    During my 20 years in the Marine Corps, I saw a lot of menu changes. But, i can say that it wasn't so much what was in your specific pouch, but what you could ultimately make with a few creative trades. For example; tortilla from one, jalapeno cheese from another and refried beans from yet another and you had a pretty good burrito. Im sure the mythical kitchen could have a field day.

    The thing about the chicken burrito bowl is that it's the newest menu, it was made in 2017, chili mac is older and back then it was most likely the best one. Also for the shredded beef and the chicken burrito bowl, in the field theres never time to make a taco, so the chili mac is also already ready, granted you can eat them without a tortilla its not as good.
    Another thing about MRE's is that the side items can definitely change their rating, especially with the spinach barfredo and the vomellette.

    Definitely should’ve had the whole MRE with the main dish. The old drink mixes and stale skittles as a dessert really create the whole package! 😂 My boyfriend is in the army and he bought a few of these for us to try together so I could experience what he gets while he is away.
    Thankful for all the service men and women who fight for the freedoms we enjoy in America each day! ❤️

    The multigrain bread is some of the best bread you’ll ever have tbh. It’s almost like a dessert.

    My dad would save the peanut butter, Cheez whiz and crackers from his rations during exercise and bring them home to me. I honestly thought they were the best. It was like Christmas, extruding pb or cheese onto crackers from greenish brownish tubes. Just writing about them brings back the flavour memory and I haven't had them in over 25 years.
