What is the best tasting MRE? For me it's chili mac or spinach alfredo

[Anonymous No.14488182]

I foresee a pic related thread.

[Anonymous No.14488190]

Honestly, I've watched more MRE videos than I've had actual changes to try them. Not really sure where to get them, aside from amazon.

Military surplus store if your area has one

For backpacking any kind of meat red sauce pasta rehydrates pretty well. Lasagna, spaghetti, chili mac...etc all taste pretty similar but good.

The chili mac will balloon tents with farts so be warned

[Anonymous No.14488419]

chili mac with a packet of jalapeno cheese mixed in

[Anonymous No.14488538]

top tier
>any dense, tomato heavy dish (spaghetti, ravioli etc)
>meatballs in marinara
>shredded beef in bbq sauce
>chili mac
>chicken pesto pasta

mid tier
>veggie crumbles
>mexican chicken stew
>tuna / chicken chunked

ratfuck and trade if you can
>anything with "patty" in it, all of them are fucking godawful
>asian style beef strips (the rice is awful)
>chicken noodle soup

[Anonymous No.14488922]

>rehydrates pretty well

hey look at this retard thinks MREs need to be re-hydrated

[Anonymous No.14489898]

It was too good for this world.

[Anonymous No.14490041]

the tetrizinni was the best

Bump

[Anonymous No.14491182]

In order;
Any cold weather mre
Hashbrowns potatoes is a pretty good all around meal
Pizza mre -entree is pretty good, lackluster sides.
I don't hate the asian style beef strips like most people

veggie crumbles, asian style beef, tortellini, and any patty meal are what's usually left in the box if you're late for chow

[Anonymous No.14491280]

These meals make me fart so much that a potential enemy can spot me from miles away, especially in the mountains because of the echoes.

[Anonymous No.14491316]

It has been almost a decade since I was in the military but my favorite MREs were the chicken fajita, tuna, and pork rib.

Also vegetable crackers with japaleno cheese is a top tier snack. Seriously better than any snack I could get in the civilian world, but i have never tried to replicate the taste.

[Anonymous No.14491330]

>>14491316

Oh yeah, also with the pork rib you gotta slather it in BBQ sauce and two slices of bread for a nice pork sandwich.

[Anonymous No.14491380]

>>14488419
I forget, does chili mac also come with veggie crackers? I love the chili with beans when you mix in the crackers and cheese and the corn bread is hands down the best MRE baked good.

[Anonymous No.14491405]

>>14488173
I'd love to say menu 1 chili with beans, but I would kill for it to have the jalapeno cheese instead of the regular cheddar.
>>14491280
Spetsnaz are known to undergo training to triangulate fart echoes.
>>14491380
Yeah, menu 10 has veg crackers and that jalapeno cheese.

[Anonymous No.14491429]

MRE, what they give the burger grunts for at a price less than what prisoners get their meals for. Looks like dog food but tastes many times worse why would you want to eat this gunk?

[Anonymous No.14491441]

>>14491429
Most armed forces have MREs, retarded SEAmonkey. This thread isn't just about US ones. I'm rather partial to the shortening biscuits you get in Russian frogpacks.

[Anonymous No.14491443]

>>14491429
Because it's shelf stable and can last for years. You only eat it when real food isn't available. Outside of the military it's a fun novelty and until recently they were cheap to buy surplus. Used to be able to get a case of 12 for like $70 or a double case for less than $120.

[Anonymous No.14491451]

>>14491429
Some are genuinely good, and they're perfect for backpacking or camping. Sorry we aren't all basement dwellers, anon.

[Anonymous No.14491461]

>>14491451
Eh, they were perfect when they were cheap. $130+ for a case of 2016's? Fuck that. May as well buy mountain house if you're gonna pay that much.

If americans being fatasses were a true problem then they would relax the requirements and put fatasses in a different boot camp. I mean, hell, this was already the case when I joined back in 2007. Overweight kids got put in a platoon specifically for them and their only goal was to lose enough weight to get moved to normal training.

Vomelette

[Anonymous No.14491492]

>>14489043
The vomlette is not worth mentioning, merely invoking its name is cursed.

[Anonymous No.14492135]

>>14489898
i have one of these in my closet

[Anonymous No.14492567]

Crush up the crackers and add some jalapeño cheese and this is god tier. Tuna and the chicken pesto were solid too

[Anonymous No.14494315]

Any Polish MRE that contains Bigos
>bigos gets better with time, usually tastes best on the second and third day after cooking, you can't really let it sit for longer because it will spoil obviously
>now imagine a bigos that was pasteurised in a can and gained taste for several months, and was already god tier in the beginning, because if anything Poles know how to make their bigos right
>fucking DIVINE

[Anonymous No.14494340]

The one I would always try to snatch was Beef Stew.
There's a Mexican rice one thats pretty good too and so is the brisket but beef stew was king.

[Anonymous No.14494359]

>>14488922
Type one or none! Type one or none!

[Anonymous No.14494374]

The beef stew was good. Mix in the cheese, crackers and hot sauce. I was a savage though and would eat the four fingers of death cold.

Best tasting MREs by a country mile is Southwest Beef and Beans and Buffalo Chicken, also all CWMREs are superior in every facet.

[Anonymous No.14494578]

>>14494413
>Southwest Beef and Black Beans
These were so great. The cappuccino that came with it definitely fit the meal to my surprise. It was always my go to when I had the chance to dig for MRE's. I think it came with pound cake too, didn't it?
