Favorite/Worst MRE Meal

[pkober]

It doesn't matter because once you put the tabasco in it they all taste the same.

What the most complete MRE's you have ever seen anyone eat in one sitting?

believe it or not, I always liked the oatmeal butt-plug too, although that thing would always swell up after a couple canteens of forced hydration and make me look like a pot-bellied starvin-marvin (minus the flies in the eyes). .

One of my friends did 7 in a day when we were on the firelines.

Worst: The Four Fingers of Death....(the Weenies).
Best: Spaghetti w/ meat.

FYI: Setting off a MRE heater bomb at 0200 in the middle of the Wadi is not good headwork.

....aaah. good times, good times.

The cheese spread on crackers 1) rules 2) takes the place of immodium.
Also if you get that new Chicken with Salsa MRE and add the cheese to it - then heat it up, it's good.
When we were flying circles around Mogadishu in 94 ,we ate MREs on our 14 hour missions. We used to always discard the Escalloped potatos and the Omelet with Ham...one day, just before TO our LM ran off the plane to get a case - we closed up and took off....inflight he opened the box and found that some &sshole from LG had taken all the crappy ones everyone threw out and put them in a case, sealed it, slid the cardboard cover over it and was distributing them. We had an entire case of Escalloped Pot and Omelets and Ham.

Anybody have the pleasure of the cold weather ones? The ones that come in white packages and have half a million times the amount of calories the regular MREs pack?

Great for sitting around waiting.

Yup. I remember that one meal came in two big white packets. Brings back memories of January above 10k feet in a snow cave that I dug, wondering how many of us would survive the coming storm.

And lets not forget the giant goofy tennis racket snow shoes that go right along with the white MRE's.

I don't miss that crap one iota.

We use to have competitions to see if it was possible to eat half of one of those MRE crackers in 30 seconds, or a whole one in a minute. Sounds easy, but it is hard to accomplish.

 

[Medivacer]

I give them two minutes, then a whistle.

We have a winner! I could not agree more.

Amen, brother.

MRE--meal, ready to eat. AKA Meals Rejected by Ethiopians.

Pork patties were pretty bad. They looked like dried out McD's hash browns. In the mid '80s, they forgot(?) to include Tabasco.

The mashed potatoes were pretty awful. The last time I had those I was plenty hungry and had no time to heat em up. Despite my hunger I still couldn't stomach the suckers without mixing them with a packet of peanut butter.
I prefer the Jambalaya. I wonder though, what kind of meat the little shrimps truly are.
