After watching a bit of MRE Steve I think the USA consistently has the tastiest looking, high calorie MRE's. It makes sense since the US is constantly at war so they actually use these things all the time, probably get back lots of feedback on what is good and what isn't good etc..

Seen some decent ones from Asia and Europe, but they usually seem to be lacking calories. Especially the European ones. Often times they just shove random packaged crackers and biscuits in there.

French and Italian MREs consistently mog the field, precisely because they pack commercial stuff rather than come up with their own stuff made by food industry rejects. US MREs instantly got better by outsourcing their snack items as well

Depends how you define "best". With MREs, going purely by taste is a totally different beast than a judgement that balances logistal concerns among other things. Some militaries have menus that are fairly high end civilian canned food + mass produces junk food and they taste excellent ofc.

They get rancid very quickly though. MRE reviewers have noted that they almost invariably go bad after about 2 years.

French & Spanish are both pretty good. Surprisingly, so are Russian rations in their various forms but the self life on them is comparatively short. Modern Brit stuff is shit, they used to be by far the best but the more modern menus are just don't work. US MREs are amusing in terms of choice, and there are some really good items, but some terrible ones too.

While six-toed cats aren't the most common, they aren't some obscure thing that almost never occurs. They're called polydactyl cats, or Hemmingway cats. And yeah there's some association with Ernest Hemmingway from what I understand. He was quite fond of them, and his home and museum has free-roaming cats that express the gene most of the time, and they bury six-toed cats that die locally on his property.

Kenny the tiger. Died of an aggressive form of skin cancer at the age of 10. Result of forced inbreeding in attempts to create and sell rare animals.

Did 4 years in the infantry, American Mres are pretty solid when you learn how to prep them correctly. Essentially just add cheese and crackers to every main and it’s a solid meal. Chicken with noodles was by far the best. The most popular one people fought over was tuna. Some things were just inedible tho like the wheat snack bread, cheese and veggie omelette, and the vegetable manicotti. Like I said they’re pretty good when you learn the all the little tricks. The ones the afghan soldiers got were phenomenal also

I liked the vomelet. Maybe it's because my sense of smell is a little dull or maybe I'm just used to overcooked eggs. If I had a choice between that and runny powdered eggs, I would most likely chose the vomelet.

Yeah they got a few things, one was a chicken curry and rice that was in a self heating box that was fantastic, and they had another mre which were similarly packaged like ours that had a bunch of higher end snacks like bagel chips, big brand cereals, nature valley bars etc that also came with a curry and rice dish. We took their stuff when ever we got the chance, they mostly bough all their food from the locals. Our squads would rotate night shifts at the afghan police check points because we had night optics and they would always cool for us, was usually rice, chicken or goat, potatoes, onions, and naan bread, it was really good. They usually are better than we did

Custom production lines aren't worthwhile unless you use a lot of rations per year.
Using foreign sourced components leaves you vulnerable during war and disruptions in shipping.
If they use local foods they subsidize industries at home, are independent from others and those factories are proven to be capable of much higher production during war time.
