Bring it on! I think tuna is excellent for field rations. I still miss the old tuna C-Rat.

Still, why tortillas? Is there anyone in the world who makes tuna sammiches on a tortilla?

Probably because they are light weight and have a long shelf life. Plus they make the whole process less messier. I know these are the reasons NASA uses tortillas on space flights.

Obviously (to me, anyway), I was joking with my crack about totillas.

I can see that tortillas are already on the MRE production line, and will serve well in a tuna salad wrap.

Just saying that not including bread instead is an interesting choice by Natick.

Well, Tuna w/ Noodles sucked back in the late 80's, but maybe Starkist pouches of white fish meat are better. Hopefully, it's Albacore. I can handle it. If Lewis and Clark and crew ate that much pounded salmon, I guess a tuna fillet would be a nice change. :wink:
