One word: Spam.

Indefinite shelf life.

Spam did feed the Soviet army during the last half of WW2.

Way ahead of you on the SPAM front.

I saw a show about the battle of Kursk, and a T-34 crew that survived the battle were talking about the rations they got per day. Something like 500 grams of bread per person, a bottle of vodka per tank, some butter or cheese, canned vegetables or meat. Then one of the guys said "when we were lucky, we got a can of American supplied Spam. Those were the good days." You could see the little tear in his eye that memory brought out.
