This isn't for real is it? I mean if it's true, yes he is a butthole and I forsee a long future of dateless Saturday nights.
YUMMMMM....MRE poundcake with a peanut butter layer, decorated with MRE M&Ms.
The mere mention of those dehydrated pork patties and chicken ala king make my stomach cringe. Oh the memories of not being able to go to the bathroom for a week or so after a couple of days of MRE's in the field...
Handy Tip to the Author: Chicks with extreme gastric distress usually aren't interested in wild fun. Try Asian take-out and some good sake.
He served the MREs on china plates, so he must have learned *something* from the AF ;)
ROFLOL! Thanks!
This is the website that Frank Rodgers orginally posted it on. Pretty funny stories.

That spicy cheese spread they put in a lot of them isn't bad, but I find most MRE stuff kind of bland. Even the "spicy" things like Chili-Mac is just a lot of chili powder.
But I know quite a few people who really dig MREs and eat them even when there are plenty of other things available.
Add a little of Darks coffee and you'd have quite an evening.
ping!
I know a bad idea when I see one, and THAT is a mssively bad idea.
Sounds like a plan.
Why is your coffee notorious?
I once was accused of making notorious coffee, so I want to compare notes.
Double brewed for that full bodied taste.
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it's a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse 'medium roast' that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn't age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
One thing not mentioned was that they did use non-dairy creamer.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that's me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don't forget the salt, it's important to the finished brew.
While eating, I happened to look a the date on the C-ration case cover. It was 1945. I was eating a chicken that had died before I was born.
hey! LOL
