They could be! It seems killer salads have finally made their way into the ration packs of our armed forces. On Friday the government announced its new menu for our soldiers’ ration packs, and for the first time salads are included, WOOT.
The new ration packs are designed to keep morale and energy levels up, and to combat the menu fatigue Prince Harry spoke about after serving in Afghanistan last year. With meals like Sweet Salmon Pasta, and Mixed Bean Salad, both included in the new menus, I think they are onto a winner.
Unfortunately not in the ration packs is the superbly named ‘Maverick’ Mozzarella & ‘Tom Cat’ Tomato Salad, which could be the best named salad I have come across, and I will definitely be making it in the near future. I saw the recipe on NAVYCS who featured a menu designed for Valentine’s Day by Corporals Richie Carter and Shirley Broderick of the RAF. The whole menu sounds great and it even includes a couple of cocktails. Now, if you want to learn how to make cocktails but don’t fancy joining the RAF you could always try a bartending school 
Obviously I would be interested to know what the ration pack pasta salads taste like, so if anyone knows please let me know!
