I remember the 1st Gen.MRE's & B-units which were the latest rations,just before the MRE's,One in particular was-Pork in water,which came in a small can,when it was opened It Stunk like Swine Soup(Pig poop),It was accompanied alway's with Cracklin'Cornbread,which was Hard asa Rock,& Drier than a witches,uh er,It was Real dry.The Idea was to break up the Cornbread & Mix it in with the Pork in water,& You had to make Sure,you didn't spill any of it,upon your BDU's as It would Stink for day's on end.Dehydrated Strawberry ice cream was Currency,Vanilla/Chocolate,not so much,& The oatmeal chocolate bars we used as candles,they burned a long time!We Never ate the Charms candies,they usually burned in the Dung buckets in hopes of making it smell better!LRRP rations were the Best,they only came in 1 flavor-Putrid,but it was easy to gobble down that loaf of ? whatever it was,& It came with Tasters Choice coffee,& Grape/Lime Kool-aid,& Cadbury's shortbread cookies-also Currency!MRE's nowaday's are Primo!
