While I recognize the superiority of modern MRE's, I do have a soft spot for slightly older-style "cook it from tin cans" B-rations.
You are given a messkit. You are given a bunch of cans and some fresh produce like onions, potatoes or maybe some dry goods like pasta. And then you just mix and match it at the campfire.
Now, I know this is less-than-ideal especially in military setting where you might have to move on a short notice. But in more civvie/camping setting this is super satisfying and teaches you how to cook in-the-field setting. Or just have like a platoon/company-level field kitchen and have a big soup for eveyone.
Yes, this is food tech from the bygone era, and really not good especially on modern drone-will-kill-you-if-you-clump-together setting. But on a boyscout-style field camp, it's a perfectly valid, cheap and nutritions way to feed a bunch of people on the go.
