Have you heard of T Rats?. One time to my suprise we had meals with the Yanks. They were called T Rats, and we were deep in the desert.

They were a tray, one use disposable with a place for potatoes, veggies and meat. All heated up, and then you peeled the top off. Once you were done eating, just chucked in the bin. They had that preserved taste, but when you are hungry, it all tastes fine.

Regards,

Wes
