Soldiers ate C rations or K rations which were canned meals in the field-
US servicemen in South Vietnam ate: 1. A rations (fresh meals) from large base messhalls. 2. B rations (1 gallon cans) from firebase messhalls. 3. C rations in the field. NVA often carried their livestock in cages into South Vietnam with them; primarily hogs (pigs) and chickens.
I don't know about "in hidding" but I do know what they ate. K rations! K rations where better than nothing meals (since they had to be max-produced) There was breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts. Soldiers got pretty tired of eating those and were glad to be home when the war was over! (By the way not ALL of them were K rations)
Some types of military rations are jungle rations and mountain rations. These two rations are specifically designed to give soldiers enough nutrients to survive in whatever area they are in.

Meals Ready to Eat, or MRE's
Look at the food pyramid's rations for each type of food. Separate your favorite foods into categories on the food pyramid, you can try looking them up online. Then divide the rations and add the individual amounts for each meal to make sure they match up with the food pyramid's rations. Enjoy your meals!
Rations where nicknames for the portable meals the soldiers carried. There were C Rations and K Rations. So when an officer says "Preserve your rations" he means use them sparingly so you don't run out of food.
Generally speaking, unless operational conditions prohibit it, military men and women eat the same three meals a day that every one else eats...breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the field, however, meals are often not hot meals, but pre-packaged cold meals like K-rations, C-rations, or MRE (meals ready to eat).
The US Army fed three types of meals: A rations, B rations, and C rations. C rations came 12 meals to the case. All Olive Drab painted cans. With cigarettes, and chewing gum, and a wooden toothpick to brush your teeth with, plus some toilet paper. B rations were 1 gallon cans of food, designed to feed groups of GI's from field kitchens set up in the field. A rations were generally fresh foods served in mess halls (today called "Dining Facilities").
It was originally just a way to measure food supply in a way to ration it and use science to justify the very low calorie intake of prisoners of war, for example. It was a way for some governments to claim that they were feeding nutritious meals to prisoners. However, in truth their prisoners were receiving too few calories and the rations were starved them to their death. For example, Jews under the rule of Hitler received only 200 calories a day.
The rations at each meal consisted on coffee (in the mornings), and thick soup. Every now and again there is a mention of rough bread, some of which is smuggled in by a relative they found in the camp. This is the chapter which mostly deals with all the negatives in the camp. It is very consistent in tone and form in that Wiesel just keeps going and telling his story with not much introspection, but more fact.
You cannot. Canadian military rations (known as Individual Meal Packs or IMP's) are only for military use and cannot be sold to civilians. You can however order American military rations (known as Meals Ready to Eat or MRE's) online.
They were living off rations, like powdered milk and limited amounts of bread and eggs.
Italian prisoners of ww2,who were sent to England, started making it for themselves because they hated the English rations they were receiving at the labour camps.
