Just got through watching a program on HISTORY CHANNEL, about the British efforts in WWII to knock out a "heavy water" production plan in Norway, a product that is essential for the development of an atomic bomb. A team was dropped into Norway to sabatoge that plant. The code name of that team was "The SWALLOWS". Among their supplies they carried a large quantity of PEMMICAN.
I hope they were able to establish very quickly upon landing a local source of milk for their tea.
It does make me wonder who came up with that code name, and possibly, was that person aware of the S&A.
