"C-rat" gourmets

[mrbsox]

Got an idea....

yhea, well, maybe it's a good one, we'll see.

What was your BEST Gourmet meal, made from "C's"?

Here's the rules....

Must be in recipe format, so we can share !

Must be made from genuine standard issue "C" rats. NO Ks, As, Bs, lerps, MREs, or the like. Genuine, kicked off the back of a truck into a mud puddle, opened with a "John (rest in peace) Wayne" "C-rats".

NO outside ingredients except genuine standard issue hot sauce, A1, or what you could pilfer from the Gedunk. NO water buffalo on a stick, rat on a spit, or barbque'd bamboo root stew. Nothing from the locals.

We'll let the "Wonder Ladies of Leatherneck.com" do the Judging, if they know what a C-rat is.

Want to know whats in it (#3beans and balls etc...), how you made it (fried over open heat tab), and how it turned out.

If I start seeing some stuff pop up here, I'll guess it was a good idea. If not, I'll go hide for awhile.


See ya.... slaving over a hot "STEEL POT"

P.S. Can they cook in Kevlar ????

I've cooked in the same"pot", washed in the same "pot". and shaved in the same "pot", then wore the same'pot'. Kinda scary ain't it! LMAO

My favorite was the 'anything with meat' stew. Yer fire team took the rats with meat, and we combined them into one pot, added hot sauce (usually everyone had a bottle). As you well know, most of the meat rats were thoroughly disgusting to begin with.
Hotsauce will cure most anything - including hangovers in proper doses LMAO

One thing I forgot to mention...... As a young PFC, I remember my squad SGT taking me aside and kinda giving me the verbal scuttlebutt on what was expected blah, blah, blah. I remember vividly him describing what I would more than likely be assigned to do, when we got to humping. Radioman.. Oh, joy-of-joys.
When we got to field sanitation, he says ....... ' now remember, theres not going to be a latrine conviently located out in the field at Pendleton you understand'....... 'so, I expect you to take care of your personal duty in a military manner. My Marines donot dig 'cat holes' - they dig trenches'......... (for obvious reasons involving C-rats) LMFAO
Another vote for hotsauce!

Ham and eggs chopped, straight up with a paddy water chaser w/halizone or iodine tabs. called "grunt supreme"

I don't think there is much that can be done to improve the taste of C-rations. and Like most tastefull Marines I think....Ham and muthas R the pits

Pound Cake with Chocolate frosting


1) Can of Pound Cake
2) 1 pack or cocoa
3) 1 pack powdered creamer

Using your P-38 John Wayne, place two small holes in the top of the pound cake can and add (1) canteen capfull of water.

Mix the cocoa and creamer together with enough water to make a paste.

Heat the Pound Cake until steam comes from the holes in the can.

Remove the Pound Cake, Cut in half and put the cocoa paste on both halves.

Insert match, incendiary end up, light, and sing “happy birthday you poor, green, sorry son of a "B"

Serves two if you’re in a good mood.

Looked like frosted cake, tasted like Pound Cake & cocoa paste.

***This frosting could also be used on the crackers, but nothing can really help those dry cardboard crackers.

To make extra good frosting, use two packages of cocoa.

Note: though you may be tempted, do not use the chocolate tabs in this frosting, in fact, don’t eat the chocolate tabs unless constipated, they’re nothing but a chocolate flavored laxative.

P.S. I did love the "C's"

[mrbsox]

.. for our guys (and gals) in the field.

0311 is right... the Ham and Eggs, chopped, 1 each were the best- hot or cold :lick:

kinda liked the Chocolate nut roll... dry but filling, had flavor. And they were usually plentiful, cause nobody else wanted 'em.

Were made right here in Nashville, so they brought me home to.

Pizza

#2 Beans & wennies (aka beans & d**ks)
crackers
Cheese of choice

Crush crackers into a powder, mix with H2O into paste, make flat dough (kinda like a tortilla). Fry on 'skillit' over heat tab till firm.

Seperate sauce from Beany weinnie's, slice wenny into pepperoni 'wanna-b's'.

Spread sauce, cheese, and wennies onto fcukd up crackers. Throw whole mess away and eat Chocolate nut roll. Go to bed hungry.

Mmmm-mmmm yuck
