Out of the 1000’s of people testing MRE on KZread you are by far my favorite, glad I found you

I've had that MCW, and I agree with you. It's REALLY good! I always avoided any FD ration with scrambled eggs in it, thinking they would be rubbery, but I ended up trying that menu, and now I'm always looking out for them. They are usually the first menus to go when anyone is selling MCW, so I don't get the breakfast ones very often, but I've tried them all and there isn't one that's not great imo. Just one tiny suggestion, with the protein drinks, you really have to shake them for at least a minute to get them to mix. They won't mix if you just add water and let them sit. Great review again :)

From my experience you have to shake the double H E hockey sticks out of the protein drinks to get them smooth and a little more water always worked best. That and the scramble always required a little more water and to sit for 5 more minutes than what they said. I would lay the scramble packet on top of the tortilla's to heat help them, the cheese on top of the scramble and cover it all with my balaclava to hold in the heat. All hot and worked out great.. My fav breakfast meal. Also the oatmeal was rockstar and I would split the sugar between that and the coffee. Having some sweetness in both worked great. A couple bites of oatmeal and then some sips of coffee both being semi sweet worked out great..

I don't know how the military stuff is but, when Mountain House started making freeze dried stuff, they put a 10-year shelf life on it because they had no idea how long it was going to last.

Indeed! TFW

OH YEAH, I could dive on this meal. Freeze-dried is absolutely the way to go for the long-term storage of healthy food. Cost is the issue. Honestly, I believe our personnel deserves food of this quality for every meal they consume. The downside is eating a freeze-dried meal that has not been reconstituted is problematic. Some foods you can chew up with a lot of water, some not so much. The research facilities that plan and create MREs want long-term storage but, unfortunately, wet food requires a lot of preservatives to be shelf stable and that is not so healthy. The addition of nitrogen gas (to prevent oxidation) in the retort pouch helps but will never fully equal freeze-dried food for stability and quality. One advantage is that you can easily consume conventional MREs cold if you have to. Might not be the most pleasant thing in life but we all do what we have to do when the time comes.

@MeAncient
