Cute story. The underlying taste of tobasco is nice, like peppers, but it's too hot. It was always on the table so now and then I'd put a drop of it on something.. I'm a WWII baby and I don't remember c rations. We shopped at the commissary which was a junk heap, worse than the first Aldi's lol.

I remember red tokens, my mom canned beef from a farmer. Tires and car stuff was scarce but we had a faithful gas station owner who looked after my mother. We always had the car. I don't know how she handled the winter streets and snow shoveling though. Maybe my uncle or hired kids.

I just don't remember hardship during the war except my father was gone.

In SE Asia, I often ate C rations as the annex was closer than the chow hall. I also bought Tobasco to spice the food. I still have the Tobasco recipe book specifically for C Rats I ordered from them back in 1969.
