about: Meals Ready to Eat (MRE's)
Question: What is inside an MRE?
Today, my choice was Beef Brisket, There are several choices from Chicken & Dumplins to Pasta! MRE MENU: I've seen soldiers almost come to blows over MRE's... Especially the ones with M&M's in them!!! (My Favorite)
Cheese & Crackers.. My favorite is PeanutButter & Crackers, I was not that lucky today... 2 Crackers: 180 Calories
Cheese Spread: 180 Calories
Also included in todays MRE:Biscuit: 250 Calories ~ Cookie with Chocolate Discs 280 Calories & 2 Tootsie Rolls
Calories: 210 + 25 if you add the BBQ Sauce..
It also included a "Meal Heater"
I will admit it does not look like much, Yet, it was scrumcious, Especially after I heated it up!
Another Question was: "Is it as good as Airline Food" ~ I guess that would depend on the airline, huh?
You can turn your nose up if you like, I will tell you, When you are hungry it's Good FOOD! Bon Appetit & HOOAH!

I used to love when my dad brought MREs home from the field. Then when I was in ROTC and had to live off them during a 4-day FTX I realized how awful they are.
Still, I suppose they're better than many alternatives....
Thanks for the Comment, John..
My son still loves when I bring him home an MRE...
I watched today, during lunch ... It looked like a High Stake Poker game,,, "I'll trade you my Cappuccino drink mix for your Lemon Pound Cake",,
It was a Hoot!
I think MRE's have improved alot since when I came in, In 1986...
Looks like the menu has come a long way. MMM pound cake! I remember when they first started putting those in MRE's.
