I was in a helicopter company. Scoring ‘C’s was easy, but but getting hold of long range patrol LRP rations was real gourmet cookin’. Freeze dried meals usually loaded with Woostershire or Tabasco. Use the C-4 to cook with but do not repeat do not step on it while its burning.
The C ration cookbook came out later IIRC.

The Tobasco company offered a free booklet on their Tobasco sauce and C rations. I still have mine. I like the C rations. Used to go to the base exchange and buy their cooked hamburgers by the can, then warmed them up on a Sterno stove at the hootch.
Thanks for the memories! LOL
Woostershite sauce and tabasco could do wonders. We had an early type LRP and I still can’t remember what meal it was.
