Used them for 25 years

and have watched them develop over the years. Mostly hunting or fishing. And like Miles states didn't eat the whole thing for sure. I always liked the chicken meals whether it be "ala king" or some kind of chicken casserole.
I always have one or two in the pickup truck along with a blanket and coffee making stuff for when I'm snowed in a traffic jam or something.

One thing neat about an MRE is that they are like a "Pig in the Poke" You don't now what your getting and sometimes yours surprised and say "Dang that was good"
(Sometimes that is).

They are filling. I usually get mine at Hillsville Va. flea market as surplus and eventually throw some away before they are used up as I can never figure out the date codes on the dirty things

The whole thing adds too much weight and bulk to my kit while hunting so I open theme and pick out what I like and leave the rest.

The crackers and peanut butter or OK. The cheese spread will flavor the crackers to make them go down better.

I ate one at the house I'm building last Saturday. Didn't feel like wasting time at McDonalds. It was "Cheese Tortellini" and wasn't bad but it was in the truck for several years and then again I'm the type that eats Sardines at work while everyone else is chomping down on good food so I call it sustenance.
