The food is designed to keep you alive. That’s about it. Try living on C-rations for a few months. Lol. You might prefer death.
With all respect, I could probably live on C-rats and enjoy it, as long as all my other needs were being taken care of and maybe I had a few extra crackers! They have mystery meat in that, sometimes, right? Wooooo-hoooooo!
But I understand what you mean. This is why the first thing we always do after an extended camping trip is hit the nearest burger joint.
