hey /ck/ammandoes
Im a soldier and we eat these mres alot. I normally dont heat them up because i dont have time. Some of them are good(spaghetti) but some of them taste like absolute SHIT (the chilimac mre).
So I was wondering if anybody has some tips on how to make mres taste batter?

Keep in mind the only ingredients i have available to add to it are 40 packets of salt(i save them), pepper, 5 bottles of tobasco sauce, and water.

>pic related, its the alpha tier spaghetti mre

>> No.3987170

Tabasco and pepper. As much as you can spare/handle. Tabasco has salt in it, so you probably won't need to add extra salt.

I tried that. I had chicken and dumplings mre and i poured an entire bottle of tobasco sauce in it and it did not taste good at all. I also pour pepper on the flatbread but it does not taste good,

>> No.3987187

>>3987156
Tabasco? Thats why they give you a mini bottle of Tabasco in the MRE's, it makes them edible. I inherited about 100 MRE's from family members after hurricane Ike and I ate the fuck out of them because I was in college. Hot sauce helps.

>> No.3987192

>>3987179

Well, I don't know what else to tell you. Try to find any extra ingredients you can and experiment. PB&J with the flatbread. Anything salty or savory to add to the main meals to mask whatever flavors you're not liking.

>instant heaters available always

You're full of shit, hero. I did 10 years in the Army, 8 of those years were in the Infantry. When the heaters first came out, they were always used. Why? Because it took a grand total of 15 seconds.

15 seconds to heat an MRE.

The op is a lying fucking pogue.

You're full of shit, nigger faggot. I did 11 years in the Navy, 12 of those years were on top of a submarine. When the parascopes first came out, they were always used. Why? Because it took a grand total of 15 seconds to shoot the fucking pirates.

15 seconds to light up a pirate.

shit man, if those are the only spices available to you, idk what to say :/ if you were able to get some sambal olek (god-tier, has garlic, additional chillies, some oil, etc) instead of tabasco (shit-tier) that might help a lot.

Where are you stationed? You legit might be able to forage for some yummy herbs or veges depending on your location, or deal with local food suppliers for some of their cheaper items. If all else fails, get someone you know to send you a bottle of dried rosemary, some garlic powder (or fresh garlic depending on local customs restrictions), CUMIN!!! defs cumin, and some thyme, sage, dried chillie flakes cocao powder, and chinese five-spice powder. Most of those are just things that can be kept safely in little baggies, if you're not worried about breaking shit, get them to send you some dark soy, kecap manis (like a sweeter, thicker soy), rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar, and anything else you can think of.

Mix some cumin, garlic, and chilli flakes with that chilimac shit, and I GUARANTEE it will taste better.

>pic is delicious spelt bread made from flour, water, and a handful of raisins over the course of a few days, just to show you how simple the ingredients in delicious food can be.

Hope I helped :)

I started my freshmen year of college at LSU the same year Hurricane Katrina and Rita hit they gave so many of these out and people didn't want to eat them because they were disgusting, so I horded all of them, lasted me three years.

Just use Tabasco and constantly add water as you chew, I usually used Tony's or Slap Ya Momma.
