This is awesome. We got beef stew, chicken fajita, veggie manicotti, and veggie burger. Spencer has chosen the veggie burger and the girl wants the manicotti, for dinner tonight.

MRE's are a significant improvement from the past. I like most of the newer ones, they are edible and a few are pretty good.

I always liked the Extreme cold weather ones (the ones in white bags).
The oatmeal was a tasty, fulling breakfast and the calorie count goes up a bit over the regular ones. MRE's are expensive things though. I get mine from Fort Bliss and a friendly quartermaster. I keep a case on my truck for emergency rations at all times. My last case was eaten by a student on the sly so I never noticed until I unpacked the truck and found the now-empty box.

Those were the best, but you got two white bags for each meal issue because you needed more calories, I think they had 3400c if you ate the two bags.

I never thought about it before... would severe allergies make someone unfit for service?

Maybe not unfit for service but it may limit deployment opportunities.

Omg zip, the kids had so much fun with these. The wanted to go outside and find a "rock or something" to prop them up on even.... got totally into the spirit of the situation.
Ripley said the manicotti was fine... fine to eat... but she won't eat it again. She loved everything else, especially the hot chocolate and the peanut butter and crackers. The boy loved the veggie burger, said he wouldn't even have guessed it was veggie (I guess that means it doesn't taste like a Garden Burger brand). He also got a chocolate banana muffin top and fruit punch. Srsly, they were like kids at christmas opening and enjoying these things. Thanks so much Zip. I'll let you know how round 2 goes with the beef stew and chicken fajita... stay tuned.

I didn't, I'm sorry. I thought I would but was just too picky/weird about food when push came to shove.
I might try the beef stew. I can't promise I'll try, but I'll try to try... [/bart]

So where did you get them, Zip? It says commercial resale is prohibited.
