Food Is On The Way!

They’re standard-issue to British squaddies in Iraq, but now half a million Army ration packs are being sent to victims in the hurricane disaster zone. What will they make of them? We sample the contents.
Breakfast comes in the form of bacon and beans… A quick glance at the ingredients reveals the curry really is mutton dressed as lamb, but no worries, the other ingredients sound more than passable - natural yoghurt, coriander, ginger puree… I desist from emptying in the sachet of hot pepper sauce, illustrated with a skull and crossbones… The crackers are akin to cardboard.

Chow down! Yeah, it’s kinda handy that there’s 4000 calories in each of these rations, considering the average American physique and intake.
