Around the beginning of the TW War they would have peanut butter or honey in a yellow tube, like you find in tooth paste. Gum was found in breakfast meal too along with instant coffee
Something else to remember even rations can go bad. I seem to remember I bunch bad rations found by the Canadian military around the mid 1990's. Common practice was for a lot of combat arms companies and squadrons to keep rations stored in Sea Containers stored within unit lines, this lead to many rations freezing and thawing repeatedly depending on how long they were stored. I think some troops got sick? They them came up new storing procedures and they changed ordering procedures for rations. I was working full time for my reserve unit at the time and we ended up throwing a lot away, we never did reorder new rations as we did have space for them due to the new storing rules and found cheaper to pay for service battalion to cook for us using a flying kitchen or field kitchen when we did field exercises.
Also GM take note, Field rations and regular food do not mix. I remember being on rations for a week exercise, we had cheeseburger and fries for supper as the last supper. Which was great until 20 min later and nature called and I had to run to the blue rocket only to find a very long line, I will end the story here as no person should have heard the noises I made in the blue rocket
