MRE - Beef Stew

[whiskeytown]

So a friend of mine brought in a box of MRE's today - he uses them for hunting - He sent a couple boxes down

I snagged one - it's beef stew - I can't cook it now (it comes with it's own pouch/heater, but it stinks - gotta do it at home on the balcony) -

anyone ever had some of these? - I've heard they're miles above old army rations - totally self sufficent - I tried a bit of the chicken from one that a friend cooked, and that was good.
