MRE reviews

[Groundman One]

Not sure if anyone has seen these videos already, but they're pretty neat. I was looking at some curry recipes on Youtube and saw one of these in the video list below. The guy tries out and reviews MREs from different countries. Makes for an an interesting cultural tour.

I'll post one or two, but you should check out the guy's channel.

I loved the chicken ala King mre’s from the Vietnam era.

Buritto Bowl.

They sure have gotten fancy. They weren't too bad about 10-15 years ago though.

I heard that the WW2 k-rations were still being eaten into the 70’s. I know the Vietnam MRE’s were still edible in the 90’s.

I never ate the WW2 k-rations but ate c-rations dated 1952 in the mid 1970's. Really didn't taste any different than the newer ones. The older ones had bread in a can rather than crackers.

My favorite was the corned beef hash. The little tobacco helped too. Yum. The worst was that fricken omelet. I hated getting stuck with the damn omelet.

donate your belly to science of you like the hash, blech...

gimme some tuna casserole or the cavatelli and sauce LOL... and yes, to heck with the omelet, no amount of tobasco would help that.

In the 50s I tried the WW2 K Rations.

Kinda between Play Doh and crayons.......without the better flavors of either one.

Gents the MRE's didn't come out till the 80's. Vietnam era was the C-rations (tin cans).
I'd warm my MRE's on the exhaust plenum of my M1A1 tank...Full agreement that the Omelet wasn't edible no matter how much tabasco was used. MRE heaters made some interesting "bombs" when you filled 20 oz bottles.
