    Default What is your least favorite MRE entre item?

    Just curious what people think is the worst MRE entre that they have had.

    So far from what i am hearing form active duty soldiers, a majority of them hate the pizza MREs, What would you put on your list of MREs that you hate or dislike?

    There are those who like/love them.

    I don't like any of the ones i've had.

    But,

    If MREs are what's for dinner,... you eat it and stfu while you eat it...

    I don't care for MREs. I'll eat them if I have to I just don't want to have to.

    Not a lot of experience with MRE's. The ones that I have had were fine. Like Old GI, most of my experience is with C-Rations. My favorite part of the C-Rations were the Luck Strikes and Chicklets.

    Bout 10 years ago I had the pleasure of a Chicken Feta mre. I haven't had an mre since and the smell of or just the mention of the word feta makes me gag a little bit.

    Aflineman...I have to comment on your signature. It's a motto to remember but, in my experience, being prepared is always inconvenient, but being unprepared can be deadly.

    True enough, my final home is still out there, but this is most certainly my home range and I love it. I love every rock I fall off and tree I trip over. Even when I am close to dying from exhaustion, a beautiful sunset doesn't lose it's power to refresh and inspire me and that, in itself, is enough to save me sometimes.

    I haven't had an MRE I couldn't handle. Not the best, but palatable at least. My issue with MRE's isn't eating them, it the getting rid of them once I eat them. They really outta include a roll of toilet paper with each MRE!

    Lmao Natertot


    I actually never had a C-ration before, and recently bought a SoS brand type from Amazon... but calories are calories even if they taste like !@#$, and I doubt anything is as bad as my belated mothers cooking... She burnt hot dogs cooked in water...

    I haven't tried the SoS ones from Amazon. Do a review of them when you get them in! I understand that last part. I've known some who could burn the water itself!

    With C-rats, the trick is knowing which ones to eat and which are best used to feed ammo to a M60.

    I wrote the Kool-Aid corporation about how we missed Kool-Aid; they sent the store display. LOL
    My favorite was the SPs or Sundry packages.
    What I remember was cartons of cigarettes, writing paper, envelopes, and ball point pens. Also there was soap, shaving cream, razors and razor blades, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
