Re: MRE - Beef Stew
The Uk has sent 500,000 similar packs over for New Orleans, army rations has 4,000 calories and is meant to be relatively nice but not sure what you guys would make of hot pot and riced pudding thats in it, there are vegatarian and ethnic options in those as well which logistacally getting to people in the field must be a nightmare.

chicken a la king is also a good one. [/ QUOTE ] Ah, my second favorite, chicken a la king. People can't appreciate the beauty that is an MRE dump until they've eaten them for 5 weeks straight 3 meals a day. that cheese man, wow. It's a log jam waiting to be spread on a cracker. |
Re: MRE - Beef Stew
The vegetarian meals are easily the best ones.
Check out some of the writing on the inner cardboard packaging. I think the Grilled Beefsteak main meal says something along the lines of "meat chunked and formed with grill marks." It tastes like dog food. Everyone says MRE's taste OK, but try eating them for six months straight. |

Re: MRE - Beef Stew
The vegetarian meals I can remember are Cheese Tortellini and Black Bean Burrito. There are other pasta main meals. Every box of twelve MRE's comes with three or four veggie meals.
The burrito is easy to eat on the move and is not bad cold. Also, some of the cheese packets are now Cheese with Jalapenos. This is good stuff for an MRE. |

Re: MRE - Beef Stew
I have to disagree. The burrito tastes like pure ass (dont ask how I know what pure ass tastes like).

Re: MRE - Beef Stew
All this sounds superior to Ham and MFer's.

I'll even throw in the sh*tbrick(fudge brownie). As much as I dislike MRE's, they're not bad to have around for emergency situations like Katrina in NO. |
