Lancashire Hotpot from UK ORP review

[sodjer]

dont worry about it housil i have several orp from 2003 -2007 and thats what you get
there was a change around 2007(due to ration fatigue and rambling from the press)
i got a box from 2008 last week and it is a world apart in quality and taste

Housil,

(...) were all marked with a current date (i.e. 01/09/08) and a julian date (8331) and a color sticker indicating what menu it was. (...) And mine all had the new hot temperate components. The chcolate bars were all from Canada.

Sounds like the new 24 hour multi-climate rations (MCR)?

I'm thinking maybe you got a field stripped ration.

That´s my question.
But on this mreinfo.com page, it says what I got too:


I opend another 2001 from my stock:



Just one cracker each, but 2 chocolate bars

That picture of the hotpot seems strange, did it actually have pork in it?

Hotpot is supposed to be Beef or Lamb! Looks like it might have been mis-labeled to me

I don´t know

Just to make sure, the white plate is the hotpot I had, the colored plate (last pic) was an earlier pork casserole I had

How did it taste?

Ollie, I think you will find the beef and dumplings a bit better.
Just add more salt, pepper and a knifepoint of mustard
Also some good bread and butter
