Hi there,
Jeff Wedding at Desert Research Institute (not sure if he is still at DRI) might be someone who could help with some of your questions. I've seen him present papers on military ration cans dating between WWII and the Cold War Era from sites located in Nevada, California, & Arizona. He might know something additional to diet/meals doing his research on the ration cans.

Hope this helps!
Ashley

Subject: WWII Cookhouses

We are analyzing a US World War II military-associated cookhouse/mess hall dense can dump (with some ceramics, condiment and soda bottles and enamelware).  Has anyone found archival data detailing typical meals prepared for troops in the US during WWII?  I have found details on what was served overseas and in the war zone but would appreciate comparative data on typical diet, meals, or archival sources from US bases, especially in the west.
