MRE's are "Meals Ready to Eat".

I actually prefer the old C-rats... You ever have the omelette?....what they do to eggs is just unholy... still, I ate 'em all the time, cuz that's about all my Marines left me...that and the pork patty...in SWA, they told us not to eat the chicken a la king cuz they were contaminated... man, I was in heaven eatin all the CAK's that everyone was throwin' away...crumble your crackers into eat...cheese spread too if yuh got it, and tabasco...lots of tobasco...

They've gone overboard on the sugar/candy/carbs in the latest versions, to appeal to the taste of the over-sugared youth...ain't enuff real food or meat in 'em anymore for me...don't get me wrong...MREs are great if you're in the field and starvin', but they'll never even come close to "home cookin'"...

I'd love to eat chow that RMD cooks up, but I gotta feeling that the MREin' process would make it taste like soggy cardboard...

Well, in that case, you can never go wrong with venison jerky!

Man, I love jerky. I ate about a half-pound of venison jerky last year after my best friend's brother came back from hunting. The best stomach ache I ever earned!!!
