And, man, are these things bad.

The heating packs didn't work.
All the choices were some variation of Meat with Beans.
The food tasted like the most processed meal you've ever had. It was a weird mix of overly salty, yet flavorless.
The cracker with sesame seed butter wasn't bad though.

I suspect these aren't the same MREs our soldiers are getting, because the bags say something like "Humanitarian Rations."

At least the Katrina MREs had really good chili mac, and a bottle of Tabasco.

Working in St. Charles, and there isn't shite open around here. I brought some stuff from home, but figured I'd be adventurous today and give one a try.

I am shocked...shocked that food designed to have a shelf line of years tastes processed.

No meat in those Baw. Only thing good is the oatmeal cookie. Everyone I have opened was bean salad and beans with potatoes.

The gum is a laxative.

No gum in these. Just bean dinner, crackers, sesame seed butter, and a pouch of something they claim is a banana smoothie.

Don't even get those in military MRE's any more. Just a packet of generic hotsauce.


I still have a packet of MRE BBQ sauce from BCT. In 1998.

Figuring out which ones he likes the most before our new socialist government forces us to ration food.

Sounds like you've got a civilian FEMA ration. Those things suck a bag of dicks. The military rations are much better. Hell I ate a German bundeswehr ration the other day for fun that was delicious.

Someone has to have the story about the guy who made the MRE dinner for a date and she blew up his bathroom.
