Funny review and interesting take on this ration pack. Having served in the Norwegian Army as an infantryman and being issued these, I have a supplementary comment. These packs weren't issued as meals to eat on a daily basis. These ration packs were to be kept in the combat backpack as a last-ditch survival measure, to be used if cut off from supply lines over time, even then only to be opened on orders, or in an escape and evade situation. For our daily meals on exercise we'd, if possible, receive hot meals from field kitchens brought forward and be issued squad size field packs of fresh and dried foods for other meals. Each squad would have cooking equipment like a gas/petrol field cooker, so the purpose of the improvised cooker in this ration pack is individual survival. Even if you run out of everything in the pack that gives you calories, you could still heat snow and thereby get some hot water into your body. Which is a nice luxury when you're trying to survive North of the Arctic circle.

I did my bout in the Norwegian Armed Forces in 1997-98. At that point the RSP was being replaced by more modern field rations, and the left over RSP stockpile had to be used up. It seemed like we where being feed those things at every opportunity. I especially remember one I ate cold, straight from the can with just a bit of salt on top, in the middel of the night during a winter exercise. The thing was older than me, produced in 1976 or something like that, and the weird thing is that I remember it as being really good.

I was doing my conscript service in the Norwegian Army back in 1985 and we had those rations. I know the information coming now is a bit late but anyways: We used to make a porridge out of the cake blocks. We used two cake blocks and one cocoa block. Add some water and presto; best porridge you could get for miles around. If you eat a package of those cake blocks and add some of those biscuits in to the mix without drinking plenty of water with it, you will get punished. The word constipation will get a new and deeper meaning. Next time you go to the toilet (approximately two-three days later) you will have the experience similar to giving birth to a full grown polar bear coming out with claws first.

You do not cook the stuff in the can, you fry it like minced meat. Tastes a lot better then. A box of this fried, a couple of slices of bread would sustain a normal person in combat for 24h. We even used these boxes as meat replacements for our "border watch Saturday Pizzas" at korpfjell grensestasjon. These boxes are now equal to gold. One box of these could easily be sold for 150-250NOK (about 15-25USD). A whole SP63 ration could probably be sold for 500NOK.

The reson you should take small bites and chew thoroughly on the cake blocks is that not only are they very dry, but the stuff is compressed, and will swell up a bit. Swallowing big chunks can lead to interesting experiences. This is also why you have the coffee, chocolate and the soup. You need to drink something while eating them. and yes, the blocks are vanilla flavoured, with the exception of one that has cocoa. The joke about them is that they came from a lumber mill and was compressed sawdust, except for the cocoa, that one is compressed bark. I got one of these during boot camp in 1988, and the sergeant told us to 'save the sugar block until you really need it' (we had a 30Km march waiting... That sugar helped some get through in time) The fuel can is also some of the densest fuel you can carry, so well worth keeping also. The RSP (Remains of Exploded Personnell) was also sold as 'Tourist Provisions' up intil 2 or 3 years ago. I still have half a dozen of those cans. It's mostly pork and lard, and will stay good for ages. There are connoiseurs that won't even hesitate to open a pre-1970 can. They claim it gets better as it ages. The slightly later version pack I got had teabags...

I have heard a lot of things about Reservestridsproviant (RSP) (roughly translates to Spare Combat Ration) from people. Many people despise it, but others absolutely love it. The last order by the Norwegian military for RSP was in 1995 and it is edible for a minimum of 20 years or so Wikipedia says, this is however consistent with people saying they were eating RSP dated from the 60's in the late 70's and 80's, not sure if that is just some military hyperbole/in-joke though.

The best way to enjoy RSP as an emergency field ration is to first crush it into smaller pieces, fry it a litte bit in the pan from the kit and then add water and the soup block. Saves time, adds (or masks out) taste and in my opinion tastes better. I remember collecting coffee rations from two guys not drinking coffee in my squad and preparing it after the breakfast cake block with all the sugar cubes, i.e. triple coffee ration and 6 cubes of sugar in the big cup that was around my canteen. After a long night of sentry duty in cold and wet conditions that was the best coffee in the world.

I used to love the RSP in my time in the army. We used to cut it in two, and coock them on the oventop, put them between two slices of bread, and call them "field burgers". The oldest one i ate was from 1957. It was just fine. Funfact. RSP is still sold in stores in Norway, called "Turistproviant" - Tourist proviant that is. produktkatalog.orklafoods.no/dagligvare/produktkatalog/produkter/Middag/Ferdigretter/Hermetikk/118454/

How strange, the sugar cubes were produced by a British company.

I would have loved to have sent this to him but I promised I would review one and sent the other to the ration museum since it's pretty rare. Cheers

The RSP said the weight in the first column (the weight column, signifying grams)... and the Kakeblokker m/Kakao said so ON THE PACKAGE.. how about just.. read?

Careful Gundog, one of these old rations might be your doom one of these days, or at least a bad stomach for while.
