That makes me an adventurous eater as well...LOL!
Now you know why they call me...DIRTYDAVE!

That....that...is so right. I know where your comming from. Older women are nicer, but um like Dave i'm def not up for any MRE that isn't in a tan bag.

Was the case sealed and banded when you got it? If not, it sounds like he just mixed and matched whatever MREs he had to make a full case. But that's ok - it sounds like you got some fairly recent ones. I still haven't tried the Sloppy Joe MRE yet.

I'd recommend:
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Beef Enchiladas
Chicken w/Noodles
Beef Stew
In that order. But that's just my personal preference. Of all those MREs, Beef Stew has been in the MRE menus since 1981 and Spaghetti is the second longest-running (1988). I would have recommended you try Beef Stew first but then you would have had the Chocolate Sports Bar as part of your first MRE and that's just cruel.

Or, I suppose you could do it the "Army way" - close your eyes, reach into the box, and just pick an MRE. Whatever you pick, that's what's you eat. Even if it is the Vegetable Manicotti.
