Nice!

Ive just found some of these on ebay same packed code 12/19.

I regularly buy the Summit to eat meal when hiking so i know what to expect from those and theyre pretty good.

but im really interested in the beef patty and the pork n beef patty so ordered one of each menu with them in.

I'm curious about the hamburger, the beef and pork patty, and the custard with fruit components.
The custard with fruit are produced by a brand called "Summit" which is a collaboration between mountain house and MX3. Here is an oat and milk breakfast: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Mountain ... SwgjddKQ6-
Yeah they are produced by a company called European Freeze Dry who used to produce the Mountain House meals for the UK and now Produce the Summit to eat brand.

Not sure why Mountain House stopped producing meals here in the UK as most of them were great, their loss I suppose as the Summit to eat meals are very good for freeze dried products especially the Mac n Cheese and beef stew.

Yeah, I bought a case too, probably the same seller haha, he said my case has 2 menus missing, so there are duplicates of some menus. will have to see if anyone wants to trade my duplicates for the missing menus.
Check out my ORP menu spreadsheet: https://bit.ly/2NqUFRX | I have: | British 24HR Box Rations | French RCIRs | Type I EPA |Danish Rations

The internals of ration menu 3 minus the drinks pack which seems standard.
I checked these contents before a recent camping trip as i always do to make sure the product is good and fit for purpose when on the mountain trails.

Image

The cake was Cinamon and quite tasty.
as was the caramel cereal bar (outer stated cookies and cream bar).

I took some MRE tortillas and jalapeno cheese spread and made a nice wrap with the pork and beef patty, it was quite similar to US MRE beef patty but a little drier, more solid in textue but tasty.

cheese oat biscuits are very nice, basically Nairn's cheese oat cakes but a little smaller, nice with the cheese spread.

Oatmeal very sweet if somewhat plain. a few chunks of chocolate melted into it helped a great deal.

The Chicken korma was very standard dehydrated meal, not too flavourful but not bad, nice chicken pieces, as usual adding a little less water than required gave better results.

Havnt had the oaty desert yet.

peanuts good, cola bottles were more like Haribo softer sugar coated jelly sweets rathar than the more solid sugarless ones I got as a kid (35 odd years ago!) but still a nice reminder of this being an English ration.



no other pictures as the weather was terrible on my trip and most of my comfort and time was spent in the tent while wind adn rain battered around us.
