Anyone know the menus of those Spanish rations?
I know they have octopus and mussels as some main course anyone know the whole menu?

I think I have some pictures of some Spanish rations lying around here somewhere but I haven't ever seen a full menu of what's available. That would be nice to find one of those!

Lunch
1- sachet of chicken and pasta instant soup
1- Tin of tripes in sauce
1- tin of squid in it's own ink
2- tubes of quince cream

Accessories
2- water purification tablets
2- hydrating tablets
3- solid combustible tablets
2- energetic tablets
1- vitamin c tablet
1- envelope of matches
1- stove for warming
1- can opener
1- bag with cellulose paper

That's the only one I have seen on there with a menu. Enjoy the menu

Thanks, madcapmagician. It's kind of funny - right after I posted that message, I saw there was an official "Spanish Rations" thread in these forums:

viewtopic.php?t=54

and if you go to the address mentioned further down - the link to militaryphotos.net where the pics originated - you can see the guy posted a few good pics of that same menusheet:
