Okay, I don't think I've ever run across C-rats myself.
Always wondered.
I got to eat C-rats once. On the Confidence Course in Basic.
Beef-n-boulders was the staple. The ham sucked BIGTIME. The meatballs looked and tasted like Alpo unless you could heat it up then it wasnt too bad. Hopefully you had someone close by that had different tastes than you and could do some trading to get what you wanted. Sometimes you were just too damn hungry and it didnt matter.
I didnt see them listed but sometimes there were peaches, pears and apricots in cans too. God help you if you had a can of apricots on my tank. Talk about bad luck!
MREs are a quantum leap from c-rats
