Why the hell is it when you have an MRE the is "spanish" (like Chicken Fajita), they do not come with the little bottle of Tobasco? Who the hell thought up that one?

They give you Tobasco with the Spagetti, but not with the Fajitas or Chili Mac...

Because the entire nature of the MRE is to frustrate the consumer and make him lament not having something edible.

Gotta trade with yer buddy.  Trade him some of the M&Ms or pound cake.  That would be a good trade for someone who wants tobasco.

Those little bottles of Tabasco are cute, but they're way too small to be useful.  I use about 6 times that much on my eggs in the morning.

I always stripped my MRE's down to this:

-spoon
-heater
-drink bag
-crackers (maybe)
-peanut butter

The rest was given away to buddies.  I'd then shove Ramen noodle packets into crevices in my gear along with a couple of cans of soup (with pull tops).  The heaters on MRE's are truly fantastic and they're great for heating up actual food.  The rest of the shit... well... even brand new they taste like they've been sitting on a shelf in Burt Gummer's cellar for 25 years.

I rarely used the heaters; didn't want to bring too much of the taste out.  I could deal with most of the stuff except for the white rice.

What's your address, I'll send you some.  If it's not on the list of banned substances.  Not much help at present time though.

The ones that perplex me is the pork comes with steak sauce and the beef with BBQ, it should be the other way around.

Tabasco sucks, Crystals rules!

Darkstar117, I'm willing to be that a few hundred people here would send you hot sauce

You don't have a bottle of Tabasco and Mrs. Dash in your ruck?

Break up the heater, toss it in your canteen with a lil' bit of water and toss it towards the nearest group of Mexicans.  Fun will ensue!

Refill all your CLP bottles with Tabasco.  Use Tabasco to flavor your food, and clean and lube your rifle.
Problem solved.
You're welcome.

Hey now. I was an Airman, but I ALWAYS had some Tabasco around.
I don't even like it but I stocked up on it for trading purposes.

most times i would take the case and gut all the mre's into the box. then you can just mix and match at chow time.
