Jeffl;
I am not a hard person to please. As the war wore on we started getting more varieties.. Chef Boyarde made sphagetti and meat balls. (GOOD) Beans WITH hot dogs (GOOD). There were many more that I forgot. My favorite was the K ration with a block of cheddar cheese and crackers. OH YES.( CORNED BEEF HASH) I loved it.
In the march of the plains of Cologne, it was discovered that the German civilians stored food in cellars. Loaves of pumpernickle were piled up like cord wood. Fruit was preserved in jars,and fresh eggs were plentiful. To pillage was scorned apon by the upper eschelons. We considered it as the spoils of war. OH I ALMOST FOROT.
Then there was the excellent German wine
During the lull in fighting. A kitchen was set up and we were giving HOT meals.
