I've tried both, each on a couple of different occasions, and couldn't swallow more than a bite or two of either. That said, if I was literally starving, I wouldn't be so picky.

A ration cache is an interesting scenario. I doubt that many modern rations would have been produced after the major nuclear exchanges, meaning that very few modern rations would be around by the summer of 2000. Those found then would be about 3 years old, at the freshest. As Rcaff_777 pointed out, spoilage would be an issue, depending on the age of the rations and how/when they were stored/cached.

When I get home tonight, I'll post a link in this thread to our broader discussion of food in T2K.
