Considering the brown bag is now 25 years old, using the word “tasty” might not be a good description anymore. :mrgreen:
They’re more of collectibles that some dare to taste these days.

I'm sorry, come to think of it that was very rude. these risks have interesting rewards.

I would recommend a 1992 beef stew brown bag.
That menu is the best Mre menu i have ever eaten, i dont like the modern one though. Old one has an actuall chew with the meat, i didnt find it mushy. Everything about it is good in my opinion, and i dont like the modern ones becouse they dont have any chew.

Also the Artic field ration called "Lammegryte/Lamb stew) Idk i love that menu the most out of Norwegian rations, or the Pasta provence. I probaly ate 100 of them when i was in the army:) Idk if you care about Norwegian ones but i wanted to tell you, i think they are even better than Reindeer stew.

Aim for something with the dehydrated fruit. Stuff is great.

As for IMPs. Depends on your taste. There are several reviews, and I have complete menu lists with components located under the International Ration forum.

I recently had the 1985 Diced Beef with gravy. The only things inedible were the crackers and the cheese spread. Was a delightful experience.

When I actually ate a few brown bag MRE's in ROTC in the early 90s, I liked the dehydrated pork patty and something BBQ.

What I found odd about eating rations in those days is that there really were not any that were solidly "breakfast". Eating BBQ at 5 am was weird.
