Throughout the 90's I always had a "yellow-ish" melmac plate and cup (I don't remember ever having a bowl). We also had the stainless canteen cup, that was the most useful piece of kit when truly in the field and eating mre's. The melmac stuff was mainly used when "hot" meals were coming out from the base in hay boxes. At some point in the early 90's we got the little stove (metal piece) that fit on the bottom of the canteen cup and could boil water with the solid fuel tablets.
I have never seen the blue stuff that is mentioned above in military service.
