Those are some bad dishes, but IMHO, nothing has ever come close to Luncheon Meat. Savory grizzle, tasty tripe and snout too. Ummm, Um! Makes my stomach quiver with nervousness just thinking about it.
Honarable mention, McD's McGriddle. Nothing like puking first thing in the morning. Closest simulator to Morning Sickness.

Hello.
Where am I?
Thinking OMG! Grease!
I was not able to make it to Sinaloa due to internal troubles within Mexico.
The USA is the place to be right now, Canada is too cold! ;)
But for me it is Tacos for the main fare, true, but little bits of meat with a lot of veggies.
There is a lot of Beans and Rice in my diet along with fruit cups and other assorted fresh fruits.
My diet is actually quite healthy.
Snouts....oooooooooooh...Originally Posted by N2NH
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Diarrhea? You want diarrhea? Try C-Ration Ham and Limas and sliced Spam fried on a mountain stove.
Oh shit! Why does that sound almost too yummy to avoid though?!

C-rations =shitz?
MRE= no shitz for days.
Why is it that the worst stuff is always the stuff that tastes good ??
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
It's a lie, John. It our parents get conned into feeding us that stuff at an early age, we will eat it for life if we don't learn better. If as adults we get conned into eating it, the negative factors are not noticeable right away.
What is the actual chemical present that causes children to go into fits if they don't get it? That, is a closely guarded secret. It's more than salt, fat and sugar.
Fortunately, I never had the pleasure of MREs. Only real problem with C Ration was the weight, since everything was in a steel can, and disposing of the empty containers. Properly, the "C Ration" was actually called an "MCI ration" -- Military Combat Individual -- and they were packed in tagboard cartons, six or twelve to a waxed cardboard carton. The waxed box weighed about twenty-five pounds or so. Each small carton was a day's food for one man, and it contained (in my day) a half-pack of cigarettes and a Chunky bar -- the usual raisins, nuts and chocolate -- that was labeled as an "energy bar." Instead of being wrapped in silver foil, it was wrapped in OD foil. Also a small roll of toilet paper, which was a tradable and hordeable commodity -- even more so than the cigarettes.
When I first took my detachment into the field in 1965, I had C Ration cartons dated 1959. We ate them in the field (or threw some stuff away). I turned in the empty cartons to supply and was reamed out for eating the rations, but I was issued another set of cartons dated in 1961. By the time I turned over the office to a new SAIC in 1967, the rations in the office's trailers were dated 1966. Some small victories are worth remembering. ;)
In military parlance of those long-gone days, A Rations were hot meals served by a mess; B Rations were foodstuffs suppled ready to be cooked. C Rations were normal field combat rations supplied in platoon or squad quantity. K Rations were survival rations, light and easy to carry on an individual but not very "satisfying."
