Scottish Army Rations Pack

This may help explain many Scottish military traditions including the use of the bagpipes

Odd that those ratio packs haven't appeared in any episode of "Gary: Tank Commander".

Did anyone spot the deliberate mistake? Yes, that's right - the Yorkie bar had FRUIT in it!! No way that's getting into a Scotsman's ration pack. And surely with all that chocolate, there would be at least one portion of ready-mixed batter to coat the Tunnocks' tea cake/caramel wafers?

(On a serious note, most of the stuff about the Andrew was bollocks. Part of the essence of comedy is that some of it is accurate.)

You mean it was spoof? I thought something was fishy due to the lack of Irn Bru and Buckie.

There seems to be a whole genre of ration pack reviews on YouTube most of which take themselves extremely seriously so this was a welcome antidote - the first clue being when the pack of Tunnocks caramel wafers appeared, followed by the single Tunnock’s tea cake (with military grade chocolate) and the radioactive Trident heater for his Pot Noodle. The North Korean ration is of course a Not Poodle.

We used to take the processed cheese out of the tin any play hockey with it.
