I guess I must be weird because I actually liked the C Rations...especially the chicken/turkey cans.

My Dad brought home a K ration box he had with him when he was shot in WW2. If you ever tried a K, you'll know that the C was heaven in comparison.

Ham & Limas.

Nobody ever ate them. Couldn't trade them to the locals.

Only use was as targets. When hit by an M-16 bullet they exploded in a very satisfying light green mist.

It helped to be upwind.

My memory is a bit vauge, but we had a ham varation in a B-2 ccan... thought it was Ham and eggs, choped... that was gross. I might have been the Ham and Lima beans.

I was on a flash OP with mountianyards for sucerity... and they wouldn't eat thees C-rats. Allthough, they would eat the rats was shot!

I had the old M-16 with the open three pronged flash suppressior that worked great as a wire cutter to open the C-rat boxes. You would place the mussel on the wire and twist the stock... snappp the wire would break.
