Australian rations terminology

I'm curious if the Australians use similar terminology as the British when describing the contents of rations. Specifically the pudding in the CR5M---is it an actual pudding or a cake? If I'm not mistaken, the British use the term pudding to describe cake just as they use biscuit to describe a cookie.

lol!

I am no master chef but the we use the same terminology as the brits, the tin of pudding in the CR5M could be described as a fruit cake or a fruit pudding, probably depends on how its cooked and how traditional you are with your cooking.

Thanks bushmaster! From the looks of them you folks have some pretty awesome rations, but I'm sure they get just as tiresome as MREs after a couple weeks in the field huh? Another thing I noticed is that you and the Brits seem to have more snack items in your rations than we do.
