I used to eat MREs when I was a Boy Scout. I thought the tiny Tabasco was the coolest thing in the world.

You can actually buy 6 packs of tiny Tabasco at some stores if you know where to look

Cheese Tortellini has Reese's Pieces 90% of the time. It also has a 75% chance of having hot sauce.

Cheese Tortellini best MRE.

If I get these from Amazon, is it essentially the same as the military version, or am I buying some kind of watered down, useless version?

Civilian rations are pretty nice and have a lot of the same stuff, but they're just not the same as the military ones, they dont have the same kind appeal.

This Video has some good info on how to get rations, both civilian and military.

Civilians are fascinated by MRE's. The idea of them is cooler than the reality of having to eat them on a long-term basis.

Why are these shits so expensive?
It's just garbage with long shelf life, just like all the cheap crap in the store. It's not nutritionally balanced, it doesn't require insane machinery to produce (freeze-dried sure but it's a one-time expense). Why can't they sell them at a reasonable price for people who's into trekking and autist fags who like single serving shit.

Chili Mac is the best. Get some of the Jalapeno Cheese and cook it with the Chili Mac.

Or i put that cheese with the spaghetti fucking god tier.

-small target audience
-target audience is willing to pay premium
-shit has to be proven to be edible for multiple years
-loads of expensive packaging, no cheap plastic
-they still add a shitload of stuff like vitamins

Realistically a better pack than the MRE, although not as fancy. See also the German packs.

>> No.8537715 [DELETED] 

I've got 4 MREs actually. Never tried one but they are still all in date I believe.

Got the following...

2 US ones
One is "Pork Sausage in Cream Gravy"
The other is is "Chicken Pesto Pasta"

1 Lithuanian one
Not sure what the fuck it is. It says "Sausasis Maisto Davinys"

1 Korean one
Also not sure what the fuck it says it's in Korean. It has a pack of "Korean Ginseng Granule Tea" attached to the front. It's significantly smaller and lighter I'm guessing it's rice and some other stuff.

I'll eat one tomorrow and do a live post. Which one should I try?

I would be very hesitant to eat the meat in MRE's honestly. I imagine it having an odd texture, probably dry and just a weird taste which is probably mitigated due to all the sauce/spice/salt

Lemon-lime drink packet is the best.

Is this a monthly thread now I mean fuck how many varieties of MREs and rough shit stories can there be?
