I always liked MRE's. The newer ones anyway with the flameless heating bags. I'm assuming those come with the little flame heater who's name escapes me at the moment. After 2 months straight they leave something to be desired but hell... for what they are they're pretty good. And at 3000 calories a pop you only need to eat one a day.

I have some that are from 96. how long do they last?

[the Bamster]

mmmmmmmmmmm....................gorilla biscuits! For those not in the military it that time they were the chocolicious waxy brown covered cookie or concrete type substance that only a gorilla could eat. Beeeeeeeelieve me MRES have improved.......... nothing like passing that sinderblock after an extended stay in the field. They were suckolicious in 92 and I have no reason to believe they have improved with age. I have to admit there were a few in the case that wasnt half bad, the tobasco was a big help when it was introduced.

Wow... hardtack, forgot about that stuff. Got a chance to try it once at a recreation of a revolutionary war era army camp. I can't even really begin to quantify the taste of that. Seriously, how do you describe that? Regardless, I bet it wasn't too bad during that brutal winter at Valley Forge considering some didn't even have shoes.

army rations are designed to taste like puke. It helps develope and drive that "suck it up and drive on" mentality. You eat it because you need the calories, not because it tastes good.

If we wanted our food to taste good, we'd be the air force.
