I too was a great fan of the old Ham Omlette. And I too was the subject of disbelief when stating that at meal times. I think the young-uns had it removed because it was visually unappealing. I thought so too but at least the old "Lung in a Bag" was certainly the best tasting of the Breakfast menus. That and the old corned beef hash. Both were also good next-to-skin pouches for supplementary heating methods!!

Quite so, Darrell, and it's good to know there's at least one other fossil among us! "...lemme tell ya 'bout the stuff we USED to eat..."

The hash was good, although spending any amount of time inside a Grizzly after eating a couple was, er, an interesting olfactory experience...

Cold spaghetti was also a bit of adventure.

One thing they never did get right was that abomination they called coffee. Disgusting! There was NOTHING you could do to make that palatable. Order of the day, your OWN coffee or tea in your ruck!
