I heard about guys who liked them. You are a rare breed.
They used to pack the meals in boxes of 12 IIRC. I never seemed to get first crack at them so would end up with the-—uhh, less favored ones.
The eggs in ham and eggs sucked especially when they were cold. I thought the eggs needed lots of salt to make them palatable. Some guys would tabasco sauce everything but I hated that stuff.
The jams and peanut butter varied in quality but what was real annoying were the ones that had been overcooked and were hard to spread.

One of them was on Iwo Jima and claimed they would bury their ration cans in the ground to warm them. Do not know if he was pulling my leg or not.
