no, unless they changed them
I have to ask -- are you being forced to eat "Meals Rejected by (starving) Ethiopeans"? or is this some sort of consulting test procedure development gig? wheel chocks maybe? |

I know MRE are just about everywhere, but I have never had one. I don't plan to ever need one.

If that's the fruit serving you hate, that's the one you'll get.
When I went through basic, we ate C rats out on the obsticle course. I got a tin of fruit cake. I hate fruit cake That's also the day I got my lifetime supply of P38's.

MREs are what, 2200-2500 calories? Don't eat too many!

1300, but it seems most of that is the carbohydrate enhanced apple sauce

MREInfo.com - Home. Everything you could possibly want to know about them.
I have about 10 cases of them.

Any recommendations on MRE or something of the sorts that heats itself - is the food quality in them any good or does it get old pretty fast?
I tried a sample pack from Welcome to eFoodsDirect - Emergency Food Supply > Freeze Dried Food, Survival Food Storage and it's decent - but one needs a stove.

I ate them for 4 straight months in 2003 and still lost weight. Of course I was wearing armor 12-14 hours per day, summer IRQ heat, stress. They never bothered me; was glad to be eating.

They had mixed fruit, pear slices, and apple sauce in the seventies.
used to make a quick stove out of a small can with some holes punched in the sides and a chunk of C4 snagged from a doner claymore. Real hot fire! Cheers Richard |

Military MREs have a water activated heater pouch that works quick and HOT! Just add water. I spent 20 days with the US Marines in Korea years ago and was exposed to MREs - too many calories for old computer geeks like me
 For someone really hungry they are great.

If they're anything like ours they'll bind you up big time.
Back in the day I had to live on them for weeks on end. Tinned cheese and bully beef, lots of hard biscuits and sugar packets. The chocolate was hard and had a white coating on it!  If we were on exercise's with the Yanks we'd swap stuff just to make it more interesting. Lots of sugary products in the US ones. That was good because you needed that quick burn fuel. Your GIs loved our "Bully beef".
