Hi,
I've got a British "bacon & beans" entree bag marked:
A.L. 8321 09:34
Does it mean it was made on the 321st day of 1998?

I've allready had a "hamburger & beans" pack of 1998 that tasted ok.
I'm still alive but I hesitate to try my luck one more time

My mother in law maybe...

Update...
I had this entree for breakfast: t'was OK: no strange smell, no strange taste, the beans are a bit pasty and the bacon is not as crisp as like it but with one egg, some toasts and an orange juice it's a perfect way to start a Sunday morning

i guess millitary food is all the same, lots of stuff still good after years out of date...

Hello,
BTW, I've got also two type 'E' British rations and I've seen 'E' boxes contain a 'Lancashire hotpot' entree.

Hmmm... is it really a lamb kidney stew

?

(you see how much I like kidneys

)
