Chicken pesto, and the tuna one are good too. DO NOT get vege omelet... UNLESS you are eating MRE's for all three meals. In that case, get it for your breakfast meal. Toss the omelet, eat the poptart and hashbrowns it comes with, and save the redhots for later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-81302706627648634202009-01-24T19:41:00.000-08:002009-01-24T19:41:00.000-08:00Bukko, there's a lot of people in my town who have...Bukko, there's a lot of people in my town who have to eat those things...they call them Meals Rejected By Ethiopians, but since when do military personnel NOT bitch? :)<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, I got hungry reading it. I had a simple salad with ranch and Tapatio and for desert, an orange. Later I'll attack <A HREF="http://www.ediblearrangements.com/Arrangements/Arrangements.aspx?ArrangementCategoryID=24" REL="nofollow"> this thing </A> my mother sent me, she said my first word was "EAT"...<BR/><BR/>...later nothing, I just wiped out two of the chocolate covered strawberries. I've never had one of those before today, they're good.

So from a disaster planning point of view, knowing which MRE's to eat and which to trade with your next door neighbor might be an important skill in the aftermath of a disaster :-).<BR/><BR/>I do agree that as a camping food, they're not particularly good. They're too heavy and there's too much else in your grocery store that's better tasting (though not by much -- the best MRE's taste *good*, the wizards at Natick have somehow managed to make good-tasting food that lasts for years). They're useful for car camping only. But they do taste better than freeze-dried food. Of course, my dirty socks taste better than freeze-dried food :-).<BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Foodie PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-91699921203740307722009-01-24T09:22:00.000-08:002009-01-24T09:22:00.000-08:00Thank You for your " taste test " .

Although I am famillar with a few of the commercial products and the required " techniques " to make them palatable , I have never had the ' pleasure ' of their military counterparts . Actually with a little forethought and enough stove to cook pasta or instant rice there are many posibilities at your local market without resorting to packets of half chemicals or half grease . Still, availability is the issue .<BR/> an outdoor oriented w3skiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-58787287980977986192009-01-23T23:55:00.000-08:002009-01-23T23:55:00.000-08:00The frozen pizza reviews were more relevant to mos...The frozen pizza reviews were more relevant to most peoples' lives...Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.com
