When I was in the Army, we called C-rations "canned heartburn". There were a few classics that everyone tried to avoid such as sausage patties, hamburger patties and tuna, noodles and peas. A lot of the stuff we got was left over from the Korean conflict and was past its prime but my guess is that even in their prime they were pretty awful. Some of the stuff made starvation look like a desirable alternative. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
