I don't like mango all that much, so if I come across one I'll put it aside for you,

Modern ORPs are really good rations. The aspartame drinks are awful (silver pouch) as others attest.

The curry dishes are great - add a little hot diggity and you've got yourself a quality meal. I pass on the ones with corn kernels in them.. never a fan of corn. So for instance the tuna pasta salad.. pass! It has like 40% corn in it. Filler!

My favorite desserts are like DangerousDave mentions that Mango Cake. Good lord those are unusual & amazing!
But the best... those puddings.. chocolate, ginger, sticky toffee.

But the old ORPs... I miss them. Duncan's of Scotland bars.. Rum & Raisin...!

And Treacle Pudding.. I had it once. Have one left and saving it for a video of top 10 vintage international desserts (only have 3 so far).

Nothing beats the old ORPs for the chocolate and puddings. I wish they were easier to find.

The Cherry Almond cake is my all-time favourite ORP dessert... but it doesn't show up very often sadly.

Absolutely.

The old treacle puddings are still excellent after all these years.
This one is from a 2005 ORP.

And very nice on Biscuits Fruit

That gives me hope for the two 2005 GP's I just got!
Menu C and D, and the Treacle is in the D Menu I believe.

Yep, it is Menu D. And it was in good nick.
Only change to the Menu D on the bottom of the box,
was Beans and Sausage instead of Corned Beef Hash.

Your 2 are almost certainly the same batch as my Menus C and D.
