When deployed or in an ORI/ORE we eat these all the time. Favorite Chile and Beans,Beef Ravioli,Chicken Breast and Meatballs w/Marinara. Least liked anything with egg, an omelet should not look square and feel like cardboard.
If you think MRE's are bad you should have been around in the 60-70's.

Chicken and Salsa was my favorite. Granted I was surprised about the Vegan MRE's. Sometimes you didn't exactly have a choice over what to eat, and I ended up liking the vegan stuff.

I have been told the old C-Rations made MREs seem like gourmet meals. Must be true.

Ive had the tuna variety in Peshawar..pretty pathetic, compared to the absolutely wonderful desserts from the company in San Antonio, All stolen from supply trucks in Afghanistan, even got me an ACU with boots and oh.. my favorite find.. a battery from the predator.

the omelet MRE is gross.
my personal favorite is the meatball one.
meatloaf isnt bad either

Dont those things have like 6000 calories....? - just curious...

...anyway, Re: the C-Rats. A friend who served with "The Teams" in 'Nam told me that the Ham & Eggs C-Rats were known as "Ham-n-Mother$#^*ers!" Laughing

Brother's in the Israeli Paratroopers, he swears by this. Get a can of tuna (oil, not water packed), sprinkle a little garlic (salt, powder, fresh, whatever) on top, place a napkin over the can then the lid back on top of the napkin. Light the edge of the napkin and let it cook for 5-10 min. then eat.
