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.
It wasn’t that the C-rats were so bad. It was that there were only those same 12 meals... day in... day out... day in... day out... day after day after day come sun or monsoon or typhoon... day in... day out...
