I was told by a buddy who was in the Army a few years back that MRE stood for 'Meals Refused by Ethiopians'.

Meal refuses to exit is more accurate.

They have roughly 3000 calories.

I've eaten roughly a ton of them in my life. They came out with a new style about 5 years ago, with crap like Riggatoni, stuff like that.

The beef stew one is one of the better ones, but the reigning champ is still and always will be the escaloped potatoes and ham.

You mix everything together, add the tabasco and heat. It's good.
