The best way to make C rations edible was to heat the can before you opened it. Best done by putting the can in boiling water awhile before you planned to eat. Cold they really sucked.

I had a Vietnam-era MSG who was our instructor. He would take a can and dent it in on a rock. Then he put it in the fire and knew it was done when the dent popped out. I never saw one can explode.

Recipe: Empty C-Rat main into pot and add an anvil. Boil two days, throw out the C-Rat and eat the anvil.

I only had the pleasure (?) of consuming (can not say eaten) C-Rats. In '61 we were supposed to head to Australia , but were caught In the headlights by an Op Immediate. Turned and toward the Gulf at flank speed. Since we were not resupplied we had dead rats (C-Rats) for 11 days while at GQ, and my station was after steering. Nosiest area on a tin can, and no head in the area.

You ever eat mess on a 1970 aircraft carrier that had been at sea for a month? You prayed for General Quarters so you could eat C-Rats that were made in WWII.
