How about some easy-to-satisfy hunger? How about something you don't have to cook? A Spanish recipe from my late (Italian) mother's cookbook:

GAZPACHO

1 clove garlic
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 lb ripe tomatoes
1/3 cup green peppers, finely chopped
1/3 cup white onions, finely chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
2 cups tomato juice
1/4 cup wine vinegar
salt
pepper

Mash the garlic with 1/4 tsp olive oil, and rub it around the bowl. Peel the tomatoes, and chop them into chucks, but don’t crush or mash the tomatoes too much. Leave them chunky. Add the remaining ingredients, and refrigerate for 3 hours. Serve chilled.

Lots of Greek recipes there... a good one is stewed lemon-oregano - chicken in olive oil...over a bed of rice or new potatoes..or whatever.

Lots of lemon and it is soo good.

Health nuts: remove skin of chicken before cooking.

In 1971, in Vietnam, we were boiling water in our canteen cup over a sliver of lit C-4! LOL!

I recall the instructions we received at ROTC boot camp in 1970 concerning C-4.

"It's OK to light a fire with it, but I wouldn't advise stamping on it."

Got one for you:

Petesch Family Ranch Dressing

1 qt mayonnaise
1 qt buttermilk
2 heaping tsps garlic salt
2 tsps onion salt
1 tsp MSG
1 tbsp coarse ground pepper
2 heaping tbsp parsley flakes

Mix all ingredients in a bowl to consistency.

This is a good base recipe. Father-in-law adds dill. My sister-in-law and I add 2 habaneros, 2 jalapenos and 2 serranos (use a food processor). Hot, but great on EVERYTHING, especially baked potatoes.

Bangers?

I recall a bit of dialog from the very first episode of "The Jeffersons" in 1975.

GEORGE JEFFERSON: Why are they called bangers?

MR. BENTLEY: Eat one and you'll find out.

C-rats were bearable - but a couple of times, they came out to the bush and cooked us steaks - and a pair of canned beers. I used to trade off stuff with guys for their beers.

Hey, MRE’s were after my time, but I’m sure they are better than C-ration cold turkey loaf! LOL!
