When you are hungry

Been there Buddy...

when you are heavily physically fatigued there are things you simply won't eat.

And other things you're dying for.

When you are hungry, you will eat items you would never have considered before.

And when you get a real meal you think you’ve died and gone to heaven.

For me it was a churrasco steak with rice and beans. I remember it well. Sold my blood to get the money to pay for it.

Me, and I'm sure, many others as well.

I remember thinking it a treat warming up 1944 dated C-Rats on the manifolds of my boat in 1969. And being 25 years old they tasted pretty darn good. Must have had great preservatives back then. I didn't smoke and traded the little five pack of cigarettes for the Chiclets. Eventually they ran out and is was catch as catch can. I hated those long insertions.

warming up 1944 dated C-Rats

I had forgotten some of that. We were out on Coronado-cross-the-bay, on the beach strip you and others here must know well. We were doing IBS surf indoc with the USMC and when lunch arrived, it was C's from 1945. All well marked and perfect condition... Well, it WAS 1974 so they were pretty new still. I remember the smokes the next January up in Ft Wainwright when Bear and I were doing a Jack Frost ex or whatever we called it then. The good smokes went fast and the Benson and Hedges 100's were everywhere...menthols...yuk.
