Argh, spam fritters are horrible. Honestly, there are few things I hate in this world as much as spam!

Back to the point though, I rather like the Soviet eating system, a small bucket and a spoon that you had to bring from home. Some soldiers even had German mess kits (which were copied and manufactured in the USSR as well.

As for food, maybe as a followup to Mr Goldsteins story, my grandfather told me that at one point in Italy a friend of his used ration tins to make the walls of a shelter for someone to cook in. Eventually the yanks turned up and pinched all the ration boxes leaving a thankyou note and their c-rations in exchange.
