1x Jumbalaya w/ Ham & Shrimp
1x Poppy Seed Pound Cake
1x Whole Wheat Bread
1x Strawberry Milkshake Mix
1x Strawberry Jelly
1x Salt, Coffee, Creamer, Sugar etc.

Well as you all know it's not a 5 star cuisine but it's really not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
The pouch you use to heat up your food gets INCREDIBLY HOT INCREDIBLY FAST. An ounce of water
Heated the pouch up to like 150 degree's in 3 seconds.

The only thing that was kinda gross was the strawberry milkshake. The pound cake had the best taste.
The jumbalaya was a close second for taste, the bread was third, and the milkshake was last.

You guys should atleast try one of these once in your life lol.

Someone I know came out the royal marines with boxes of that shit. All the meat ones are sickly, you just know it's bones and cartilage and all the cheapest parts of the animal. (Kinda like fast food without tasting nice)

The matches and chocolate were the best things to come outta those boxes.

cold weather mre's are much much better. but you are right, the new ones are not that bad. now, if you had eaten the ones they used to give us in the 90's, you would not be praising them.

Mek, it's like a stew.

I like the MREs. My uncle brought a few back from his tour in Afghanistan and they were pretty damned good. My brother and I split one each for a few days. So many damned calories in those things, though ...

I think they taste like absolute shit. The only semi-decent one I've had is beef stew, and even that one I only ate because I was really hungry.
