Anyone remember the dreaded pork patty and beef patty? Freeze dried meat like substance. Ugh. Rehydration couldn't save those. Perhaps tons of Tabasco but the original MRE's didn't have Tabasco...

The only good part about those was you could have an entire combat load of pork patty MREs and it was only half the weight of the other meals. Remember biting off the part of the dried fruit and then mixing it with water in your mouth? Those were the days!

SPC Kevin Ford - I think the freeze dried version would've been better on the eyes. Looking at a jell laden turd with nowhere near enough Tabasco to help it was worse. Now tell the youngsters we ate these without a heater and see what they say.

SSG Warren Swan Dear gods what is that? Is that really to be taken internally? On looks alone, I would guess that the Play Doh would taste better.

These are newer. The ones I had in the 90's.......the Zombies would give them back, and ask to be killed again.

The new ones, post 9/11 are pretty good. Hell you can pay big money for a survival kit or keep your new MRE's. The old dark brown bag MRE's = Epic Fail. Other than the dried fruit, that was damn good, hence they quit making it.
