mmmmmmm... is that MOD issued Biscuits AB I can see on the shelf. My mouth is drooling at the thought.
For those who have no idea what I'm talking about... here's the entry for Biscuits AB from Arrsepedia (the army's Wikipedia site): "Nobody has ever really known what the AB stood for. 'Anal blockage' was the most common answer... based on their well known ability to glue your outlet valve so tight, you thought you were about to get a turtle's head a la Alien. These really were the food of Satan: thousands of soldiers spent millions of man hours trying to make them taste OK, and in the end, all they were able to do was crumble them into a compo all-in stew."
Personally I preferred the Biscuits Brown which I still have in large amounts at home - despite leaving the Army nearly 15 years ago (saving these for a rainy day you see). Anyways these are described on Arrsepedia as: "Pack contained within the 24 Hour ration pack. Consists of 6 slices of compressed cardboard, occasionally supplied with dog shit in a can to spread over said cardboard."
