23 year old smoked salmon in an MRE-like bag. Tasted great and barely got bubble guts. Would do it again.

About like chewing whang leather.
I remember the smokes, 5 to a pack, better rolling up dried yuca plant leaves in toilet paper.In 1987 I went on a field exercise. We had some c-rats issued to us that were from the late 50s/early 60s. We ate them because it is what we had and we were hungry. I remember some had some really nasty cigarettes in them. Probably the worst tobacco I have ever tasted.
No longer. Mountain House updated their foil pack procedures and now claim a 30 year life for both foil packs and 10 ounce tins. Having eaten 14 year old 7 year old rated foil packs and gagged at the bubblegum, I'm as pleased as anyone.

I'm inspired.
Several jars of meat, origin unknown, down in the basement. Probably 30+ years old. Next time I actually have 3 days off in a row it's chow time.
The glass jars have always scared me tho, so I haven't tried..

I've eaten 20yr or older C rations plenty of times and enjoyed it.
John Wayne bars are delicious.Nobody ENJOYS C-rats.
I've found Steve's videos interesting, though I don't know how he's still among the living considering some of the crap he's eaten. Including this:
John Wayne bars are delicious.
Beans and balls are better than anything chef boy r d ever made.
And the crackers and cheese spread?
I can still taste them.
Seriously, I was eating C rations when I was in elementary school. So I guess I never had a chance. Memories ♡
