ROC[25] - ratpack cheese

ratpack [canned / tinned] cheese -
So, during several training exercises in the Group Control, we ended up eating from "ratpacks" of a decent vintage.
it was almost completely impossible to melt this, however we tried nuking it [oven, grill and microwave]
I can't say I really enjoyed it in the way I would a slab of Wensleydale, but it was edible.

Of the other items in the 8-man packs ; the "Biscuits, oatmeal" - being very hard - were best beaten up and cooked as porridge ...
Some of the canned & packet [boil-in-the-bag] meals were actually quite nice !

It was quite a challenge, logistically speaking, to cook / feed a crew & a half plus the "extras" like the warning team in the small galley and clean up properly afterwards.
