I agree. The “veggie” MRE options were consistently the most awful tasting meals. He needed Beef Stew with cheese and crackers mashed up together. That was tasty.

You gave him the Spinach Fettuccine MRE? That is one of the worst you could give. Even Steve1989 could barely eat it and he literally ate century old rations from the Boer War.

During Desert Storm we would put the main meal in the engine bay of our armored vehicles and leave them there all day, so they'd be warm and we could eat quickly, since we didn't know how long we might be stationary.

I'm from nz, when I was living in canada i would always suggest getting kfc and people would look at me like i was some kind of animal. I finally got some when i was on my own and thru it out after one bite. The difference is night and day.

Had the gulf war (91-92) surplus leftover MREs in 96 in the Canadian army. The Canadian army MREs were from some small company in Quebec and were amazing but cost $25-$30 at that time. These modern ones look pretty decent.

Gotta try out the American Halal and Kosher MRE. Now those are amazing. I always bring myself some good ol Tapatio or Sriracha to get the flavor going.

The pretzels taste like combo's pretzels. They're really good! 😯👍

I was homeless during the pandemic...An we were given a case of MRE's which is 2 wks worth of meals it you eat 1 a day..plus all the extras saved our lives .. but flavor,well its missing some flavors...! This was fun to watch!!

Drill sgt blew his fuse, asking me "why tf are you eating bacon? You said you were jewish!" I responded. "Freedom of religion drill sgt, I smelled bacon and converted" "Well played carry on private"

Did he paint his face just for this challenge? So perfectly done!

(Directions are for the absolute obedience of the inexperienced, and for the guidance of the wise)

In the British Army we used to get the famous 'Biscuit Browns' Like an oat biscuit but made with more cardboard 😅 But passable when the cheese spread was on

These MREs look pretty good for field rations. In my active duty days the best were "individual meals", consisting of excellent canned food . The worst were the old Combat Rations, everything you need for one day. Three of those in you kit and you were ready for the line of departure.

One of my favorite MREs was the beef patty meal and cheese spread, only trouble though the beef patty was not ever big enough to fill me up. LURP MRE's were also good.

I got so constipated from MREs in the 90s when I was in the US Army. I always ate it cold, never heated it up

"Do you just open it by hand?" This is the worst interviewer ever, what did he expect? For him to pull out a pair of kitchen scissors to cut the packet open???? LMAO

In Singapore, our own version of MRE or Combat Rations has improved but many Singapore service personnel will agree that US MRE is much better than Singapore version.

What happened to the Hot Sauce bottle that was in the MRE's? Those made the MRE's way better

Chili Mac was my favorite

always heard mixed stories about mre's. Some like it an some not. Some even wish they had food like Vietnam. Even getting cigs in there mre's. My oldest is crazy about these. And is the only person that wants these for xmas & his b-day. So his aunt an Uncle (Army) send him quite a few bags. That boy could be in a middle of a war, surrounded by other troops just dreaming about american fast food or Mama's cookin. And he would be like an excited child with a bag of mre's. Crazy boy lol
