Hey Moose: Hate to tell you, but, spam was not our usual meal. It was C ration, K ration, and D bars. Spam was

a treat to us as it came with a hot meal and hot, real, coffee, bread and a veg once in a while. Not too often but once in a while. To the combat soldier, spam was not on the menue much.. Same as hot, real coffee and bread

and real food.
