a few days on rations is okay, a few weeks… yikes… leave it to the inventive lads sitting for hours in the belly of Mother LAV to come up with new and improved recipes for LAV living… here is the first in the series… I’d love to have more recipes, so please send in your fav.

Ah, the creativity of the cold, tired and hungry when confronted with “food” (or a reasonable facsimile) in a bag. Our military isn’t the only one interested in such culinary improv – here’s what’s out there for American rations:

as well as some ideas for how to make the British group ration pack a bit nicer to consume:

Thanks for sharing!
pleasure! rest assured that all of these recipes have been tried & tested in the exclusive notional kitchens of the CF’s operational LAVs… for a true authentic flavour however, add diesel fumes, dust, semi-dark, the relentless blast and freeze of mother’s LAV’s heater/fan, the company of 6 – 8 fully-kitted out infantrymen, and dine to a few cuts of Rage Against The Machine, Wake Up!, AC/DC, Metallica…

I’m still chuckling as I write this. I particularly like “rats”.
Reminds me of the traditional recipe for boiled loon.
In short:
Take one loon
stuff with carefully chosen single rock
boil for three days
change water at sundown each day
on fourth day, cool
throw away loon
eat rock
