The B case is my favorite case usually. Besides the fact that it doesn't include the Country Captain Chicken, the B cases contain what I consider to be the staple of MREs....the Spaghetti w/ Meat Sauce MRE. But here's a quick rundown of the usual contents:

Case B
--------
13 - Cheese Tortellini - One of my favorite vegeterian MREs!
14 - Manicotti w/Vegetables - That giant manicotti lump kind of scares me
15 - Beef Enchiladas - an excellent MRE, too!
16 - Chicken w/Noodles - average
17 - Sloppy Joe Filling - haven't tried this one yet
18 - Cajun Rice & Sausage - pretty good!
19 - Roast Beef w/Vegetables - very good!
20 - Spaghetti w/Meat Sauce - one of the best MREs!
21 - Chicken Tetrazzini - average
22 - Jambalaya - ok if you like Jambalaya - I wasn't a big fan of the shrimp
23 - Chicken w/Cavetelli - another one of my personal favorites - nothing too special here, just chicken, shell pasta, and tomato sauce.
24 - Meatloaf w/Gravy - another one of my personal favorites - love that meatloaf!

Case B MRE

Post by SoFloAuthor » Sat Oct 07, 2006 4:56 pm

I gotta agree with you Kman, the B Case is the preferred case in my preparedness pantry, although I believe there are a couple of A cases that have snuck in over the years.

Don't knock the CCC, it's great when your neighbors who didn't prepare come mooching "spare food". Give them the triple C meal and I guarantee they won't come back asking for more.

The manicotti is a tasty meal and I tend to hog the vegatarian meals for myself...give it a try!

I've tried the CCC this week :roll:

What do they keep on putting a piece of sponge in the bottom of the tomato sauce pouch?
I can't see what it's for, a moisture absorber, a bacteria killer?

... not something edible anyway :lol:

Indeed, why?
And why is there a sponge/scourer in the British arctic rat's :?: To clean your cuttlery / tin?

Thank you dirtbag,

I wasn't really sure about my own guess. Also because I never saw one in any other rations. But now I now why the sponge is there. Thanks.

With the Arctic rations, you actually have to cook, not just heat up. the pot / mug gets dirty...
