I only eat brown bag MREs
I say, BRING back some of the old school menus. IMHO the 92 -95 menus were the "golden age" of MRE meals.
I bet if some of the old school meals were re introduced, they would go down a wow, especially with the younger recruits who have never tried them
I dont like the sound of most of the current MRE mains. Too fussy, spicy. I dont do chilli and I dont do macaroni.
Just my opinion.
My favs.. BBQ pork and rice - Brilliant
Meatballs in rice w Tomato sauce - Lovely
These both jan 1992 vintage Ive got a case to enjoy still.. All components were perfect, apart from sticky charms. Thats no barrier, so I ate them anyway.
Chicken a la king next. Im going to create a sicko twisted thai peanut chicken chowder with it. Crumble in the crackers and add the peanut butter. Additional spicing based on how drunk I am. A refreshing cucumber and cherry tomato salad on the side.
Then the ham slice. Im scared of the tuna and noodles. I feel strangely confident about the ham and egg omelette. I have a plan to make it edible. First mash up the pouch with a rolling pin. Then cook for 5 mins on a hob in very boiling water. Then remove from pouch and sautee gently in butter. A teaspoon of ketchup about half way through.
