Maybe roasting it over a fire is not the right way to cook it, but it tasted pretty bad. We went back to our C Rats.

TR,
That wouldn't have happened around Mar 84 would it? I was a land nav student then and one of the other students was charged by a beaver on top of a hill. He back peddled and tripped over a log. As the beaver ran up between his legs he mananged to bring up his dummy corded M16A1 and buttstoked it to death. At least that was his story. I remember the instructors skinning it out and we roasted over a pit. Agreed it wasn't the best tasting but was a break from our C rats. Little did we know we only had one more week of C's that class and then it was MRE's for the next 24 years!
