Lithuanian MRE - Stewed Beef with Vegetables
Time again for another MRE review. This time it's a fairly new Lithuanian Beef Stew with Vegetables. Keeping with our beef stew theme, this one tasted much better than the 1970's LRRP freeze dried US MRE and later versions. Maybe that was because it wasn't decades old?!? This MRE had an excellent fl...

Food Packet, Long Range Patrol, Menu #7, Beef Stew (1970's)
This packet is a Menu #7 Beef Stew. It is fairly spartan and comes with two drinks (hot cocoa and coffee) and a vanilla fudge bar. The beef stew is dehydrated and was packaged by Oregon Freeze Dry, the precursor to Mountain House. Unknown date on this one, could be early 1970’s to mid 1980’s. Everyt...

French RIE video review
Finally back to doing some reviews! In honor of the 2024 Paris Olympics, I thought a French MRE would be fun. It's a Menu #2, Chicken Taboule. https://youtu.be/OXPfFZN02YY Taboule a la Volaille - Chicken Tabbouleh Pruneaux dénoyautes - Pitted Prunes Rilettes de maquereau a la tomato - Mackerel sprea...

1995 MRE Review - Ham Slice
I’m back again with another MRE review. I am a glutton for punishment, so were are returning to the old brown bag MREs. This one was given to me by a buddy who swears it wasn’t stored in bad conditions. In reality, the majority of the MRE was edible and seemed in good condition. The problem with the...

2018 MRE Menu #16 Review - Chicken Burrito Bowl
2018 MRE Menu #16 Review - Chicken Burrito Bowl https://youtu.be/qxCGWzKCr3w I’m back and decided to review an MRE that is younger than 30 years. I’ve got some 2018 MREs that are from some pretty favorable menus and wanted to give my stomach a breach from the science projects I’ve done the last few ...

1991 “Brown Bag” MRE Menu #5 - Spaghetti with Meat and Sauce
This was an interesting MRE to sample. Again, it came from the same era as some of the others I have review (early 1990’s). These were some of the first improved MREs compared to earlier K and C rations. This particular one was issued to my buddy who fought fires over the summer during that time for...

1992 Ration, Cold Weather - Menu #4B - Chicken A La King
My good buddy on the FAL Files sent me this MRE to sample and review. This Part B includes a main entree of Chicken A La King. Chicken chunks with veggies in noodles. Depending on how much water was added, it might be saucy or even could be prepared as a soup or stew. The sides in the packet include...

2018 Menu 23 - Pizza Slice, Pepperoni
https://youtu.be/GrO7whisDUY Time for another review. I decided to take a break from the old brown bag MREs and go for something a little bit more modern. This one is from 2018 and features one of the newer menus, Pepperoni Pizza Slice. The Bridgeford Company has been working on a number of shelf s...

Cool. I'm sure they were stored better than mine!
