    This meal was one of the most sought after in C-rations. It was added to the menu pretty late in the C-ration game, C-rats were not bad but definitely better hot than cold. The downside was humping the meals but eating the food lightened your load. The metal cans could make noise so we packed them in our spare sox. They left a lot of trash that would tell the enemy where we had been if it wasn’t disposed of properly.

    My grandfather was drafted on his wedding day. He was in Nam from 68-69, he told me they were given C-rations which were from ww2.
    I love this video because he said the best meal was the spaghetti. He died of Agent orange related cancer in 2016, followed by his wife to Liver cancer in 2020. My grandad would have loved this video.

    This was genuinely awesome.

That actually looked like a half-decent meal, all things considered. Great job as usual and it's kinda nice that you got to actually ENJOY yourself this time around. Usually you're either igniting your mouth with spicy shit or eating food that a starving hobo wouldn't touch. :)

If you put the sugar into the creamer packet and roast it on a stove, you get what we called 'ranger cookies' which are not bad, but also not that great. Still. And that vacuum sealed pack from Oregon Freeze Dry (97321) was made in my home town when I was a kid and live about 2 miles from that plant. Thanks for the memories Skip!

  • @BlackPawn14
    @BlackPawn14 3 роки тому +30

    Simple, yet effective food science in play here. All water removed + good pasteurizing to kill all pathogens + perfectly-sealed package = not a chance for it to go bad.
    Military rations are packaged with more extreme measures than usual food rations, since they need to stay good for very long periods of time (military stuff is always serious businesses, so you can expect top-quality processing and packaging, especially if the biggest military budget in the planet's paying for it). It's most likely the spaghetti was freeze-dried to remove all water, then the whole thing was pasteurized after packaged, to kill all pathogens, which is why it lasted for as long as the package stays sealed (it won't last forever, because the package itself will eventually wear out, but it definitely lasts more than 50 years).
    And, yeah, the cookie with the white spots was most likely good as well. Chocolate sometimes "blooms" when stored in cold conditions, as the sugar and/or fat gets out of the mix. However, once mixed back up (once you start munching on it, for example), it will taste as good as usual.

Coffee was a more generic style with no branding. And there was more stuff. Crackers, bean component, peanut butter or cheese or jelly, some form of desert, cocoa or beverage powder (Kool aid) and the accessory packet usually had more candy and stuff.
