Apparently this Beef Stew MRE was brought back state side when Operation Desert Storm came to an end. The former owner found it along with half a case of other Meals Ready to Eat after some US soldiers departed the plane he was working on. This ration must have been stored exceptionally well because...

Here's a Latvian Nation Armed Forces (NBS) Field Ration! This military food pack is similar to the Meal Ready To Eat but unlike a MRE it is meant to feed a soldier for a 12 hour period. The main meal is canned and can be heated with the included esbit stove. This is a truly world class ration in ter...

Turkey Tetrazzini sounds pretty tasty! Feeding troops in extreme cold environments has its challenges. The US Military issues a specific Ration for this purpose. The Meal Cold Weather (MCW) replaces the MRE in arctic conditions. Unlike the meal ready to eat the MCW has a freeze-dried main course. Fr...

I've had my eye on XMRE for years but never tried one until now. XMRE packs commercial Meals Ready to Eat for the civilian market. The use a mix of self made and Military Ration components. These are about as close to genuine MRE as I've seen from the civilian market. The meal kit has plenty of food...

This is one of the most foul smelling MREs I've ever encountered. This, almost 33 year old, vintage brown bag Meal Ready to Eat was packed back in 1990. The chicken stew was certainly looking and smelling its age. I think the major issue with Menu 3 withstanding the test of time is the addition of c...

I almost forgot how good the French RCIR is! The NATO approved RCIR or Individual Combat Ration is Frances' version of the Meal Ready To Eat. Unlike the MRE the RCIR contains enough food for a full 24 hours. This Pork Cheek Ravioli is about as close as you are going to get to gourmet food when it co...

The Tailored Operational Training Meal (TOTM) is almost like a Diet Meal Ready To Eat or "MRE Lite" if you would. The US Military issues TOTM rations to soldiers in training situations where they don't have easy access to the mess hall but also don't have need for a meal kit as substantial as a MRE....

Thai Chicken MRE is a lie!! This is a Meal Ready to Eat menu I've always wanted to try out because I love Thai food: however, what the US Military calls "Menu 16 Thai Chicken" seemingly has zero inspiration from Thailand. With that said it's not a bad tasting menu, especially considering this vintag...

I've wanted to review a Kazakh MRE for ages! This is an Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan Individual Field Ration. It provides a Kazakhstani soldier's food for a full 24 Hour period. Other than just being a super cool military combat ration, what really had me excited about this one was the...

I’ve eaten a lot of questionable rations here on the channel. This 19-Year-Old US MRE may be the worst ever though. We are taste testing Menu 7 from 2004, Chicken with Salsa, and oh boy was this Meal Ready to Eat RANK! Apparently it was stored in a hot garage, and I believe it because the contents w...
