So my question for you guys is: now that I am involved with MREs, you guys only eat them the way soldiers do in the field or do you cook 'em at home and add what you have in the fridge/cupboards?
I eat my MRE's or any othe ration straight up...that means cold. Yes I use the heaters from time to time but is a hazzle.
Even at home I eat them cold,ocassionally I "pimp" them a little or nuke them.....
I assume in a real combat situation and your hungry there is no time to fumble with the heaters unless you're in a "secured area".
Those pictures of Spam remind me of something. This summer I went to Ontario to visit some family and friends. I had dinner with my mom's brother and his wife. When I got there, he'd already eaten and I was going to have lasagna with Aunt Elza. I said to Harold, "You having soem lasagna with us?" He said, "I wouldn't eat something like that. You have no idea whats in it." I said, "What did you have for dinner?"
now that I think about it I cannot recall any cases of soldiers in my unit being sickened by milk in the field, except when they drank it instead of water on hot days.
