I don't really want them cheap or free, but just for a fair price most of times "fair" means swapping (and that way someone only pays for his own shipping costs, more fair then that is impossible )

I don't really like the spanish rations though. They are of good quality, but I just don't like the spanish food (i'm not a collector, only an eater.. )

You dont know what you are missing, tapas rocks my friend.
And tapas is only the beginning.

I would like to have one...
I have one but I have only bits and pieces since I have been munching on it...
I collect them ,but also eat them too....

Haha, I don't really like meditarean food, except for pasta, and lots of stuff contains olives, and I'm allergic to them (atleast I think so, don't know it for sure)

Theres also a B4 Spanish lunch ration now on UK Ebay.
Beef, tuna, red pepper&meat pate, and fruit cocktail.
And Cracker you dont like Spanish food???
Never tried tapas?

Yep, went to a tapas restaurant with my girl some while ago..

Beside the fact that "tapas" is spanish for smallplates.. (got about 1,000,000 plates with small portions) I just don't like the taste.. I grew up with stew like meals, don't really like strong flavours, except for spiced food (love tabasco, hot curry etc)

I'm more fan of stews, potatoes, pasta, beef (looots of it), lamb meat and wild meat (and "jachtschotels" .. hunting dishes.. )

Hi,
you'd certainly like what I've cooked for dinner: Carbonnades Flamandes, Flemish beef & beer* stew with a lot of onions, spices, lot of beer... classical in Belgium and Northern France

I generaly like the tapas except the seafood ones, so I miss 50% of them !


*I use Jenlain amber

How about those famous Dutch Herrings?

Hollandse Nieuwe.. Hollandse Haring..

It's fermented, raw fish.. covered up with some onions.. very popular.. but no thanks

I don't like fish, crabs, shellfish etc.. grew up in an area far away from the sea.. there is plenty of fish available.. but my father started eating it for about 10 years ago.. but I never liked the taste of it..

Stef's meal is definitly something I would eat, cooking with beer isn't popular in the Netherlands (btw I don't live in Holland >> It's an province.. I live in Brabant) because we add it seperatly while eating , but I got familiar with it in Germany and Belgium.. and I quite like it.

There are some tapas things I like.. mostly with pesto (I like pesto) but the stuff with sea stuff in it, strong tasting cheeses, olives, dried tomatoes etc are not ment for me

Thats probably why I like rations

Rations taste horrible, but if your used to the Dutch kitchen, you'll probably like them..

We eat heavy duty, smooth but good tasting meals, that are very nutricious but... probably.. you wouldn't eat it..
