I think that MRE chili is as good as any major name brand canned Chili available at the market.
For a Military mass produced combat meal it is a good product. I add the cheese packet in after heating it up. It really adds some body.
I think the corn bread is a little to sweet, but that has advantages for other meals.
You can eat the hot corn bread for breakfast with Jam and coffee. With a cheese pact It does for a mid morning snack.
These type MREs are eaten in one meal most of the time. But if you had to this meal could be two. A light breakfast and main meal later.
Thanks for watching the video, and thanks for your comments.
As for the corn bread, for being a shelf stable product, it is incredibly tasty, & a good match for the chili once incorporated into it, as the chili tends to run a little on the runny side, making it quite messy to eat while in the field straight out of the pouch.
Incorporating the corn bread into the chili while in the pouch would definitely thicken it up and make it stick to your ribs a little better, as for the Ranger bar, it was quite a unique taste experience, if there wasn't a discernible base flavor in the bar, as you would get with a granola bar or a first strike bar.
The chili in of itself is very very tasty, it has the right amount of spices and textures that one would look for in a chilli, a good proportion of meat to beans, and is quite comparable, if not better, than most commercially available chilis on the market today.
