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

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

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

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
