And I remember when I got reprimanded by a E-6 for not finishing eating my spaghetti and meat balls C rations during a field exercise in Germany 45 years ago.
Could not stand Ham & Lima Beans.
The spaghetti and meat & patatoes were the only two meals I really, really preferred to be heated. The rest I could manage cold.
The very few times I got the spaghetti and meatballs I thought I was in Heaven. Getting those darned eggs with ham or that awful Tuna was what I feared.
Once I got a can of chicken. It was flaked chicken and delicious. I have talked to many people over the years who never heard of the chicken but I know I got one once.
