Not sure if this is of any help, but it seems to suggest there is no "current menus" list.
https://armycadets.com/county_uploads/2 ... _res-U.pdf

On the last page is says:
The menus in the rations change on a regular basis, when they are packed by the supplier, usually every three or four months. In order to combat menu fatigue, as part of the continuous improvement and to respond to feed back from the end user, a number of the main meal components will be changed. Because of these frequent changes the menu configuration is an organic process. However each outer box of both the 24 Hr and 1 in 5 of the 10 Man rations have a menu sheet specific to that pack.

They learnt a few lessons from the old Menu A-G, which were much the same for years.
You won't know the menu until you open each pack there is an evaluation form with 3 columns, Like, OK, Dislike, it that lists everything inside.
I've got friends serving and I've had meals they haven't even tried, most items remain constant just rotated around.

I got these in the two cases of ORPs I just bought.
Seem to be issued May 2016, so if what's written in that PDF is true, it's not the latest menus, but just what happened to be in the May 2016 cases, but I honestly have no clue :)

Sorry about the crappy quality but I think they're readable. Just took a pic quickly to show them.
I can scan them if you really want.
Of course you gotta click on them :)

Just to confirm the idea of no confirmed set menus, attached is my Box B listing from July 2016.
Only 2 months later than Synthpeter's Box B.
As you can see, there was a number of changes, just in that short space of time.
Us Brits always like to be different, or we just haven't got a clue! :D :D

Just eat the treacle pudding, you'll be OK.
After the Chicken and the Egg, came the "Omelet"!

I should have thought to ask you housil. I can't believe I forgot. Any info I can get is appreciated.

Thank you all for you help. If any just has 2016 menu list thst would be awesome just from the year 2016 will be fine. I have come to understand that they change once every quarter or so. Thst being said as long as they are 2016. Heck even 2015 of the more rare stuff will work.

Thanks again, Oldsmokey.
