We used to hit K-Mart and get a couple of cans of this before heading out on camping trips way back in the dinosaur days. 

Even with my effed up stomach right now I am psyched! :-)

That's interesting food to be sure!

So how do you prepare it?

It's already cooked and drained.
Just heat it up if you want, or eat it right out of the can.

My colon just flinched.

My stomach is fully operational right now and I wouldn't go near that stuff.

But then again, my idea of camping is staying at a Motel 6 and getting Chinese take-out.  :-)

When it arrives I will crack a can open and post the results!

I suspect it is like the precooked bacon strips that you get at the grocery store and needs a little "Crisping" in the pan.

Dixie, your P38 appears to have a crack on it!! I've had one on my key ring for a couple or three decades.

Let's see....... 9 oz/ can times 12 cans = 108 OUNCES/16= 6.75 Lbs.

109.95 + 12.12 for shipping = 122.07. 122.07 divided by 6.75 lbs= 18.085 per pound!!! That's some SPENDY bacon!!!!!

Hey, don't knock the new ones.  I bought a couple of cases for emergencies and just for shits and giggles tried one a month or so ago.  Not bad, actually.  Just make sure you get the post-1995 ones, of course.

Dayum.  You can get a case of MRE's for way less than that.

Look at it the other way...

Between 2-3/4 and 3-1/4 pounds of raw bacon go into each can. This gets you between 35-40 cooked and drained slices of bacon.  Before shipping that comes to a little over 9$ per can.

Raw bacon... 5-6$ for a 2 pound uncooked package that will yield 22-25 slices.  Or 3-4$ for less than a pound that will yield you 11-14 slices.

Plus the canned stuff has a decade long shelf life. (You can add 4-5 years to that if kept at a cooler holding temp such as we have in our basement store room.)

Keep in mind this is for camping and for long term storage for emergencies.  And when you have a Bacon Emergency you need help STAT! ;)

80$ right now for current issue military MRE's plus 35$ shipping.

A-Pack civilian MRE meals run 60-65$ case with the 30-35$ shipping and have less durable packaging and shorter shelf lives.
