Not quite that old but remember it being in the ration packs in Oz in the 70s.

Jam tins made a good delayed explosive device when place in someones elses fire. Not that I would ever do anything so foolish!

Came back to my hootchie one evening to find it had lost its water proof qualities and was perforated with holes from hot jam tin sharpnel after a visit by a saboteur.

I was in the army here in Portugal, and back in 1995 Portuguese army issue rations had jelly and canned fruit, among other things.

Is that a bad thing? Ohhh...

They have a new one out - lincolnshire plum. Ate a whole one of them the night before last too...

They need real butter on 'em though...

I like dried banana chips and tropical mix which is dried banana papaya pinaepple and coconut etc.
Although I havent had a sun dried banana for ages(looks like something you might step in but nice)

I carry lots of individually packaged peanut butter and jam sarnies.
Nutella or the new Cadburys choc spread are also very good.
Once the sarnie is double wrapped in two individual sandwich bags it is pretty much indestructible.
They can be eaten one at a time and the sticky centre keeps them in one piece.
Also the filling is very stable and not temperature sensitive so I have no worries about
them going off too quickly.

Happy trails......torc.

I think this might be a bit of UK/US engilish. Jim is talking about what you would call raw Jello and not what we would call Jam or Jelly( basically Jam without the lumpy bits ).

Jam is not that easy to eat on the move without the bread and butter (or peanut butter).

A big bag of dates, each date has 20-23 cals.

Great added to bannock with walnuts & honey, liven up a pigeon & rhubarb stew, don't make a mess of your kit, light, cheap and taste fantastic! I love'em!

Came back to my hootchie one evening to find it had lost its water proof qualities and was perforated with holes from hot jam tin sharpnel after a visit by a saboteur.

The same thing happened to me in Norway after my mate did me a favour by putting a can of treacle pudding on my kero heater while I was out.

I also like to carry a snack pack of jellie babies.

This whole thread reminds me of one of the biggest leathing I got as a kid. I kept nicking the raw jelly when my mum was cooking for a party even after being caught once. When it came to the trifle there was not enough left and none left in the pantry!
