Found from a search engine, some stuff looks the same as found in british rations

Great link- Thanks

Yes, the brown biscuits, fruit biscuits, and oatmeal block are the same as the ones in the British meal I am currently sampling.

(Love those fruit biscuits, by the way. I'd buy them by the box if I could. Excellent in the morning with coffee.)

Looks like the Irish are "old school" and use tea bags instead of the powdered instant tea in my Brit ration.

I picked at my British 24 Hour ration some more today, and coincidentally, one of the menu items has a label indicating that it was made in Ireland.

"Apple with Custard", from "BNP LTD".

After reconstituting it with hot water, it was a little gluey, but very satisfying.
