Man... once you realize that all MREs taste the same because they all use the same chemical preservative, you don't want to eat the entrée. At all.

Nope.   Nein.   Nada.

I'd only eat another MRE if I was starving and dying and had no other choice.

Nuthin like the original hockey puck in the early MRE... was tasty.

Do they use the same chems?


I thought it was food cooked in the sealed pouch (retort pouch tech) in order to kill the bacteria.

The entrees aren't the problem. The wheat snack bread is the problem.

Some suck and some are really good. For the civi ones Ive never had a bad meal from APack. The common Star MREs do suck.

Enlighten me: what "chemical preservative(s)"?

After eating gen 1 MREs I can stomach anything. There's a lot of derp in the OP.

As an old guy who ate his share of "Cs" in the 60's, MREs are great.  You Nancy Boys who are complaining about MREs obviously have never eaten "Cs".

There were several like the OP that would bitch and bitch about MRE's and how they would rather go hungry... But then there were people like me that would just pick their favorite and chow down and wonder wtf your problem was... they aren't that bad. At least not to me and my taste buds. Nor did I have digestion issues. Drinking water and having some good fiber intake will do wonders.


ETA: Anyone ever do the MRE cracker challenge? Tried.. got close but couldn't get the last half of that 2nd cracker down before time ran out.

A standard MRE is like a Christmas stocking with goodies inside ..... that you get to eat.

Apacks add-ons get mighty repetitive in a case. You'd damn well better love brown sugar and cinnamon pop tarts if you buy a case!

I did.  And I won.

The secret: you have to crumble up the cracker inside the package before you open it.

Current MRE's are generally at least as good as any canned food you'd buy in the grocery store.

I wouldn't want to have to live off them, limited variety and all, but you could do a hell of a lot worse.

Edited...


I came close about 1/4 of the 2nd cracker and I was just done, I mean fucking done, my mouth couldn't have been more dry if you poured... I don't know, straight flour in my mouth. 1 guy in my last unit did it, didn't crumble the cracker or anything, from what I could tell he just took lots of little bites.

Besides being a little on the dry side, I don't understand the hate. I think they have a pretty good flavor.
