No,  not that scummy crud you get in your email box... but canned meat. 
That they were even trying to eat it, at that point, means that obviously they had been out there for some time & were still expected to cover their assigned area.
Of course, that's just a basic stab in the dark guess.. but, am fairly confident on that being what it was... just their own version of that meaty treat.

lol was looking pretty rough. Suppose they did not get the best food like Us subs? Although read US subs would resort to some uh meager rations once they ran out of the good stuff on longer patrols. They did take hundreds of pounds of filet mignon to sea often though lol.
