http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/38268129/ns/today-foodwine/?gt1=43001 I can see a market for this, especially in this area with hurricane season upon us. Why not??? Probably better than an MRE. :lol:
As I recall, MREs were two lies for the price of one: never a meal, never ready to eat. Also called "Meals Refused by Everyone" and a host of others. Of course, I had the first iterations of them, following my beloved B-3 unit of C-rations: Ham & Eggs, Beans and baby cranks, Beef with Shrapnel... Yet, if you're hungry enough..you'll eat.
:ack: DH of course had some when he was active duty and we ordered some for disaster prep, but I've never actually eaten one.
I ate a couple of varieties about 20-25 years ago. I hope they've gotten better. :ack: That being said, if you're hungry enough.....
While I haven't had an MRE since 1993 the ones I did have while in the field weren't too bad, and based on the menus they have now they are probably pretty tasty. http://www.mreinfo.com/us/mre/mre-menus.html A menu list by year.
Laughed when I read this, gcoats. Daddy said he'd rather eat the plants and bugs he did. He said those were a delicacy compared to the MREs back then and into the early 1970s. Sandwiches in a can....I'd rather eat beanie weenies. I took cans of beanie weenies and other items with me to Russia/Ukraine. After eating so many potatoes I pulled a can out and they were wonderful. Glad they make those pull tops in today's world. Sherry
