MREs for me

My God man, why? Get that woman in the mirror behind you taking the picture in the kitchen
.
The reason why is because I've never experienced an MRE. I almost experienced an MRE during SERE back in 1988...but that MRE was found opened in the dirt covered with ants...I almost ate it but chickened out. So...since 1988 I've always wondered about MREs...and thanks to @ChuckMK23, I have now experienced an MRE.My God man, why? Get that woman in the mirror behind you taking the picture in the kitchen
I'm a huge fan of MRE's - and generally keep 4-5 cases in stock at the house. @mad dog 's meal was a 2014 produced Menu 8. The last year of the powdered dairy milk shake 
at 1200 calories, they are very efficient, ridiculously shelf stable for 5+ years, and convenient - if not bland. Canadian IMP's put MRE's to shame - and the various NATO country 24 hour ration packs are a delight - to see what's possible. (Pork liver patte in the French 24 hour pack).
The mac-daddy deluxe of US rations are the 24 hour "First Strike" ration packs - a full 4,000 calories for three meals of food you can eat on the run. These are hard - but not impossible to find.

You're a sick man Chuck.

Hey at least they got rid of the "Four Fingers of Death" from the 80s. The MRE menu has improved from the days of "Meals Rejected by the Enemy."
I like the Chili-Mac, Spicy Penne pasta, Cheese tortellini and Ravioli MREs. I've never had the chance to try the First Strike Rations (FSR).

I got a kick out of this post, Chuck. I'm an older bachelor and this is dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow and dinner tomorrow night. An 8 piece fried chicken family meal from Giant Eagle . Actually it's the tastiest fried chicken in our area.No I am just a middle aged bachelor

Only because Watsons closed.

I mean...some do actually taste OK...but I can't imagine anything that could appear less appetizing that doesn't involve too many legs or the food still being alive in some way.
I guess it could be OK if you're on a diet.
