Fadac - C rations - eccchhhh! I particularly hated the ham - several ounces of salt dissolved in something chewy that might have been meat. I used to search out items that weren't supposed to have much meat in them. Loved beans and weenies. Now there are Meals, Ready to Eat(MREs). They come conveniently packaged in a bag in which you can later deposit the results of the meal. The ham hasn't changed, other than it isn't can-shaped. Before they gave up making them, people used to fight to not end up with the omelets-in-a-bag and dehydrated-pork-patties-in a-bag. The meals do have an added plus of causing constipation. (Not necessarily a bad thing when your options are port-o-poopers or a hole in the ground.)

Catspaw, I'll bite. Wotsa "WHOMP bisuit?
