      I don't have any MREs but I have a stockpile of emergency shelf stable food. I had several of these MREs that were 10 years old, and tried them. They are supposed to last for many years but not so much 10 years and they were gross overall. Prisoners eat better. But back in 2005 mostly all the survivors and police officers working hurricane katrina were provided MREs until other food was provided by FEMA.

    All dads agree on 1 thing. They deserve better meals and I swear I think one of them wanted to tear up.😢 I miss my dad he passed away 3 years ago and this reminds me of him.

    • @draculinalilith396
      @draculinalilith396 6 месяцев назад +1

      nah fr they deserve better meals but these are emergency rations. They are trying to make it taste better, bt the most important aspect for now is weight, compartmentalization (transport space) and how long the food stays good. Which is smart and efficient for war, but forces troops to eat some NASTY food. I've gone weeks on end eating these in field exercises. Its pretty tasty for something that lasts like 10 years y'know. But compair to some other countries mre's and they get WAY nicer food in cans and stuff (cans add more weight). Weight is super important. On some forward military bases they actually do have mini grocery stores n stuff.

    MREs are for when you are in combat or training in the field, they are high in calories so you have energy all day. When I was in the army they use to have little bottles of Tabasco. The best by far was chilli mac and the worst was the veggie omelet

      We did (still do I'm guessing) eat these things in certain ways for certain reasons. They cost about $9 a pop in 2010 so we only got them when we had to. I think we got two a day. There's ways to mix this stuff up and make it more bearable.

We had no lights for 2 weeks and from where we lived it was a one way in, one way out road and it was blocked for days because of the downed trees and powerlines. I never figured out how to do use the green bags. I would love to try the Poundcake and cheese again.

    This has been said many times already but, the MREs are food for when soldiers are on the go, on the battlefield. I don't think it would be smart to give them a meal that would be fresh, the enemy could smell it and the soldier's location would be given away.

    So oddly enough the accessory packet for MREs sometimes does come with packets of hot sauce. Back in the day they actually came with a tiny bottle of tabasco with just enough hot sauce for certain mains. Honestly though none of the MREs these guys got were the good ones. My favorites were the beef stew, the spicy penne pasta, and the chili with beans. I think all 3 of those came with tabasco sauce to add to them.

    lol, Arturo forgot the Coast Guard... To be fair though, EVERYONE forgets the Coast Guard. What's more bothersome, is that he forgot the Marine Corps. There's a joke to be made about Marines and crayons, but i'm just too tired to do it witty, so i'll pass this time..
    The thing about MREs though, is that they're kinda bland on purpose, to make them palatable to as many people as possible. S'why nothing's properly spiced or seasoned. Guys who have been in long enough know to have some spices and stuff on hand to make the things taste better.
    We CAN warm up the rations in the field.. it's just that sometimes the ration heaters don't work right.....but you CAN leave the entree in a safe place in the engine bay of a vehicle, if you've got time.. Also, yeah, that mayo is runny because it's fake "Light" mayo.. basically miracle whip (which is disgusting).
