Just got back from a stay in Ireland. My quarters was in The Curragh Camp, Kildare. It is an old Irish Army barracks. Not much soldiers are living there now.
In one of the buildings I found the remains of Irish combat rations. Unfortunately they were INcomplete. It was impossible to get complete ones. 'Best before' dates are april 2007.

The remains are from menu's C and D.
C menu has "MoD Beans and Potato an Tomato Sauce" and instant noodles "Chicken Poulet".
D menu has "Beef Casserole", "Sweet & Sour Pork" (in tin), and "Syrup Pudding".
The rations are packed in clear plastic bags and are being bought in the UK. According to an Irish officer the Irish rations are better than the UK rations.

My excuses for the poor photo quality.
PS: Norge, did you get my PM about these rations??

It's interesting that they use different rations than the Brits. The photos are not that bad. I was able to enlarge them and read the labels. The beef casserole does not look bad. The sweet and sour pork sounds good, too. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

Definitely cool stuff - thanks for posting!

Nothing wrong with the Brit rations, as long as you like BEANS !

Strange: one EPA-like tin, British biscuits, a commercial chinese noodle pack... musn't be bad anyway
