According to my veteran friend, him and his mates didn't carry butter in their butterdish but something called Schmaltz. It's what your grandparents would call dripping, basically the fatty by-product of roasting meat. For Germans , Schmalz comes from pigs or geese, which is what most of their trad cuisine is based on. Griebenschmalz is dripping with little bits of crackling in in and IMO is the nuts. Spread it on bread, add a little bit of salt and fly away to high sodium / cholesterol heaven. You either love it or vomit.
Many variations on the theme adding onions and or bacon. Goose fat even. All good stuff for the hungry landser, a handy supplement, such fat content could be missing from his diet.
Not needed so much these days as our diet has more fat in it.
It is a tasty treat, the winter markets often have it for sale.
I think it works best on the dark, heavy breads like volkskorn etc.
Toast is good too.

Ooh yeah (looks for drool emoticon)

I read that as "I think it works best in the dark" 
Probably true for the Schmalz Jungfrauen.
Cor! Dripping with pork scratchings! MMMMMMM Cardiovascular time bomb!

Not when you need that fuel to keep warm.
Fat is not bad for you, too much fat is.

Indeed. However, i'd like to see us airsofters being able to justify it. i'd like to use my 24hr ration packs but being a fatty i can't justify the 8 billion calories designed for real troops in the field.

Just eat the rat packs and enjoy Fremsley, at our size it wont make any difference! It's a bit like having a diet coke with the big mac 
yum slurp crunch burp!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Help! I can't see my feet!
