    Default A modest Idea

    I am going to invest in some MREs. I have a problem though. I'm allergic bell peppers. LOTS of the menu choices in MREs contain bell peppers. I want to suggest an MRE exchange with WSF members. You see I e-mailed several of the MRE manufacturers and NOT ONE is willing to make me a case that is sans the items with bell peppers.
    So anyone up for an MRE exchange?
    We can work out the specifics aftyer we see the interest.

    HA,
    Here's a site that sells the MRE entrées, side dishes, desserts, drinks and accessory packets individually. You can make your own as you would like it.

    My local Military Surplus store is awsome. The guy that owns it will take me in the back and open every case he has to get me the specific meals I want.

    I like the beef enchilada meal the best; I'll take as many as he has. The chicken and dumplings meal is pretty good too and it doesn't have bell peppers in it.

    HA - These guys offer MREs by the case. 12 of the same meals. You can also choose a half case of the same meals to save some bucks. You can choose which meals you want rather than have a case or half case of mixed meals. You can also click on the meal and see what the ingredients are to avoid the peppers.

    Just scroll down to see the choices.

    "Hello"

    Hello, I'm calling to order the 582 MRE cases pack.

    (pause)

    Hello.

    "Hello"

    Yes, I would like to place an order for the 582 cases pack.

    (Pause) "O.K."

    "That'll be $36,398.28 plus shipping" "Will that be all" ?

    Well no. No green peppers please.

    Speaking of green peppers. They give me the gas. It's a good thing I don't stink.

    Nothing smells better than peppers and onions cooking.

    Mailing around MRE's can get a little spendy. As others have suggested, you may want to order from a place where you can pick and choose. I have ordered from these folks in the past and been happy with their service. http://www.longlifefood.com/

    Thanks guys for the info. The companies I e-mailed were the biggest suppliers with the cheapest prices. I guess the discount was due to no customer service.

    Wonder if that place in Evansville that makes MRE's would be willing to work with you on that?

    Allergic to green peppers. I am sorry. That is almost not worth living through. I guess it could be worse. You could be allergic to cheese, or chocolate, or (gasp) bacon.

    Doug that's the first company I contacted. All they were willing to do was include a list of all ingredients so I'd know which ones not to eat.
