the closest i have come to an mre is with a contract for a pallette
What do you think of the Chicken Fajitas? I thought they were pretty good (at least in the really short term).
I've been through a few AusArmy field ration packs. They weren't too bad.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Sounds pretty feral.
All the AusArmy field ration packs had meals that had to be prepaired by the person eating them. Ie. Had to boil the rice n shit yourself, or rehydrate other things.

MREs are great. I ate a bunch of them during the hurricanes in florida because they were giving them out for free.
after we got hit by hurricane charley i lived off mre's for a month they sucked ass but when your starving they good shit. even if they tasted like they were left over from ww2. now im more prepared for hurricanes.. have a gas grill 2 tanks of gas for it... next time we get hit i'll shoot a cow,hog or gator and have real food.
ive had hospital food ,prison food,jail food and have to say the older mre's suck ass. a buddy of mine is a survival nut and went with him to the army/navy surplus store a while back and tried one of the newer mre's it was pretty dam good. so i got a case of em mixed enough for 30 days incase. never know down here between the hurricanes and wild fires they may come in handy.

you learn the true meaning of life when you see houses and cars blow by like leaves on a windy day.

I guess I ate the British Equivalent for two weeks. Back when I was 14 and in 'the cadets'
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
I've had Canadian ratpacks, MRE's and been stuck on Brit ratpacks. I liked how you lot get bread and peanut butter in the MRE's and little condements, which you did'nt in the Brit ones. Anyone else had the miss pleasure of Biscuit browns and either pate or horrible cheese from a British ratpack?
Oh and best meal l had was Chicken, mushroom and Pasta (British). Lovely., but bloody hard to find!

I've had quite a few of the British ones. Most of them were pretty good, although I seem to recall that there was a desert that was dumplings with caramel sauce or something like that which was terrible.
lol 7 months, but they are good if you mix you own stuff with it.usmarine2005 wrote:

You have to learn to work with it and make something use full from it.
One month the only thing we got was a fat beef stew, every fucking day again....so fat that it looked like jelly.
Fruit dumplings in butter scotch sauce. If you fed that stuff to the ememy, you'd be in the Hage being charged with war crimes! That was the first thing to hit the bin when l was packing for exercise!ghettoperson wrote:
