Usually i enjoy everything in MRE's but the following i didnt

-Clam Chowder, looks, smells and tastes like vomit.

-Molasses Cookie, has a very weird taste, not my style.

-Cherry Blueberry Cobbler, had a very new production of this but still didnt taste good

-Chicken Tetrazzini, same as clam chowder, looks smells and tastes like vomit

-Dairy Shakes, almost forgot, dont taste nearly as good as the real thing

Good thing i keep an MRE log so i don't have to open and tastes these anymore.

Everything hot spiced:

* CCC, Chili and Macaroni, Chicken w/Salsa etc.
* Cheese spread w/jalapenos
* most vegetarian dishes like: Chili and Macaroni, Pasta w/Vegetables in Tomato Sauce, Pasta w/Vegetables in Alfredo Sauce etc...
* Diary shakes (causing me diarrhea allways)
* Vegetable crackers (the ordenary are much more better!)
* Beef Snack
* Beef Frankfurters
* a.s.o.

But my favorit snack is: Nacho Cheese Pretzels

No1!!!!!!!

I'm ok with the clam chowder - especially when I have crackers and tobasco sauce I can put in there. The only thing that bothers me is that the clams taste a little rubbery and I'm always afraid I'm going to get a case of bad clams and die. But other than that, it's good. :-)

As for other parts I don't fancy:

Cherry-blueberry cobbler - yuck...not a cherry fan
Vegetable Manicotti - shape/texture is just "wrong"
Chicken Fajita - don't like the chicken squares and to much sauce - messy to eat!
Almond-Poppyseed Pound Cake - I didn't much like the first one of these I ate and I *definitely* didn't like the 50th one either. Why is this the only pound cake I ever seem to get?

I don't like the minestrone or the pasta with vegetables. Most things I like. If anyone has a blueberry/cherry cobbler they hate- I love them - send them my way!

I didn't care for the chicken fajitas, that name is deceptive. Putting something on a tortilla doesn't make it a fajita.

Most everything else I've had has been okay, CCC isn't my fav, but I like the flavor, not the texture.

I haven't had a pound cake I don't like yet. Matter of fact I like all the deserts. It's what I think retort packing should be about.

I'm not the biggest fan of the salsa they use, but it's not terrible either.

I pretty much like everything except CCC and Clam Chowder.
I do keep my eyes on the horizon when eating tho....

I'm sure if I looked at the meal, there would be more of them I don't like.....

Clam chowder, molasses cookie, jalapeno cheese and the almond cake would be on my don't like list. To be fair though, the chowder is actually ok if good and hot with some chunks of bread.

I noticed the red cinnamon imperials mentioned above - I love 'em!

Oh, and dairy shakes I don't even count as an item, just disposable packaging.

dairy shakes, worst thing I have had in a MRE, just couldn't get it to disolve spent 20 minutes trying then it was the most sickly thing I had ever tasted, two mouthfulls and I felt ill.

The Cherry-blueberry cobbler is amazing, if anyone doesnt like them I will glady buy them from you, I wish they would put them in the Uk 24 hour, instead of the treacle pudding or fruit dumplings with custard.

I'd gladly trade you all my Cherry Blueberry Cobblers for that treacle pudding!
