I ate some MREs I got at a yard sale probably 15 yrs ago. Ate them then. Ok, but nothing to write home about. I think they were Vietnam era.
They came out in the 80s.
We ate the last C-rats and first MREs in Germany.
I preferred the C-rats.

Oh no, that would be Beau Geste The CrusadesBon chance
I’ve got to slow down when I peruse thread titles. ‘About to eat a 10 year old…..’.
Don't matter if you're an old lady...all that matters is that "they" want to come and take your shit.Shooter, I'm now in rural Iowa. Do you really think people are going to be shooting at an old lady?
Just ate green beans we canned in quart mason jars in 1997 last night ,they were delicious! Not kiddingHad some home canned black eyed peas from 2008 tonight does that count? Lol
Well an after action report is due... Are you still alive?
I recall someone here remarking about a ten year old femaleI’ve got to slow down when I peruse thread titles. ‘About to eat a 10 year old…..’.
Raisins, Smelled fine tasted fine for about 5 seconds. Spit those out, weird taste. Definitely spoiled.
We have a few boxes, along with back packing type meals. I'm sure they have gluten in them. No-go for me too, unless I want to spend the next three days curled up in a fetal position with pain. Better off going hungry. Keto and fasting are good training. I can function hungry just fine.I bartered/gave away all of my MREs when I moved to Iowa and won't be replacing them. The damage they do to my digestive system just isn't worth it. I was stopped up for nearly five days, and I'll leave it at that.
In a SHTF situation, I need to be able to function.
Gotta clean my glasses:
My first read was "About to eat a ten-year-old mare".
Nummy!
I see "about to eat a 10 year old mare" everything I see this thread.
MRE's did not exist, when I was in the US Navy back in the mid 1970's.
I remember on one trip, the weather got so bad, 45 degree rolls,
that nothing could be cooked in the galley. However, there were C-rations.
The box that I got, had dates of 1943 stamped on them. There was TP,
and Chesterfield cigs, and some John Waynes to open the cans.
Ham and eggs, biscuits, instant coffee, and chewing gum.
Traded various parts of the C-rations with my shipmates,
and there was even book matches, that still worked,
so I smoked the Chesterfield cigs.
I have never eaten an MRE, and I have heard from several who have
eaten both C-rations and MRE's, that the C-rations tasted better.
In either case, you need some Tabasco or Texas Pete hot sauce.
Yep, them were the days.
Please be safe everyone.
Regards to all.

What is the best place to get (new) MREs these days? Anyone have favorites? Thanks!
