My dad (RIP) was in the Army in the late '50s and he said the powdered eggs were the grossest thing ever on base. I wonder what he would have thought of MREs? Didn't those used to be called "Meals Rejected by Ethiopians?"
As to the camping, fugeddaboutit! I used to camp when I was involved with SCA and didn't really like it.
I've been finally defrosted by cassiesmom!

There was a surplus store in the neighborhood and I would always go in to buy camping stuff when I needed it.
I came across a can of Date Nut Bread from a package of old C-rations, I picked one up as a joke and brought it home. (The can had a date on it-not an "Eat By" date....A date on when it was made......by the time I saw it? It was a FEW years old....)
After a few days of laughing and joking about it, I put the can opener to it and shared it out.
It was still good, very sweet and greasy. You could have put those out at some of the meeting I used to go to and that would have perked everyone up and kept them going for a few hours!

One spectaular thing about the new stuff is the stories of creativity - making 'gourmet' dishes out of different components - that some people talk about.

I bought a can of pork and beans a while back....
I opened it up and saw a white glob of something fall out of the can...
I wrinkled my nose and grabbed a fork to dig it out.
Much to my surprise?
It was a piece of pork.....
I hadn't seen PORK in P&B's in long, long time.

Where do powdered eggs come from??

But where does chocolate milk come from?
