MRE Review - 1993 Tuna with Noodles

Post by **kman** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 6:41 pm

A while back, kyle was kind enough to send me a couple of MREs that had been sitting his storage building forever. I said I'd be happy to take them off his hands and do an in-depth taste-test of them. So here's the first one - a 1993 MRE of Tuna and Noodles:

Stay tuned for the tale of terror I'll call "MRE Review - 1982 Pork Patty".

Actually, I did this MRE tasting last week when I was travelling out of town. But it took me a while to put all the pics together and get the review posted.

Hungry? Oh yeah, I sure was. Fortunately, this MRE hit the spot. The next night wasn't so pretty but I'll get that review posted tomorrow.

Very interesting report. You would think that an MRE that was subjected to a high desert summer (a bunch of them, actually) would degrade more than that.

I'm scared about tomorrow's report. . .

1982 Pork Patty? Isn't that the dehydrated one? Those were great -- what could be better than crunchy meat?

ate #4 ham omelette (loaf) from a '93 case y'day and it was all good. the hot sauce was still tangy! it even had a diet soda pkg which i had never seen before.

it even came with an FRH which i don't seem to remember from the '93 cases.

i guess keeping the cases inside (70-ish) helps with the longevity.[/url]

Amazing That a Entree Like tuna n noodles from 1993 could
still be edible. I was scared to buy a pork chop(or pork somthing) entree
from circa 1999 at a local army navy store.
Its Funny cause they have in the past only offered 2004/2005 entrees. Come dec 1st they loaded the shelves with a lotta old stock.
At a 1.72 each(no Shipping) i guess thats not so bad if there still good.

lol..lets hope you dont succumb to some unknown mre blight
