Hey Guys,

During my normal ebay search, I found a 2008 Dated British pack, From the same seller I also had a 2007 pack from him..... I am keeping an eye on what he lists as it looks like he has some good stuff.
If hes getting year old packs, chances he might be able to get hold of the Multi-Climate packs sooner than most :D Considering the majority of packs are past the MOD 4 year storage target date (04 and 05 are common on ebay now) to have an 07 and 08 pack is pretty rare.

This is the newest I've seen for sale, its just over a year old, its Halal 4, Which is a new menu not listed on the base of the older boxes.

Box, Printed date
01-04-09_1118.jpg
Meals,
Meat free all day breakfast.
Chicken with Dhal (Indian Curry type meal)
Spounge pudding and custard.

Biscuits,
The standard, Brown, Fruit and oatmeal but also a Golden Oat bar.
01-04-09_1113.jpg
Drinks, Candy, Spreads, Soup and Tabsaco (The older drinks came in Lemon or Orange and so do the new lucosade drinks... would have been nice to have a change)
01-04-09_1114.jpg
Herb Spread, instead of the meat pate/paste (made by the same company who make the candy; Fra Angelico)
01-04-09_1115.jpg
Brew kit,Tissues,Yorkie bars. Now the same as the cilvian ones in shape now, not the smaller type, still has 'Not for Civies' on the side, also only one in there now.

Theres quite a few British barracks in Germany so they might start getting listed. After they are issued and the next regiments come back there might be the odd meal or pack listed.

I've got a friend going to Royal marines training within the next 3 to 4 months. I'll ask him if he sees any during training. Hes seen the dehydrated patrol packs, which are still quite rare on UK ebay.

I just tried some of the fruit bisuits earlier today. They taste remarkably like ginger snaps. There were tiny flects of fruit, but nothing that really stood out.

Love the brown biscuits in the Brit rations. Awesome with a cup of coffee.

I wish U.S. supermarkets had them.
