I'm an admitted FALoholic; get 'em while the gettin' is good. Who would have thought that today is "the good ol' days" and that we'd ever get them back after Clinton? I'd grab .223 and a can of Progresso Hearty Chicken soup before I'd grab a FAL........ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/turboma...

Thanks 4 the kind comments. I prefer a box of Tuna Helper and a can of dolphin-safe tuna [packed in water] to any MRE. Some of you may recall I first posted at MRE Info after last year's Hurricane Rita after becoming dreadfully flatulent on a fresh FEMA MRE. I sold one of my six FALs to my brother-i...

Those old MREs are gone. We live in one of the few places in coastal Louisiana that was spared from Katrina and Rita so having emergency rations and food supply is paramount. I shall test MRE entrees for digestive function. But, it's hard to beat common canned foodstuffs for taste, nutrition, variet...

I was a two-time loser. I finally got it right on this last go-around. She's gone through the entire kitchen and found these ancient MREs. We'd both be scared to eat them. As you may recall a couple of months back, I posted to describe the aftermath of eating a brand-new beef ravioli MRE for lunch r...
