I always loved opening the cans of water in lifeboat survival kits from the 50's when I inventoried them to see what the heck water that was 40 years old smeled like.

Oh man, I *loved* pork and beef patty MREs, and would trade for them. Soak it up in water for a long time, then wrap it in foil and leave it on your deuce and a half engine block for about 30 miles, put on bread and add mustard and squeezy cheese. Mmm!

Our tax dollars at work- The search for the best Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

I wish the researchers good luck, but I'm not volunteering as a taste tester.

You were lucky.
A decade previous to your experience I was in the CCF (like a UK version of a Junior ROTC maybe) and we were fed, when out on exercise, on Korean War surplus bully beef. Exaclty as wonderful as it sounds.

(OK, cue the Monty Python sketch for the next guy to complain I had it easy).

Never had them in the Army, but we ate our share in the Boy Scouts. God, some of those were awful. But they're really not too bad anymore. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that they're great, but they're stomachable. It's really pretty impressive how far they've come in 20 years, and even more so how long they'll keep.
