I used to love Ham and Eggs, while just about everyone else in my Vietnam unit hated them so much that I had all I could eat.

I recall that the ham slices were good, even at room temperature, though a tad greasey.

I didn’t care for the Ham and Lima Beans, but then I’ve never been a fan of Lima Beans. The jams and jellys were always good. Peanut butter a bit dry for my taste, but my wife would make up peanut butter cookies after I returned from two or three weeks of artillery gunnery at Ft. Knox, and brought back all of the tins of peanut butter.

I think I still have some individual C-ration tins, unopened, in the basement.

Oh no! I just saw the box of eggs and ham and it brought back memories.

That stuff was gray and the ham pieces were brownish. When I went on Field training Exercises I always carried a bottle of hot sauce so I could choke the C-rations down. The actual canned ham wasn’t bad.
