Mais bien sûr ... le menu britannique n'est pas destiné à la consommation humaine

Bien non, il est concu pour la consummation des Britanniques

I tell you what, the French Army ratpacks in the 1980's were a damn sight worse than the British Army ones.

Seulement par les anglais britanniques, ne serait pas bien avec les écossais! Vive les haggis.

I quite enjoyed the ratpacks in the late 60s and 70s - spangles were great, tins of salmon. The thick ginger biscuits were a bit filling but otherwise the only improvement would have been a packet of fags.

Well you got the fags (rough Gauloises) as well as a small bottle of very rough brandy, but on the food front it was distinctly meagre.

The tins of salmon appeared to present the cooks with a bit of a challenge.
I remember a Bedford that was half full of them at end-ex. Cook was dishing them out to the married guys to take home.

If that's an Int Corps bloke with the initials CD, I've worked with him in the past and he has a brain the size of a planet.

Long sleeves, open neck collar? C'est possible?

When I saw the thread title my mind conjured up a French marksman putting a hole in Nelson!!!
Why, not a clue.

Don't forget the Tiffin bars

Tiffin was made by Frys and then Cadbury took it over (I think)

Did he look that Gallic when he started the attachment or is it something in the Vichy Water?

Now owned by the Septics.
So, they would be called Nooner bars if revived.
