Looks like a pretty decent spread, lots of COTS goodies. I do love Mountain House!

I was going to say the same. Nice spread and pics norge.

Here I can buy plenty of those MH in Walmart at affordable prices.
They are made by Oregon Freeze, the same company that makes the MCW's.

I would hazard a guess that Mountain House has an exclusive contract with the MOD, as Chicken Tikka isn't something you'd see in the USA.
I Wouldn't mind trying it, though !

Apparently, it's available off-the-shelf in Europe:

I really like MH, but a single USD3,50 meal für GBP7,50 is insane...

As an old school Brit squaddie, looks nice BUT, and it's a biggy. Not enough hot drinks, 2 tea packets the size of a doll set and 2 coffees, 4 whiteners, 4 tiny packets of sugar, and one hot chocolate......
Old school is 6 teabags that make a pint of tea, a brew strong enough to strip paint and 6 25gm sized bags of sugar.
