MRE’s are not delicious. But they’re healthy, and it’s what we feed our own soldiers when they’re away from base.

They come in many varieties, many flavors, but according to Daniel Jackson (Stargate SG-1), they all taste like chicken.

Many moons ago, we had some Army guys at the hotel who had to unass at a ridiculous hour in the morning to catch a flight straight to the Middle East. One of them had about a dozen Chili Mac MREs that he had to get rid of since he couldn’t take them on the flight and offered them to me. May not have been gourmet meals, but they were pretty damn good and made excellent lunches for work.
