well, I think it was C-rations. huge casserole size cans that fed several soldiers. I remember being amazed how bad you can frick up scrambled eggs.
Weren’t those called T-rations?
Yes. C-Rations were the first "Happy Meal", Army style.

frick you. Fight me IRL. The jalapeño cheese in an MRE is the best damn thing on the planet.

C-rats and MREs are individual meals. T-rats are organizational, to serve units, heated up with steam in a field kitchen environment:

No chicken-a-la-king? No dehydrated pork patty? No beans and franks?

This was the best ring they put in MREs…

My first introduction to MRE’s was at a tent at MSY after Katrina. I was impressed being that airport Lucky Dogs weren’t available.

I did 32 years and hated MREs from the beginning in 1986. I did everything possible to not eat them and was mostly successful. I was on a field exercise when Obama won his first election, I remember being issued a "breakfast omelet" MRE. My last words were, "how can they f up a breakfast omelet?" 2 hours later I was pucking. I never tempted fate again

Pork w/Rice in BBQ Sauce Is the correct answer for the best from the 90s. Spaghetti with meat sauce and Chicken Ala King we’re tops also.

Jesus. Even $5 per seems high to me. I figured those things were made to be like $10 for a whole box of them or something. $5-$10 per is almost like a whole fast food meal.
$5 is reasonable for the warfighter MREs. The real deal. 1500 calories per MRE, so 2 a day will keep you going through exertion. $10 a day for all the nutrition you need plus some matches and toilet paper in a portable and shelf-stable form with a heater ain't too bad. The government pays less, but by the time I get it in the gray market, there's everyone's risk and profit tacked on to the cost.
These are NOT the bullshite FEMA or private manufacturer MREs that get you like 5-600 calories per MRE.

The freeze dried pork patty, covered in rehydrated ketchup powder was fine dining. JFC I hated that one and the chickenalaking.

When I first joined this was my "go to" meal...

Guess if you’re hungry enough, you will eat them

I’ll make you a ranger pudding and give you my #8 hamburger for your #22 tortellini and pound cake

Unless there is a “Louisiana” in China, my money is on you being correct.

I just ate Vienna sausages and beanie weenies. Probably not an improvement

Last time I had an MRE was Katrina. They gave us some of the authentic MRE made for the military. I had a few left after the crisis passed and decided to eat them. Come to find out they were like 4000 calories apiece!
