Looks like a pretty decent spread, lots of COTS goodies. I do love Mountain House!

I was going to say the same. Nice spread and pics norge. :mrgreen: Here I can buy plenty of those MH in Walmart at affordable prices. :wink:
They are made by Oregon Freeze, the same company that makes the MCW's. :D

I would hazard a guess that Mountain House has an exclusive contract with the MOD, as Chicken Tikka isn't something you'd see in the USA.

I Wouldn't mind trying it, though ! :D

Apparently, it's available off-the-shelf in Europe: http://www.mountainhouse.eu/mountain-ho ... ith-rice-1

I really like MH, but a single USD3,50 meal für GBP7,50 is insane... :oops:

As an old school Brit squaddie, looks nice BUT, and it's a biggy. Not enough hot drinks, 2 tea packets the size of a doll set and 2 coffees, 4 whiteners, 4 tiny packets of sugar, and one hot chocolate......

Old school is 6 teabags that make a pint of tea, a brew strong enough to strip paint and 6 25gm sized bags of sugar.
