Field ration eating device

The field ration eating device (FRED) is an Australian eating utensil and multi-tool that serves as a combination of a can opener, bottle opener, and spoon.

It is issued to the Australian Defence Force for use with its Combat Ration One Man field rations, and was first issued around 1943.

[1][2] Its NATO Stock Number (NSN) is 7330-66-010-0931 and the item name is "opener, hand, can".

[3][4] It is also humorously referred to as the "fucking ridiculous eating device".
