Going off thread a bit, your link woke dormant memories, not that I ever ate C rations but the comments in the article could just have easily referred to British rations of the 70s and 80s. Just to prove how sad I am, I still have around 6 or so of the P38 can openers. Wouldn't use anything else to open a can.

the P38 can openers

I have one on the workbench right now. Ours was much bigger and our guys took the P38 when available for their dogtag chain. Yes, we had some stuff that was barely edible...ham and egg...something in mushroom gravy...creme of chalk soup... A couple.

What, have we drifted?
