Most of its contents seem to be the same colour - a MAJOR no-no as regards food presentation. I do recall hearing that a trade/barter system usually goes on amongst the various nationalities. Everybody finds fault with their own rations, especially after several weeks / months of it - all part of human nature. Invariably, certain components of OTHER nation's rations will become very popular. Anyhow, beats the heck out of the rations issued in previous eras.

I'd hate to see the rations issued in previous eras then. Interesting how national diets change over the years. You wouldn't have found Lamb Curry in a British solder's rations in WWII. The influx of Commonwealth immigrants has evidently altered British cuisine in some fundamental ways (many would say for the better -- in any event it's much more diverse than it was fifty years ago).

Matt the Bruins Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I firmly believe that the pre-colonial diet explains why the British Empire was so big on colonizing faraway places. If my staple foods included tripe and blood pudding, a year-long ocean voyage to relocate to India or Southeast Asia would sound pretty good too!

Brit.s and curry go way back - and in fact, British army rations in WW2 did include some with curry! Here's a bloke complaining about it and describing what they got to eat in Burma. cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I remember Italian (I think) canned rations had the depot symbol stamped into the can, and nearly all the cans that made it to North Africa were stamped "AM". The Italian troops called the stuff Asino Morte, dead donkey, while the Germans called it Alter Mann, old man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teh bunneh Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I guess I'm something of a grill purist. I don't consider those roller things you see at movie theatres and 7-11s to be "grills"... So unless there's a guy in an apron with an open flame back there inside that machine, I'm going to have to say No on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
