New FCIR menus?

[oozlum]

Hi. I’ve received a 24hr FCIR. Previously, and searching the internet, these were numbered 1, 2, 3 etc. This is menu E, and the menus are A, B, C etc. The menu is Duck Parmentier. Best before date is Feb 2027. Does anyone have a menu list for this, presumably updated, range?

[MrFahrenheit]

I got a few of these menus a few months ago.

I can list the menus here from an reliable source which is www.surplusandoutdoors.com which is a smaller UK based surplus store that I have used for many years that always seems to get fresh rations at very cheap prices, I have never mentioned it here basically because it used to be a little gold mine and I'm greedy , but its been lacking of late, possibly due to current world affairs.

Anyways the new menus...as printed verbatim from their site, (Please note that the description of Menu D is missing and I haven't been unable to track that down and am unaware if there are more than the 'A - F' menus as listed, there may be more than listed.)


These Rations are issued with best before date of 2027
Menus in stock are as listed / Photos for example - Menus may vary !

Please note - although we do our best to list the rations as they are stated on the box outer, the contents / food / accessories may vary slightly from the described menu on the front of the box. sorry but this is totally beyond our control...thank you

After purchasing....
I did notice as well that they didnt seem to have full menus printed on their boxes.
They felt to me as being very 'transitional' style menus, whereas almost like there's an update coming to their packaging or menu structure, hence the weird naming and intermediate printing on the boxes.



I got 3x of menu C, E and F since they were the only menus that seemed to have new items I haven had before.

I posted a couple of pictures of the exterior packaging in the post here -
