    @Grandpa... Před 2 lety +118

    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.

    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.
