This deserves its own thread.

Common staples on my mission were white sticky rice and canned meats.

The most common meats were canned mackerel (cheap), corned beef, and Treat.

Spam was too expensive to eat very often. Normeat was down pretty far on the list. Used exclusively for spaghetti.

My mission comp put it this way: "You know how Spam is imitation meat? Normeat is imitation Spam."

Canned corned beef, cooked with chopped onions, served with rice and soy sauce.

Treat, cubed, browned with a can of corn. Served over rice with sweet and sour sauce, or just soy sauce. This was a very popular one.
