Re: 1067 If these MRE's are or are like the freeze dried stuff used for camping the spaghetti and meat sauce is good, too. It's my kids favorite when they go backpacking.
The folks that make the MREs have made strenuous efforts to improve them; troops get questionnaires, the ones that are disliked are dropped from production and new meals introduced.
They'll never be Mom's cooking but by all reports, for what they are, they're decent, and some of the meals and items are really quite good.

Mre's are more like biol in the nag meals, that you supposedly can choke down without even heating them, hence Meals, Ready to Eat. There's a chemical heat pack, add water, shove it in the nag, wait ten, presto hot meals.
I use freezedried myself, the MREs are too heavy to carry a lot of them.
