Whats your favorite MRE?

For anyone in the military, you know what Im talkin about. I just had an FTX this weekend and ate 7 or 8 MRE's. (meals ready to eat) for those who dont know, the entree is on the package but the rest is a mystery. Its like Christmas morning when you open that tan plasic bag to find out what goodies you get with your chicken w/ thai sauce, or bean and rice burrito.

My personal favorite is beef stew, vegetable crackers w/ jalapeno cheese spread, spiced apples, cookies w/ pan coated chocolate dics (M&M's), and chocolate dairy milkshake. Other good entrees are pork rib, turkey/mashed taters n gravy, and beefsteak n mushrooms.

Each one has around 2000 calories and I had 4 on saturday. 8000 cals never tasted so good.

mmmmmmmmmm, weve made sumthin like that in the field. Its all about trading and gettin your fav stuff. This time we took all the coffee, creamers, sugars, and cappaccino packs, with one hot coccoa pack, and made a mega brew sun morning. It was strong as hell.

take the creamer and add it to the sugar packet, take a lighter to it and it turns into a sugar cookie. Other than that I would have to say chili mac is my fav.

I love MRE's how many calories are in those things? Seems like I read somewhere that one MRE a day could sustain a soldier in the field.

One MRE has about 2000 calories. Thats enough for one day but I would think most soldiers would eat at least 2 spread out thru the day.

Rocomended for ectomorhs that say they cant gain weight!
