When they first came out in the 80s...
they were downright awful. Dried pork and beef patties that were the same consistency as dog food, with little packets of dehydrated ketchup. They got better in a hurry after the rear-echelon people had to eat them when they deployed for Desert Shield/Desert Storm. IIRC that's about when they started putting in the little bottles of Tabasco as well.
