22. We got really old, near expiration date, MRE's

During the floods to feed displaced people. We decided to see if culturally people would eat them. In the end, fire, police, EMS, shelter workers were issued these. The higher in the food chain the least palatable. Yes, we asked the marines who brought them about that. I remember the peanut butter since it was so old it required kneading to remix it.

Ham and Lima beans..I agree with you. They were, well.. Just that memory and god...I lost my appetite.

We used locally gathered canned food, cooking it even, for shelter residents. Yup, plenty of griping on the responder side. But, I learned that lesson with the Mexico City quake, no matter how hungry people are they at times will not touch very unfamiliar food. (That was pickled herring, it ended up in delis with proceeds going to beans and tortillas)

Been told that British MilRats make ours seem gourmet. I can't imagine. Not after ham and beans or the PB and J, or the...well you know. I will give them this, kept us full and going. That I will give them.
