Here are 2 bags of unopened Meals Ready-To-Eat, military rations from WWII. One is Menu #3, Chicken Stew with Accessory Packet B. The other is Menu #6, Chicken a la King with Accessory Packet A. They are not intended or recommended for consumption.
I don't even know where to begin...

Yeah, I mean come on! Clearly they are from the Spanish American War. What a joker.
BTW, I tried the chicken ala king from circa '89 about a year ago. He's right, it wasn't intended for human consumption.

Cool...another brave Chicken-ala-King taste tester. I read something a while back about quality control problems with that particular MRE (back in the early 90s). For some reason, the nickname "Chicken-ala-Death" stuck in my mind. I finally tried one from 1992 and it wasn't so bad. And I didn't get sick at all!

I love MRE's from WW2. I have a couple of K-rations from 1863 I'd like to sell, if anyone is interested. They have sugar, coffee and Tatawnka jerky like the Dances with Wolves LT. John Dunbar had, in his case of C-rations.

I sent that retard an email. You guys should do the same thing. Nothing would make a dumbass feel like a dumbass more than getting 100 emails laughing at his stupidity.

I checked the linked ebay page and he has at least changed the description from WWII to "vintage." Vintage being probably early 90's late 80's. He may not even know what he had because based on the other stuff he was selling, he's not really into militaria all that much.

He knows. I gave him an education and a link to this site.
