MRE Eating Guide
For some of you non-military types out there that have always wondered what it is like to eat a military MRE (Meal Ready to Eat), here is one person’s guide to eating one that may be of interest to you.Â
Just for the record I really don’t mind eating MRE’s. I think this is something the Army does very well. They are light to carry, can be eaten hot with a heater inside each package, are filling, and most of them do taste decent. If something does not taste good to you, you always have the option of adding Tabasco sauce to it. My all time favorite MRE is chicken & salsa, good stuff as far as Army food goes.
Nothing touches the Cheese Tortellini, in my humble opinion.
You are right cheese tortellini is quite good. I would have to say I like chicken and salsa just a little more.
Now, I wish Nadict, MA soldier support center start making kimchee and sticky rice in the MRE, then it would make Korean American happy and also they can export them to ROK military if there are any left over. I hate those aweful hard rice that MRE has for rice at this time.
Also, I had an opportunity to enjoy White bag Winter MRE when I was in Kuwait in 2003. One of the AV unit left a pallet load behind when they went up north to Iraq. It was best tasting MRE I ever tasted in my life. I only ate one bag of Cold Weather MRE per day because of huge caloree content which was required in cold weather. There was oat meal, ramen noodle and entre which all you need is hot water to add for each bag. I end up eating these MRE instead of walking over to DFAC because it was much better than A Ration. I wished I could get them easy as regular brown bag MRE.
