...C-rats are not considered edible..."
I NEVER considered C's edible
The black stuff only oozed from the "Ham and Mother F^(K&rS"... I mean Lima Beans. Dad had those things from the 60's and 70's and we were eating them and Dinty Moore on hunting trips in the 80's. I always thought the big thumb print was a good sign over "C". Love me some Dinty Moore.
Bonus was you could cook on the intake manifold of the truck. MRE's ya' got to be careful doing that.
