But let's remember guys......
Some people use "Cheese Posessed" as a sporting accessory... Look at these two guys fighting over the last bit (It's that old, the cheese has turned black!)

Aaah cheese possessed had its uses......
Take:
1 tin cheese possessed
1 block hexi
3 small stones
place the small stones in a triangle srrounding hexi block
Light hexi
place tin on stones with the "seam" facing your mates basha (about 2' away)
Sneak away and be somewhere else innocently whistling in front of witnesses
After 3 mins the cheese liquifies and boils
After another 2 the pressure splits the seam open and sprays liquid cheese in a wide arc
Ho hum, little things & little minds

I found the only use for cheese posessed was as a diversion tactic. Flies used to swarm round it, and leave us alone, maybe that was the idea. Not necessarily thinking inside the box, try the outside sometimes.
www.surplusandadventure.com do some packs, but would much rather take some ingredients and make do rather than start to torture my digestive system once again.

We have Norsk home guard show up every year at our state Na'tl guard camp. Very well behaved bunch. Had a chance to try some of their rations about 20 years ago. Didn't seem like anthing special, but maybe things have changed. Are they still using mausers?

true, just some toxic things which are put in there deliberately to keep you on your toes!

Hi,
I joined in on the hysterical about buying these £10 axes from http://www.genuinearmysurplus.co.uk/pages/home, which has been going on in the edged tools forum (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=11059&page=1&pp=20).
About an hour after placing the order for one by phone (very nice people) I had a look at the web site and saw they did British Army ration packs for £4.50 each, so I rang back and they added two to my bill and said they wouldnt increase the postage. Everything arrived the next morning by APC! Great price and nice people.

MRE actually stands for "Mainly Rat Excrement." All of it, UK or USA is minging! I would rather eat egg noodles with bugs then have to eat military gak!
I dont think their two bad, bangers and beans, and "steak" seemed alright. Not quite sure why there are so many sugar sachets though!
Snake and Pigmy pies and cheese possessed.....................Those were the days................................ 
If anyone is interested...

the boiled sweets in the british 24h ration pack are all different colours and some of them taste pretty wierd. Also the different types of biscuit (brown and fruit) either give you (supposedly) diahorrea or constipation. Our NCO told us to eat one of each just to make sure.
Everything else though in the box is really nice though
