package containing a metal can and plastic lid, designed to provide nourishment in case of emergency (lost soldiers, operations last longer than expected, food shortage in general, not intended for common use, to be consumed in case of emergency)
Contains the following:
-1 sachet of freeze-dried coffe, 2gr
-1 sachet of sugar 10gr
-1 pack of bread crackers 30gr
-1 sachet of instant chicken soup 4gr
-1 pack of candy 24gr
-2 milk chocolate and almond bars 30 gr each
-2 almond turron bars 20gr each
-3 dry meat tablets 9 grams each
-2 A.V.E., high energy balanced nourishment 2 bars, 30gr each
-2 vitamin C tablets, 1 gram of vitamin C each
-4 hydration tablets
-4 water purification tablets
-2 fuel tablets
-1 pack of 20 matches
-1 clamp*
-Note

There might be diferences between some and the others as there is only one ''menu'' but changes are applied to it quite often to perfect it, for instance, instead of hydratation tablets you may get a sachet or a gel mixed with the vitamins and caffeine or get the caffeine by itself on tablets...
I have Spanish rations permanently, feel free to ask :!:

Most likely a survival-ration, issued to pilots/helicopter crews. Cool.
After the Chicken and the Egg, came the "Omelet"!

I think you ll be lucky to find one of those mess kits
Better with a bcb mini mess tin or a trangia mini mess tin ,
The bcb one is used in uk pilot survival kit
