Lrrp rations (long range reconnaissance patrol) were pretty good when we could get them. This was in Vietnam 1969.

The best way to heat C-rats, at least when you didn't need to hide your location, was to puncture the cans, put them back in the box and set them on fire. I learned to do this from some prior service guys at Infantry Officer Basic Course in '80. It always worked like a charm.
