forgot to take pictures when eating the chilli mac from 2007

the crackers was real good,used civi peanut butter since the old mre butter
tasted sharp.

the peaches was nice,But the chicken stew smelled vomit

so bad that my wife gave me a warning!!! next bad ration and you
sleep in the garage

hope she was just kidding

hope you fellow ration addicts enjoy

last time I saw a meal like your chicken stew, it was not moving from the bowl into my mouth but rather in the opposite way

You are a real brave viking

Real brave indeed....

byt the way I agree with Olli, first time w/o a hat.....

Looking at the condition of the crackers and chocolate disks is true what my USMC friend told me that those C-rats have a loooonng lifespan.....

Ive got a 1991 chicken stew. You got me worried now, especially my 1991 ham and egg

I still think the mighty can is better than the retort pouch. Seeing a 78 C ration being eaten doesnt "shock" anymore

but I cant see a 31 year old MRE holding up in any of its items.
You are the bravest ration eater here Norge.

Great review of vintage US rations, thanks!

I’m a little bit surprised that the Peanut Butter is not edible any more

, usually it lasts to eternity, knead the pouch and it is ok!?

That sounds bad

, but the appearance as I could see in the photo is ok, isn’t it?

So long mreheater72
