Dehydrated "Catsup", I don't remember that one. However I do remember the dehydrated pork and beef. Looked liked dried dog dung. I could never get past the texture when re hydrated. The franks were nothing more than hotdog sized Vienna sausages. The MRE's during my service must have been the worst since the Revolutionary War.
