In the Canadian Army a haybox is quite different and does not heat. It is an insulated tall green container, with handles and inserts for up to three heated foods, from a field kitchen. These typically arrive lukewarm or at least not frozen. In 1983 on an exercise in the USA we were supplied with the same containers which, I think, are American in origin and pre-date Vietnam. I recall an American major delivering the platoons breakfast in hayboxes (which we also called 'haybaskets') in a jeep with a trailer. The American field rations were nutritional but sometimes ghastly. Out of a haybox came cold toast, lukewarm coffee, and 'SOS' meaning 'shit-on-shingle' or grey creamed leftover beef. There were also bottles of Durkee's (now Frank's) Louiseiana hot sauce which helped get it down. We had never seen this so I pirated some bottles to take back to Canada. 74.127.203.234 (talk) 22:25, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
