I have probably eaten thousands of Army C Rats as we used to call them. The one thing you notice if you have watched this site on modern rations is how much more food you get today than back in my time in the Vietnam Era. We sometimes would only get two a day and sometimes one. Some of the entrees were awful, you could not trade them to anyone. If you got the canned fruit that was one of the best to get. They always tasted much better heated and those beef slices we used to eat on the crackers. That candy bar was called the John Wayne bar as it was so hard only he could eat them. Most of the rations we had were usually ten years old as stock was rotated. I have had the MRE's of today and they are like gourmet food to what we had in this video. But every generation usually has better food than the previous one. Now I see why we were so much thinner than troops of today! Later in life I was opening a can of Alpo for my dog and when I looked in to the can it reminded me of the C Ration beef slices and we always joked in the service it was dog food! Thanks for your videos.
Ate a few. The coffee was candied even in '71, but did the trick for a boost. Beefsteak had that juice & white nitrite paste on it as well. Jam & crackers every bit as composed as yours and also aided in powering down the canned meats whatever they were. Fruit was the big winner... as it would help pass all the other food stuffs in quick time. Toilet paper only kept your business off your hand & never took it off your rump!

My dad used to take these on camping and fishing trips, when I was a kid back in the early to mid seventies, I can say the beefsteak tasted like the beefstick sausage form Hickory Farms, it was my dads fav MCI, my mom would want all the coffee, and my dad wanted the cigarettes, and my sister and I would fight over the peanut butter, if there was any. the C-rations were a treat on family camping trips. thanks for the upload.
the cardboard box is designed to burn slowly using it as a way to heat the beef slices. It never worked that well. The worst "C" Ration meal was Ham and Lima Beans which were dreadful. The best combination was sliced peaches and pound cake. I lived on "C" rations for 10 months. Many letters were written home requesting Tabasco Sauce which masked the poor flavor of some of the "C"'s. This caused Tabasco to be included in today's MRE's.
WHY DO I KEEP ADDICTINGLY WATCHING THESE MRE VIDEOS??? Am I more fascinated about what old-time soldiers used to eat, or is it the rankness of the food and watching/listening him eat it? I REALLY DON'T KNOW...
They are on eBay A LOT, just for the accessory pack with cigarettes you will pay (depending on the year) $65-$80. You can get them with the complete MCI meal for around $90-$120. Right now there are a lot of people trying to rip people off. If you just wait and check every day you will be able to find some you can bid on. Good luck!
What you saw was the natural juices, combined with the decomposed meat juices from the mold, seeping out of the meat now that it was no longer under pressure. The meat itself is still pink, the same pink that you see in sausage and other processed meats due to preservatives, primarily nitrates.
I remember eating a Beefsteak C-Rat back at CamPen, ITR in Feb '74. Don't know how old the can was, but it was still edible. Tasted like summer sausage. Not too bad. Never got another Beefsteak, but decided it was my favorite C. Made a hobo stove out of a perforated crackers/candy can by punching many holes with the John Wayne opener. Lit off the Trioxane fuel heating tab and boiled water for coffee in my butt cup. Don't smoke, so I traded the Marlboros for another chocolate disc. Fun memories from Phase 2 Boot Camp.

These were what we ate in the late 70's in the Army, and when you're out in the field they were delicious, LOL. We would swap back and forth for desirable parts of the meals.
