COMPO VETERANS… WHICH TIN ARE YOU GRABBING FIRST? 🤔
Before protein shakes, meal deals and artisan coffee, there was COMPO.
A cardboard box full of mystery, disappointment, black humour and occasionally absolute gold.
Some blokes would swap half their kit for a tin of Bacon Grill.
Others reckoned Curried Chicken was the king of the ration pack.
There were the loyal supporters of Steak & Kidney Pudding, the die-hard Cheese Processed fans, and the desperate souls left staring at a tin of Oatmeal Blocks wondering where life had gone wrong.
And who remembers the fruit pudding? Luxury or punishment?
Love it or hate it, those old compo tins weren’t just food – they were morale, banter and memories that have somehow survived decades.
That’s why we’ve turned some of the most iconic compo tins into military-themed coasters for your brew station, bar, office or coffee table.
🥫 Bacon Grill
🥫 Curried Chicken
🥫 Goulash
🥫 Mixed Fruit Pudding
🥫 Steak & Kidney Pudding
🥫 Cheese Processed
🥫 Sausages
🥫 Oatmeal Blocks
Right then… let’s settle this once and for all.
👇 What’s the BEST compo tin ever made?
👇 And which one went straight to the bottom of the swap pile?
The old and bold will know…
Warning: This post may cause flashbacks to hexi cookers, bashas, stagging on and arguments that have been going on since the Cold War.

I spent most of my army career on the back of these. The thing that resonated most of all was that famous catch phase, ‘Mind the tail gate’, not forgetting the absolutely zero suspension, which probably explains why my back is f**ked and I have no feeling in my right leg. If you were lucky, you got a decent driver, but often you got one who deliberately accelerated when approaching potholes, speed bumps and bl**dy cattle grids. I can recollect that jolt to the spine now as my a**e bounced off those moving park benches, followed by shouts of ‘Watch where you’re driving, you f**king idiot!’
Yes, it’s all coming back to me now, kit-kat a**e, the Moonies, trapping my ball sack in the middle benches, getting drenched when the canvas cover got full of water and suddenly gave way. Bosting for a p*ss, queuing up at the en-suite p*ss hole, the central support hole.
But we didn’t care, we were young and stupid, and it didn’t matter what sort of transport was provided, if you didn’t have to tab it back to camp. Strangely, some of the best kips I have ever had, have been in the back of a Bedford 4 tonner, aided by a crate of Herforders of course. Urban surfing on the canopy. Best memories ever.

BULLIES AND BU****IT Warning! If easily offended, I really do advise you not to read this book.
