Oh, I don't doubt that. Waste not, want not, as they say. But the term "Salty tractor grease" is still a very accurate description.

And the above video about that Russian field ration.....whatever anyone says about it, it is apparently miles above what the Soviets actually had for prepacked field rations during the Cold War era, particularly in Afghanistan. Not to mention quite a few nasty cases of botulism.

Hmmm...after some food for thought, perhaps we can get a bit more creative here. Marmite/Vegemite after all, is just more of a spread/additive, so perhaps we can go with something a bit more meaty, more fishy, higher in protein? Because you always need some good protein.

How about....a VERY large cache of....SURSTROMMING!
