I would cook some of the fat out of the bacon first and use very lean
bacon to start with.

You do realize that I'm not being serious right/ *:)

No.

Why the disclaimer?

Are you trying to pretend you *don't* eat that kind of stuff?

I like bacon - with eggs. *

Or in a BLT.

Cinnamon buns? *No way.

Not a fan of C-Rat stew?

those things are proof that you can eat anything if you're starving.

Espiecally the "mystery meat" and/or "horse cock" sausage.

Honest to pete true story. *Holed up outside of Hue in a back staging
area. The USAF dropped in some C-rats among other things.

I got one, I'm not kidding, from WWII that still had the green Lucky
Strike cigarrettes and the blue foil Hershey bar. *I checked around
the platoon and sure enough - almost all the stuff they dropped was
WWII although some "lucky" guys got Korean War era stuff.


Tom I wouldn't have been surprised at all. In 1980 my .45 was loaded
with ammo from 1952. three years older than I.

But did you think that at that time, the food you were eating was
probably older then you were?

Being a "collector" by nature, I bartered, traded and what not for the
cigarrettes and the Hershey bars. *I still have them - collectors
items.

I have to admit though, the fruit salad wasn't half bad. *

By comparision, the MREs they issue now - man, some of those are
really really good. *I like the vegetarian meal and the beef stew -
the chicken and rice is half way decent. *Odd as it sounds, the Kosher
meal is really good - heads and tails above the others.


i wonder what the actual recommended life span is on MRE? I've got a
couple cases of them I've had since 1998
