Don't think I've heard of that one...

I'm using my computer's spare resources to help find cures for diseases, analyze astronomical data, render 3D animations, simulate new materials and run climate models--what is your computer doing?

Sorry, I corrected it.

The first to bring you the MRE pizza stone.

Never had any MREs while on active duty (74-78, 81-98). Have bought a couple of MREs and TOTMs to try. Have a TOTM in the kitchen cabinet - chicken and vegetables.
Our commissary still sells single TOTMs and cases of TOTMS but haven't seen any MREs for sale in a while.

You're welcome. Nah, have no need for MREs. I just got the TOTM for kicks, might get one to take to my step-grandson next month. Thanks anyway.

Thought I'd refresh my old question here to see if anyone had something else to add. Hope this thread grows some more.

I really like the asian beef strips and veggies (minus that so-called fried rice). The beef had a taste and texture that doesn't seem processed. All freeze dried mains from MCWs/LRPs..except the spaghetti, has zero flavor to me. Chix/tomato/feta is packed with flavor. Man what else? The cornbread loaf lol is awesome! Chocolates chip toaster pastries are definitely not pop tarts and I really enjoy them. The crackers have long needed an overhaul..or at least get them back to the 80s flavor.

Easily in my opinion the Pork rib was my favorite but some of the newer entrees sound pretty good, but I have never tried them. Need to grab a couple cases of these newer MRE's for sure!
"Nice!"
