I did a sin...
We bought at the supermarket a civilian (crap) "hot meal"
A "nice" plastic bowl
instand noodles and a pouch of spice mix
Add with water
and nuke it for 5 min
It worked well but tasted...

Re: Do not try this at home...
That looks similar to some of the meals I've seen in our local grocery store - you add water and sauce mix to noodles and microwave for a while.
I almost picked up some of those on my last store visit but then I saw some new "Hormel Compleats" meals - but these were branded "Chi-Chi's". Chi-Chi's is a faux-Mexican restaurant chain in the US. I haven't seen a real, live Chi-Chi's restaurant in a long time but it looks like their name is still around.
As coincidence would have it, guess what I had for lunch today? You guessed it - a "Savory Garlic Chicken" Chi-Chi's meal:
The food was actually VERY good - one of the best of these types of meals I've had!

Re: Do not try this at home...
i prefer the hormel meals myself, wait till they go for sale at either kroger or walmart (kroger at one time had them on a 10 for $10 special),
normally they seems to run about $2.50, average sales prices is $1.98 or so

Wow,
I've seen the Betty Crocker Bowl's at my Dollar Tree store for 1.00 a piece. There pretty good but for me and some people you need two to feel satified. That Mexican dish looks pretty darn good, though.

On the label or inside?
I have some nice civil entrees aswell.. but they always manage to be off less quality then the military ones (except for the very very expensive ones)
I guess the military isn't buying cheap stuff either (but ok.. they'll make a better prices if you take 3 million rations I think..)

Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
