"C-rations were much better than the bulk of the first MRE's"

Even the dreaded Ham and Lima beans?

[Pox]

Edible and preferable to whatever it was they put in those first MRE's. And I used to eat vending machine creations such as a "Chili Cheese Loaf Hoagie"!

[nopendejos]

Surely the MRE's have nothing to compare with the C-Ration meal of ham and lima beans which we lovingly called ham and m***erf***ers.

Good grief! Ham and MFers . . . that stuff was so bad, even the dog wouldn't eat it.

Some things never change, the chicken was the best C ration too. Or maybe it was turkey . . . my memory's getting a little dim.
