Re: Нормы питания...

Вот тут картинки сухих пайков британской армии если интересно - http://reprorations.com/Britain%20WW2/WW2-Britain.htm

Вот такое описание попалось также:

Since your asking from Great Britain... The standard UK Field Ration was Composite ("Compo") Rations: This is also known as the 14-Man Ration, and was designed to bridge the food needs of troops between the issue and consumption of the 24-Hour Ration and establishment of mess services that could provide the standard "Ration, Field Service", prepared by cooks.

Even though Compo meals varied even within their meal specifications, they generally contained:

Commercial tins of meat, such as Stewed Lamb, Salmon (tapered tins), Oxtail and Steak and Vegetable, Pork and Vegetable, Kidney and Beef with gravy and Meat and Vegetable (yes-the dreaded M&V--your guess as to what mystery meats were in this offering!)

There were also provisions of both commercial and MOF labeled tins containing Sardines (we are producing a 100% copy of these in MOF waterproof wrappers), Bacon, Concentrated Soups, Cigarettes, Margarine, Sweets, Biscuits, Preserved Vegetables and Pudding.

One of the stranger tins is the Bread with Raisin 1 lb tin, which came in cases of ten, and was thrown in with compo lots. To the uninitiated, these smooth sided tins without any labels or markings seem the pinnacle of military confusion, but the unusual height and the "thud" the tin would make when shaken were a give-away to soldiers as to its content. In order to understand the popularity of this item, One must realize that this "bread" (more of a cake) was equally well-liked with slices of tinned ham, cheese spread or as a sandwich WITH BAKED BEANS AS THE TOPPING! (Offer this as tucker at your next re-enactment and spot the Brits in the crowd!).

Issue packets of Toilet Tissue, Matches, bags or tins of Salt, bundles of Service Chocolates, tins of either leaf or powdered tea and some form of Soap rounded this out.
