I know that feel. My beef taco MRE was always peanut butter, jelly and no hot sauce. I mean, it didn't even have bread. What the fuck was I going to do with the peanut butter? Use up one of my torts? The beef taco MRE is seriously deluxe with jalepeno cheese spread, though.

Chili mac, beef stew, and brisket are tops.
Only psychopaths eat the vegetarian omelette and don't bitch about it the whole time. If they gave more picante sauce with it, it might be more tolerable.

Brother is in united states army

From what he said, veggy crumble is the absolute worse, asian stew being pretty bad also, but the entrees dont matter a whole lot

The meals the soldiers want are the ones with good sweets, coffee cake or candy

Soldiers will horde those sweets like crazy, almost valuble as cigs on deployment

Drinks too, koolaid and instant coffee, they dont even drink it, they pour it right in their mouths

My favorite one was the chicken fajita.

The egg is one of the top tier MREs. The main entree is vomit inducing but everything else included with it was amazing. Pop tart?! Scones?! MOTHER FUCKING APPLE BUTTER?!?!

When I was in the military I would trade people for those MREs all the time. Throw away the omelette and eat everything else.

That gif makes me so mad. Legit no one would throw away their jalapeno and cheese like that. Also complaining about peanut butter? That shit was gold, especially if it is chocolate peanut butter.

If you can you should try the "rougail de saucisse" and add the cheese in can and pepper.

This and the ostrich are God gift to you.

I eat most of them cold. I don't like to waste time heating them.
The tartiflette is meh, not great not terrible.

I don't know where youlive, they are pretty expensive in the US but should be more afordable in Europe.

But you could try the menu 5 (beef tortelini/oriental salad)
Menu 1 (kebab meat/tuna)
Menu 10 (Duck parmentier/iatlian salad)
The 11 is ok, veal is not great but the pork risoto with shrooms is very good once heated.

BUT NEVER EVER the one with lamb, disguting.

Russia has the best MREs. Tastes like real food. It's cooked with real fire and they come with little stoves. America could learn a thing or two about Russian cuisine. American MREs feel like they are designed for teenagers. Russian MREs feel like they are made for MEN.

Ex Australian Army here, many moons ago we had a 24hr ration pack with ‘lamb and rosemary’. Completely inedible cold, and like eating rank roadkill with a handful of rosemary in it when hot. Hideous.
Beware of Australian ration chocolate too, it has laxatives in it so you don’t bind up in the field.

haven't had a US MRE, but the Russian one I had did generally taste a lot more like real food, the little stove was cute too, but the flame can easily give off light and reveal your position in a low-light situation. Also, the glossy packaging on both US MREs and Russian IRPs is less than ideal. The CAF IMP sucks because they don't come with either a stove or a heater bag, and there's always a shortage on the heater bags that SHOULD just come with them, but the packaging is at least a matte colour.
