Switch to cider.
Let it freeze, throw away the ice so only the unfrozen alcohol remains, drink the concentrate.

Gosh, it's like reading something in code...... what is "ham with MFs"?, and an "esbit"? Sounds quite exciting...

MaryN,
It would not be proper to give a lady the literal translation of the American black urban slang. Let me clarify for those familiar with the classics, that it would refer to Ham and Lima Beans as could have been eaten by the tragic hero Oedipus...

As for the term used in ethnic slang there is an old joke about that.
Big brother comes in the house and Mother announces "Baby Jethro said a half a word today!"
He did? What did he say?
He said Mother!
For persons not used to strong language entering the military can be quite a shock. I would estimate that more than half the verbage tossed about is needless and habitual swearing. Everything is prefixed with MF or F, GD and anything not specifically labeled is a "pile of S" including most of the people in that general area.
I knew one Special Forces Sgt who when asked if he spoke any languages other than English replied that he was fluent in profanity and vulgarity!

Or you can do the deed as we did 40 years back.
Cut off a cube of C4 explosive with your pocket knife. Scrape a shallow trench about two fingers wide in the ground. Place C4 in the trench and light it with one of the matches from your C-rat. Place can or canteen cup over trench and cook.
No stove needed. I guess heat tabs would work too. I did use three pebbles and a heat tab on the ground surface once.
I used to use a tuna can and hand sanitizer a few years back. Have also used PGA and rubbing alcohol.
You just have to use your head but the nice thing about the esbit stove and tabs in the vehicle is there, it is there it is cheap, it appears more civilized.
