I liked the chicken and rice but they ditched it too. I now rely on the beef ravioli and cheese tortilini meals.

I just ate a 1995 one yesterday (Dark Brown pk). It tasted just fine and I'm still alive to beat it all. Applesauce was a little "off color" but not too bad so I scarfed that too. YummY! Only problem is I can still taste it when I burp today.

You do know that MRE's are extemely high in calories and are meant to be consumed by people that are using a lot of energy, right?

why are you breaking into the MRE stash? The only times I did that was nights I was to drunk to leave the room but still desired a warm meal and during financial hardships. Of course those MRE's where a mix of free complete MRE's and 99 cent entrees picked up at misc places. After seeing how much MREs cost these days I couldn't image just eating one casually, for the cost I'd rather get some takeout food.

I am basically not fond of canned foods, and MREs are canned foods without the can. Basically, I can tolerate it, but I don't necessarily like it.

Knock MREs all you want, but when I was at Pendleton I would eat MREs out of my wall locker rather than going to the chow hall and eat the crap they served there.

I like MRE's better than Bridgfords (Rost Brick), but I don't *LOVE* MRE's although they can be safer than grubbing out in the DFAC. Of course, you're not there to TASTE your food, you're there to EAT your food.

WTF?
I aint no galloping gourmet, but MRE's are fuckin nasty...I don't eat the damned things unless I have too... The hamburger patty tastes like canned dogshit...  The chicken disaster they serve at the chow hall here is much better than any MRE...  |

Don't put it on a plate! The flavor will escape. These are only meant to be dug out of a foil pouch with a long brown spoon. |

What about old school MRE's?
Dehydrated pork patty with dehydrated ketchup! Man, that was the shit! I would let it soak in water for exactly 1 minute, 30 seconds, and pour off the water. The, the dehydrated ketchup on top. Soft on the outside, crunchy inside, with the grainy ketchup granules on top! Frankfurters with bean component, another classic. I remember when the omlete with ham came out. I ate nothing but omlete with ham as an entree for probably two weeks (plus the coffe, cocoa, crackers, etc). After a few days, my urine smelled exactly, I mean exactly, like omlette with ham. Trouble was, everytime I took a piss, I got hungry!!! I have literally eaten hundreds of MRE's. (and yes, for extended periods of time) I never got sick of them. Only thing I couldn't stomach was when the MRE's got "enemy friendly" I don't want all that touchy feely liberal homosexual eight arm worshipping dirty night shirt wearing bullshit. Vegetarian MRE's. No pork MRE's. They suck. Oh, sorry to get off topic.
