Yup, we get those. We used to have Edwardos too but they closed their places here.

I liked the tuna with noodles if I had the cheese sauce. However, I always had to use the tabasco sauce to eat the chicken ala king. Yep, its there for a reason.

Because of MREs, my tastes have changed. I never used to eat hot stuff growing up. Now I keep a bottle of tobacco sauce in the cupboard for a once in a while taste.

Meatballs in BBQ sauce, good. Beef n rice, also good.

Qanon may have predicted it.

I never liked tobasco. The number one ingredient is vinegar. I prefer the sauces where #1 is the peppers.

I think the vinegar is what appeals to me. I see your point about the peppers being the main ingredient.

I’m not seeing the problem here. It’s CFA.

The worst thing in the world is ham and egg c-rats.

I don’t know why I just thought about that.

Never saw ham and mf Liam beans, although I can see the “appeal.”

LOL.

I wonder if they still have the dehydrated strawberries from the first run of MRE’s.

How about that dehydrated potato cake/hash brown? Took almost 1/4 of a canteen of water to make it edible.

Do they still have Lucky Strikes?

My very first C-Ration contained cigarettes. I don't know if they were Lucky's but I traded them for some guy's can of cheese and his crackers.

I think they took out tobacco in 1975.

They did remove them sometime in the 70s but all the C-Rats I ever ate were dated around the Korean War era and had cigarettes.

We had 60 days of C-Rats stored in our Titan II ICBM Launch Control Centers and SAC finally replaced them sometime in 1979 or early 1980. The old ones were going to be trashed and they were all scavenged, including the packs of cigarettes.

My very first MRE, given to me when I came out of the woods after a five-day survival class. Those meatballs were like steak after spending five days eating snakes, rabbits, and one Opossum.

Sorry, no I am living in Vietnam.

There are pizza places here, but I hadn’t had any until now.

Very, very good.

Ham and eggs were not bad if they were warm.

That has been a while.

Early 80’s in Grand Forks we still had C-Rats in the launcher control building, a huge pallet of them. No cigarettes though but I took a hankering to the canned fruit.
