Kim towel (think industrial paper towel) and butter sandwich, thank you CFB Esquimalt.
A few months later some dumb a** kitchen flunky was at a house party and made the mistake of bragging about screwing us over. Dumb, dumb and dumb.
Best was Trenton. Couple fried chicken legs, potato salad, fresh cut fruit salad...........

OMG! Somebody else remembers the RP-4!
Yes I remember them, and I remember those crackers. We wound up with this butter in an olive green tube that I was told was Australian. Between that and all the jam and penie-bunner packs that were in the "extras" bag, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. The whole thing came in two boxes IIRC, and contained brekkie, lunch and supper. An RP-4 introduced me to my first canned bacon, (that magical ambrosia already mentioned earlier in this thread).
All of the canned stuff was brand-name: none of this generic crap I remember being saddled with when I wound up for a short time having to survive on the infamous US "C" Ration. I'm still fairly sure the (corned beef hash?) was dog food in an OD tin. but I have to admit, I always like the US can opener (they call it the "John Wayne") better than ours. It was sharper, and had a longer handle...better leverage y'know.
