hello jubifahrer!
the company that makes this rations in norway use as much as
posible civilian food things to keep norwegian eqonomi good.
and the civilian food is higly good,there is a extreme control
on al food items made here in norway.
almost everything on the pictures you see you can buy
in a store in norway.
the only things you cant get is the energy bar and the tuna fish
pack that is made in thailand and of course the instant white tea
thats made in the uk.
its more expensive to make rations military when using only a few
companys to make the food items then buing from a bunch of different
companys,they makes the companys make a bid for them
before delivery.
cheers from norge :D

norge - so it looks like the British have abandoned the use of the boxed ration (like earlier British Patrol rations and the regular 24 Hour Rations) and are instead using what looks like the regular Norwegian ration?

yep!
so if you have the old style box patrol ration left
it would be a nice collection item since they will never come back.
but the gp rations will not change yet(boil in bags) but they
are planing changes on that to sometime 2008.
the new british arctic ration are just like a norwegian, only
more food and candy.
they are packed 12 in one case so that makes 12 days of rations
but it have only one type of menu p1-p2-p3-p4 in each case
just like old times. i dont have the other menues yet to tell
you the changes yet,but il gett them real soon :D
cheers from norge

Great pic. but I can't help to ask why, the Brits need an Arctic Ration. Are they coming around the top, to take control of ANWAR. For the oil? I would, if I were them. Since the US is too chicken S@#T to get it. In the mean while, I'll just keep paying 3 dollars a gallon for gasoline(petrol for you European guys). :oops: :cry: :? 8)
