  • We had our Mexican Dads try Military MRE meals made by the United States Department of Defense. These meals are not only used by the military when they are out in the field but are also used by civilians during emergencies.

      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.

    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

    That’s not Military food, that’s combat food. That’s what you eat in the field, you can prepare it anywhere, and it’s meant to give you a lightweight high calorie meal instead of starving.

    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).
