Best MRE?

[MikeyG]

What's the best MRE out there as far as taste, variety and shelf life?

[TeXXaN]

cheese burger, or the ribs. they have changed since 2005, the new variety is amazing compared to what they were. They still smell the same though.

Are you talking about the military issue MRE or are you talking about freeze dried backpacking type meals?

I didn't know that you could use the to words together.

LRRP rations we got in Vietnam were pretty dang good as compared to C rations.

These 1960's era packs are hard to find.

Oh yeah! I liked them and would trade a can of ham and eggs scrambled for them every chance I got. Heat em up with a quarter size piece of C4 in bout a minute.

$16 per MRE on Amazon?! Holy crap. Anyone know where can I get a few for less than that? lol. Wonder if there’s anywhere in the Houston area that I could swing in.

Why would you buy an actual MRE?

Both y’all are sick. Those were the worst in the box. Only lifers liked the ham and eggs and Lima beans.
Pork and beans were the best and spaghetti and meatballs a close second and top that off with a pound cake. Then have a smoke with those dried out cigarettes that came with them.

Not them ready made Kent cigs. We took all the tobacco out of them and filled em with the good stuff. At least that's the way it was done in 1968. So they tell me

Yeah I’m trying to remember but I was thinking there were Chesterfields, Lucky Strikes, Marlboro and Kools but memories ain’t that sharp anymore.

Btw, just so we don’t get chastised for derailment of this thread... all MRE’s are better than any C-rats we had back in the day.

They weren't that bad. Some were good some weren't. The chili mac or the ham slice were good. The pork patty was terrible. Spaghetti wasn't bad but the little bit of tabasco that came in it made it pretty good.

Oh and I loved the dehydrated peaches.
