They sure have come a long way from ham and egg C-Rats.
And ham & eggs was the best of the C-rats
at least my “favorite”It looked kinda strange tho.
Better than being hungry anyway.
Think those things were made for Korean War troops.
I could open a can with that little p38 faster
than with a electric opener today.
C-rat ham & eggs w/Tabasco weren’t so bad. Heated w/C-4 was even better.
Spaghetti/meatballs in the large can were good. Pound cake was to be fought over. Ham & MoFo’s, uh...not so much.
If you could locate LRP rations, that was good eatin’. The original freeze dried.
Later MRE’s: much much better than 1980’s MREs which stood for “Meals Rejected by Ethiopians”.
Now that I’m retired, I cook w/fresh food every night. Only wrapper I open now is a 3 Musketeers.
