Now there's a blast from the past...my favorite was the tinned CHEESE POSSESED:bigsmile:....and the blue salt pot,they were the days,don't get salt in the new rations either in the food or seperate :tinysmile_angry_t:.....still got a ration tin opener and use it most days.
As far as I am aware, you only need a license for cheese possessed. You will need toe tectors and hard hat if you intend to lift the biscuit browns above head height.
Happy memorys of eating this stuff, around a fire as a youngster and walking across the moors. Must look out my can opener, one of the most usefull items of kit i have ever owned.

Ah compo rations,during my time in the RAF,in Aden,at an up country detachment,we had such rations,my favourite was the Irish stew,it was great,but whenever a tin of cheese was found to be "blown"to the point where the ends of the can bulged,we would put a tiny hole in the can with the tip of the opener then roll the can under someones tent flap,you would be surprised how fast you can clear a tent with it,the smell was diabolical,
Cheers,
Don,
