    According my Grandfather they looked like that when new. He also said it was dry. My Grandfather said that they would poke holes in the top of the cake and put some water on the top then warm it in a fire or on a vehicles exhaust.
    My Dad would always trade huge containers of coffee for like amounts of tea with the British soldiers because the American mess hall always had tons of coffee but never any tea. It was a win win trade for everyone.
    My Grandfather said that they where still being issues miltary rations from WWII and Korea well into the 1980's until they brought MRE's online. They would sample a lot and if it was still good they would re-stamp the best buy date for another 11 years. From what I understand this was more common with the meat's because they did not go rancid a often as vegetable oil and grain related products. So tuna, potted meat, ham, ham and egg's etc....
    My Grandfather did get botulism(sp) once and it almost killed him and it was related to eating canned rations.

    Having accidentally put expired fried onion things into my soup once, I can say that rancid fat is one of the worst tastes out there. I was on a camping trip, and we tested one and it tasted fine, but when we put just a few into the soup, the fat melted and permeated the whole pot. It was inedible after that, and the taste remained in my mouth even after drinking about a liter of water. And it was only a year out of date!

      Jordan O'C Aerobic bacteria and fungi can't grow very well in a vacuum environment and also prevents evaporation. This is why you get jars with the push to test if fresh button on the lid as if the vacuum is lost then the button on the lid will click.

    I'm actually surprised that these cakes went 'bad' in such a (relatively) short period, considering there have been canned foods found over 100 years after their canning date that have been scientifically determined as still safely edible.
    Back in 2009, a Vietnam War vet took a bite of one of these very same ration pound cakes and was completely fine.
    Also, random history tidbit, apparently Morton House Kitchens was purchased by Lipton in 1966 and closed down in 1982, and the building burned in August 1984.
