Be up a mountain in a sleeping bag knowing that its freezing out side the tent, with demarara brown sugar and a little cold milk that creates a kinda moat aroung the edge of the porridge nursing a very small hang over from the prev nights malt whiskey consuption and washed down with mountain...

Hi all, I know that we should all be catching and skining our food, but does any one have any info on decent army meals. I have lived quite happily on the boil in the bag types that the British use not so keen on the arctic type. I fail to see what is so supreme about the chicken supreme yuck.
