The M&V (Meat & Vegetable) canned food was the most popular "24-ounce vegetable stew" among Allied soldiers in World War I, and the soldiers thought that this can tasted much better when heated than the vegetable soup cooked by the cooking class, and it was extremely convenient to cook on the front line - just open the can and heat it directly on the alcohol stove to enjoy the hot broth.

Most people don't understand the rationing of salt in Western soldiers, and to understand this, we have to start with the seasoning of Western dishes. (As for the normal daily intake of table salt, the United Nations Health Organization recommends 6-8 grams per day for the average person, while heavy labor such as construction workers and front-line soldiers need about 10-15 grams per day.) However, this is the healthiest standard, and in wartime, it is generally rationed above the standard, so that soldiers can season it according to their taste)

Generally speaking, in Western dishes, especially soups and soups, salt and other seasonings are relatively rare, and salt, pepper and other seasonings should be put in according to their respective tastes...... If you pay attention to Western food, you will find that there are salt shakers on the table. The soldiers' salt ration is used to season the soup and is not eaten with bread (except for the Russians, where they traditionally eat bread dipped in salt, while the British do not have this custom), and most of the vegetables in the soldiers' daily ration are used to boil into soup and then distribute it to the soldiers.

In addition, the fat rations in the Western soldiers' meals (such as butter, butter, pickled pork, etc.) were used not only to spread bread on the soldiers, but also to fry sausages or bacon. You know, a hot, butter-fried sausage tastes the same as the original sausage full of frozen fat.
