24 Hour Ration Kit?

[Dusza Beben]

I've decided to rethink this whole thing,

24 hour expedition ration supply:

Breakfast: 1 pot of tea (preferrably Lapsang Souchong), 3 eggs up with stripey bacon, cheese grits and sourdough toast with plenty of butter for the toast and milk and sugar for the tea. Navy cut cigarettes and Bourbon for the after breakfast planning of the hunt. Because nothing goes together better than alcohol and firearms.

Lunch afield: Antelope biltong, Earl Grey from a thermal flask and a handfull of kumquats for the vitamin C and because they sound funny. (and more Bourbon)

Dinner: Lobster bisque, fresh baked bread and a caesar salad to start followed by at least 1 doz. raw blue point oysters with horseradish sauce. Herb rubbed fresh roast loin of whatever had been slain that day with fresh roast asparagus and new potatos paired with an appropriate wine for appearances (because we're still drinking Bourbon)

After Dinner: brandy and vintage cigars fireside (yes, that's Bourbon in the brandy snifter) along with a fruit and cheese platter.

I've got to add that the fabled Biscuits Brown'd work as a decent replacement for dwarf bread.

And for hunting or self defence (very effective when thrown "Frisby Style" at prey or an enemy)

Joking aside - I found the easiest way to eat them was to soak them in the "Porridge Mix" (very much like packet "ReadyBrek) till they went mushy then stir them in and eat the lot.

I think they're fine as they are, as long as you've got a drink.

Biscuits Fruit're absolutely stunning with coffee.

Almost, but a gentleman would have loose leaf tea in a caddy when roughing it like that.

I think I now have to put such a kit together.

Loose leaf tea (in a caddy)
water
Milk
Cheese (Cheddar and a potted stilton)
Bread
Crumpets
fresh fruit (apples, oranges...)
Butter
pots of Strawberry jam, marmalade and honey
Patum Peperium
saucisson sec or similar
oats
salt
hard boiled eggs (Chicken, Duck or Quail as the fancy takes me)
bottle of wine

breadboard
bread knife
cheese board
cheese knife
butter knife
a tea pot and tea cup (with saucer)
a setting of fine china and silverware
a glass
napkin
table cloth
a toasting fork
a small pan for boiling water, cooking porridge,
alcohol stove (faster and more discrete than building a fire)
corkscrew
All the above contained in a case with folding legs so that it can act as a table.

Shooting stick or some form of camp stool (after all one needs to be able to sit to eat)

One shouldn't let one's standards slip just because one is not in the heart of the metropolis.

    We were lucky enough, not too long ago, to find a very sturdy Edwardian style picnic set in a box so tough you could just about sit on it.  It was at some over-priced specialty shop, but in the clearance section.

Just coffee. Lots of it. And perhaps some trail mix to settle the stomach.
