Reservestridsproviant

Reservestridsproviant (meaning "reserve battle provision" in Norwegian), normally abbreviated as RSP is a canned food made for the Norwegian Army. It is also sold in some shops, and is quite popular because it is very easy to prepare over a campfire or portable stove. A similar commercial product is sold as Snurring. Recently, the Army has started phasing out RSP in favor of the Drytech Field Meal.
