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.
