[Vietnam Vet From New Mexico]

The fed us Korean War era C-Rations when I was in Viet Nam in 1965. Ham & Lime Beans was my favorite. Most guys hated them so I could always swap what I didn't for them

I liked Ham and Limas. Had a hard time getting down those sliced boiled spuds but ate them anyway.
Did not like the spaghetti either.

A good thing about the main entrees being canned was that if a vehicle or a generator was available you can crack the lid and use the engine heat to warm them up. I guess MRE pouches might melt.

The pound cake was the best thing in C-rats. Also liked any of the fruits since you good drink the juice they were canned in.

After 3 days humping the A Shau eating C-Rats a bologna sandwich with mayo tasted like a 5 star meal.
