Cooked, canned sausage patties![url=http://www.thesmilies.com:2dc92][/url:2dc92] No wonder you guys fought like you were mad. Burning 7,000+ calories a day, all you have to look forward to is your meal and someone gives you WWII sausage patties. That would make me mad too.

There is one thing that came with the C rations that you do not get with an M.R.E. It is one of the very best, most versatile tools ever invented. The P-38 can opener and its larger version the P-51 can opener.
