The pictures are great. I can't read the text (if any) on the silver pouches in the two bags with the orange and white stripes. Otherwise, it is easy to tell what everything is. For anonymity's sake, you might want to think before including your helmet (with your name on the band) in future photos, though.

The helmet is just part of my mini-collection.

About that rice pudding....um, well....it's....


...I guess you have to like rice pudding in order to enjoy it.


(It was not for me! The dogs loved it, however!)

I defy anyone* to enjoy the 'meat pate' in the little can.....The only use I can think for this gritty, grey, unfragant crap is as polishing paste for rusty steel




*by which I mean someone not starving to death or escaped from a health farm

Also- really don't use those matches in the house or near anything that might be easily stained....:)

The rice pudding was bad frankly. The Beefburger & beans was not bad as was the rest of the ration, different but not bad. The “Meat” plate was strange but, I decided to give it a try. I should have waited until I get a FN-FAL to take the pictures just to complete the set up. :P
