2016 MRE Rib Shaped BBQ Pork Patty Review The Best Meal Ready to Eat No Longer Made Taste Test

  • The BBQ Rib Patty MRE was arguably the greatest menu taken out of service in recent years, and was replaced by Chicken Burrito Bowl. This thing typically sells for around $30 these days, and sometimes more than that. With a main course that so closely resembles a McRib, it really gave soldiers a taste of home. In remembrance of the fallen on this day, I felt this menu was perfect to review. Those fallen soldiers are gone, but not forgotten.
    Still in production is my 1957 Ration, Survival, Individual - along with a 2021 Danish 24hr ration, a 1970's Coast Guard Approved Survival Ration, 1945 K Ration Dinner, and a case of 1969 MCIs. June is going to be a great month if all goes as planned. The 1957 RSI ended up becoming a double survival ration review, and some restoration work as well. So stayed tuned for those, and more as I'm in a flurry of new filming projects since the introduction of this new camera. Alright cool, see ya.

      My dad was a baseball fan. When he passed away in 1986, my mom joked that "he ate so many hot dogs at Red Sox games that we didn't even need to embalm him."
      RIP Dad. I'm almost the same age now as you were on that day. I understand only too well what "he died too young" means now.

    Back when I was in the Army, this was one of my go-to favorite MREs. Any time I got it, I would trade something for the red pepper packet from another Joe, and add that to the BBQ sauce along w/ the pork rib, then make a sammich from it. Alongside the Buffalo Chicken, and the Maple Sausage MREs. Getting one of those, and letters from my family on the same day was like heaven for me.

      like (meal1) meatballs and mashed potato (meal2) ground meat and mashed potato.
      there is a reason why the moment two diffrent nations armies meet out in the field MRE rations are traded.

      Ha! I noticed that too. I think it’s mainly because it also had the jelly though. The MRE’s we got when I was in the Army you got peanut butter or jelly, never both.

      I always just saved them in a pocket for a snack. They’re better off as that, as it’s easy to miss a meal or 3. Things that can be eaten on the move are usually saved, and that’s usually a good choice.
