Having eaten enough C-rats and MREs (Meals Rejected By Ethiopians) I still prefer the C-Rats LOL. Though I have eaten Canadian,Polish and Swiss rations also. I remember seeing a WWII cartoon where some surrendering Japanese soldier tell a US soldier that they are willing to surrender as long as they do not have to eat "That American Delicacy called "Spam" " LOL.
