Isn't that south-of-the-border sop called "El Swillio?"

I have always considered the X's on the label to be a warning.

Yes.

Believe it or not, I have a package of pre-Korean War Camel cigarettes
and several packages of green package WWII Lucky Strikes that - get
this - in Vietnam. :)

There is a reason why they call them C RATS.

And it has nothing to do with the C RATS being shorthand for Canned
Rations.

As far as the MRE's go, the Mac and Cheese is really good and believe
it or not, the Vegetarian MRE is excellent.

The Beef Stew ain't too bad either.

I had some what I believed to be WWII C-rats. This was probably '62.
All I remember a little piece of chocolate and hard-tack like cracker
which were barely edible. Didn't even try anything else in the
package.

Use the site you posted as a starting point.
I made a Colby cheese once, from a kit.
Took about 2 gallons of milk to make a pound.
It was actually pretty good, but a bit rubbery.

I made a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch the other day. You know, if
you don't get the bacteria in the cheese just right, and use the right
amount of yeast in the bread, well, who knows what ratings you might
from other sandwich eaters.- Hide quoted text -

tom, if you cold get your hands on a carton or pack of WWII vintage
Old Gold's you could move to eastern europe flat broke and be uber-
rich. Well, at least you could have before theSoviet Bloc fell
apart. Right after WWII Old Gold sigs,were handled on the balck
market better than currency. you did'nt dare open a pack. If you
wanted to get to the head of the soup line or get an extra loaf of
stale bread and less watered down potato soup, all you had to do was
have a beat up, yet unopened pack of OG's, hand it to the Kommissar in
charge, and you went to the head of the line. No Kidding!

There is a reason why they call them C RATS.

And it has nothing to do with the C RATS being shorthand for Canned
Rations.

MRE's? What are those? C RAT's What are those? Never saw any in the
Fighting Air Force.

Of course not. You always made it home for the dinner bell, didn't you.
