Hey folks,
My mother has had these in her collection for awhile and will wish to part with them after I research them properly.
Yes, I did see the nifty date finder on this site, however the code on these seems different, and I'm having trouble due to that.
Your help is appreciated. (My mother thanks you in advance.)
The code is 53602G31 and they are Beef, Diced, with Gravy. (All four the same code & meal type)
Thank you & Cheers, from Northern California,
~KA

I assume, it´s the "5360" so it´s 1985 (Menu #8), Day 360 so it was the Dec26s.

Do not eat this. Collector ONLY. When I was on FTX at Hohenfels, about '86, there was a recall/no-eat, about certain MRE beef meals. Lucky for us, we got 3 hots in the field, instead of 1 hot/2 MRE. Bulging MRE beef entree's. I did see 2 of them, beef stew puffed up, ready to burst. Nasty. I loved the brats and kartoffeln supplied by the locals for hot supper at camp Albertshof. 
After the Chicken and the Egg, came the "Omelet"!

eegads no - I dont' have enough sense to figure out the date code, but I do have enough sense not to eat the darn things!
Though thank you kindly for the tip, all the same.

I think you'll find that there are a few people here who don't have that sensejustacoolchick wrote:eegads no - I dont' have enough sense to figure out the date code, but I do have enough sense not to eat the darn things!

I'm using my computer's spare resources to help find cures for diseases, analyze astronomical data, render 3D animations, simulate new materials and run climate models--what is your computer doing? http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ Or ask me for help!

Oldest thing I ate that I posted on this site was a cracker from 1953 - but for meat items a 1980 Chicken W/ Rice Long Range Patrol Ration... but NEVER would I eat really old Thermo-Stabilized Packet MRE's... that would just be "Spinning the Wheel of Botulism Fun..!" (I think it was Big_Jo who used that saying once.. kinda stuck with me after all these years).
Those MRE entrees are perfect for a collector's display!
