    The British ration packs have improved so much over the years, a friend who was in the army in the early 70's said they were called rat packs because only desperate rats would want to eat them but by the first year in Afghanistan the Americans were bartering things for bits of the British packs. He retired after that so we watched this together after I found it and he is tempted to get a pack just to see what they are eating now, each unpackaging he kept saying damn that looks good, you made an old man smile today.

    The reason UK Ration packs have Tabasco sauce is due to the first Gulf War. British troops would trade our vastly superior 24 hour ration packs with US troops for various supplies. Whilst UK troops were not impressed with the US MRE they did like the little bottles of Tabasco sauce that came with them. To that end they would ask for the Tabasco sauce bottles, this fed back to the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) and it was decided to include them in UK ration packs.

But man the Tea! I got schooled on the proper way to brew tea! Most guys did it by adding the tea bag first and very few took it white (added milk). We seemed to Brew up often it became kinda comforting no mater what shit state you where in we would have a cuppa. I was often the tea bitch since I was the token "Yank" on the team. Good times!

    I served in the British Army between 1971 and 1982 and our ration packs were a bit good, for the most part. Here is a list, the main meals were all were large tins: chicken curry, chicken in white sauce, steak and kidney pudding, red salmon (I used to swap my tin of salmon for three tins of S and K pudding), bacon roll, skinless sausages, steak and onion casserole, mashed potato powder (had to add cheese and butter to make it edible), tinned processed cheese (an aquired taste), tinned butter, Tiffin chocolate bar, fruit flavoured sweets, dog biscuits (bloody awful), tube of condensed milk, tube of strawberry jam (spread the last two on the dog biscuits).

    I was in the Army cadets in the early 1970´s. When we went on battle camp training we were given old ration packs from the 50´s & 60´s. We loved them. My favourite was the tube of condensed cream (bit smaller than a tube of toothpaste) mixed with the tube of strawberry jam. I joined the Army in the late 70´s and while i liked the newer ration packs they never seemed to be as good as the "out of Date" rations they gave us as Cadets. There was a suet beef steak pudding in one ration pack that the guys called "babies heads" pudding.......cant remember why. Good to see the MOD has moved to normal tea bags, we used to get this monster tea bag with bromide in it, strong as hell but lasted for 3 or 4 cups if you kept it.

      The countries so wrecked after ww2 we lived off of garbage food for decades because we were so poor (exaggeration for the lulz don't @ me)
      Yet Germany and Japan never gained that reputation.
      Admittedly Germany and Japan had the full power of the American economy thrown at them to rebuild.
      I dunno whether it's because we weren't as wrecked or were too proud but it wasn't until we joined the EEC/EU that we started to really recover in the 70s and 80s.

    Ow, ow, ow.
    Friendly tip for you Americans:
    Tea bag first. Then hot water. When the tea is brewed, remove the tea bag.
    If you take sugar or honey, now is when you put it in.
    Then, and only then, put in the milk. (Milk is an emulsifier and blocks the holes in the tea bag, so you end up with a pale, weak tasting tea).
    It also cools the tea, so do that last to adjust to a safe temperature and to taste.
    No different from instant coffee, really, just takes a bit longer.
    Enjoy the tea.
    Simples.

    To get the full experience you need to add some field dust, dirt and/or sand that always ends-up in your meal.

    I remember the compo (compound) rations (UK) from twenty years ago.
    Think they were emergency rations for if the mess could not bring up hot food, and the standard field rations were gone.
    They were 24 hour, but in a much smaller box than you showed. I could get a pair of the compos with a pair of field rations with all my kit,
    The compo rations were munch more energy dense, think fat and sugar, but similar components to what shown here. Sweets, 3 or4 energy bars *2. 2 teas, 2 coffees, but 8 of those sugar packets and 4 creamer. 2 cold drinks. Then 2 heated main meals and breakfast. But most of the bits were in mini cans. 3 foil packs of biscuits, 1 fruit 2 savory. These could be resealled. Zip lock. Plus cheese spread, + jam or marmalade + a pair of meat spreads. These packs had a micro can opener, 5 wind proof matches, these could be lit under water and burn for about 15 seconds. Then a pack of waxed matches. Mini Sachets of salt and pepper. Lastly water sterilisation tabs *4 plus loo roll and wet wipes and a fire starter block, you could quarter. Could start a wood fire with this easy peasy.
    Cooking was normally done on a methanol stove kit, meth supplied separately.

Both bucket list items. I have tried most of the items in your ration, all were excellent. Yours appears that way as well. You divided the meals perfectly, and all components looked delicious. I love the curried rice. I have had it twice. I am quite fond of the cheese biscuits also. The cola drink, is, interesting, agreed. Not bad, just, different, like A flat cola. Bean and pasta salad, looks awesome as well. Tabasco rocks !! Once again, great ration and review Sticky. Peace, John.

    The British ORPs are really impressive. Granted, they are 24 hour packs, but they are superbly stocked. I've never bought one, there aren't many that don't have at least one or more mains that are way way outside my wheelhouse. And they are kind of pricey, so it's hard for me to jump in on one knowing there will be a main I have no interest in eating. But they are really impressive. Anyway, great review as always. I love your channel.

      Marine Engineering branch Royal Navy, my 1st ship was a steam ship and we used to bake spuds on the exhaust manifolds of the turbo alternators (ships generators) as a treat for the midnight to 4am watch (middle watch not sure if that is what you call it in the USN), later on when I was on a Type 21 frigate the breakfast chef used to turn to at about 5am during the morning watch and he used to knock up bacon butties for the watch keepers. Saying that when I did use rat packs, even back in the 80’s I thought they were not too bad for a short period of use but it was all tinned stuff, heavy in your pack and the AB Biscuits you could use as body armour at a stretch. Got to say the ones shown in this video look pretty well thought out but I would be trading the bean salad, beans are the devil’s food, they make me puke on contact lol!

    A good video showing today's army compo rations. A lot of negative comments coming in. That tells me that most people putting comments on on have never served in the armed forces. When you out in the desert for two three or four weeks at a time sleeping on the floor and not having a bath or shower for all that time . Only a quick wash down . Any food that keeps you going is good food. Try putting corned beef on army biscuits in the lybyian desert .These compo rations are really posh compared to rations in 1960.
