FWIW- my experience with MREs ended on July 4, 1994. I did not get much exposure to the new and improved MREs so I may be way off. The chicken a la king was consistently bad, but edible if doused with sufficient Tabasco. The meatball entree was horrid, having the consistency of dried turds in ketchup. The prok patty and beef patty were tolerable. The pork was better. Expect mild constipation after eating all MREs, but especially the pork. The ommelette was apparently some twisted freak's idea of a diablolical psych experiment. Freshly stoned pot heads who had been starving for days wouldnm't touch the ommelette. The hot dogs were just big Vienna sausages. They were tolerable but greasy. Remember, C rats are meant to fuel your body, not provide true nourishment. They supply mostly calories and salt which are things a soldier in cold/combat needs most. The chicken and noodles and tuna and noodles were both tolerable, again, liberally drenched in Tabasco. Soak everything but the fruitcake and the toilet paper in Tabasco as a rule with C rats. I am sure I am, thankfully, failing to remember some of the entrees. Anybody else?
