Soldiers know there's a reason every MRE packet has a bottle of Tabasco Sauce inside. Ever had instant coffee using water warmed on the engine block of a HumVee?

How about Turkey with Savory Vegetables?

Freeze-dried beef stew?
It may look like it, but we ain't talkin' no Dinty Moore, here! Shucks, freeze-drying anything is about the worst way there is to prepare palatable food! The Tabasco is required to fool the troops into thinking they're getting real food!
