Hi all,
Just ate my first MRE (thanks to German_EPA)!

I must admit they are tasty. I ate the number 5 menu from 2004

Chicken Breast
Minestrone Stew
Cheese Spread (Jalapeno)
Wheat Snack Bread
Pound Cake

The minestrone stew was delicious even though i wasn't hungry at all, ofcourse i overfilled the MRE-heater, but nothing bad happened despite the warning on it

The cheese spread is not really my thing, too spicy

The chicken breast is heating as i type this. And after that ofcourse the pound cake

So that was the first of many to come

Stop it before it is to late.
You will become another MRE-addict as we all are...

congratulations on losing your mre cherry. i am surprised you dont like the jalepeno cheese. but i guess not everyone likes the spicy stuff. i hope you get a chance to try the chicken cavetelli. it is one of my personal favorites.

So how did the chicken breast and the pound cake turn out?

Pound cake was delicious

, chicken breast was ok i guess, it's definitly not what chicken tastes like when you cook it yourself, but with the seasoning it tasted alright

I have also had two birthdays in the past week, and in both i gave them an MRE as a present, they both said it was one of the coolest gifts they'd ever had

Heh heh...only in MREs will you find someone saying the chicken "doesn't taste like chicken".

(I don't know if it's a joke in other countries, but in the US, when you eat something strange - possum, rat, armadillo, etc. - and someone asks how it tastes, you say "it tastes like chicken".)

Hey --- it takes a lot of chicken beaks to make that entree (and just the right amount of seasoning too I might add).

Btw, what's up with this inspection date they stamp on every case?

Inspection
a formal or official examination

How can the US army use future dates for this?
Like one case i have:
Insp.: 01/08
That's January 2008 right?
Why do they do this?
