I suppose there's more than a few of you guys who have eaten the newer MRE's either in the service or have just tried them. Most seem to have a heater with them, so the idea of a self-contained hot meal in a pouch vs a cool sammy sounds really good. They're about $7 a piece for an assorted case on Amazon, so not too pricey.

Comments?

Thanks,
Charlie

give me the cool sammy

Seven bucks for a MRE? I'll take a ham sammich.

I am old. What is this sammy you speak of?

I spent more than 25 years on active duty. i don't care is I ever eat another MRE. Give me a couple P&J tortilla wraps and I'm good for the day and I kept that $7 in my pocket.

I like this, with a G aide.

Falcon, your photo brought a tear to my eye. My 19 year old daughter who has passed away, took that exact meal every time we were in the deer stand together. Good memories together.

Things would have to get pretty darn bad for me to eat another MRE for free, much less for $7.

I usually take a ham & cheese samich wrap in foil toast on the buddy heater, crackers, nuts maybe apple and coffee. Take packet of hot chocolate heat up on heater. Don't forget some cookies.

I'm old too...Sammy = Sandwich I think...
Bet these young guys don't know what hang down & cheese is...

Sorry Charlie, $7 is too much. I'll eat pb&j first, samich when fishing works well.

I'll never eat another MRE as long as I live

I wouldn't eat an MRE if they paid me $7. Maybe $70........;

Had that for breakfast. Axis summer sausage and a block of sharp cheddar.

Keep in mind an MRE is designed to be eaten with a full canteen of water or they'll plug you up.

I've done it, but my MRE's are free, my daughter has a stack of them in her room from ROTC.

Better than this. I got to eat all the c-rats that dogcatcher left behind.

I ate those too maybe thats why I'm not so fussy about MRE's.
The thing that I can't do is go camping in a tent.

Looking back I don't think I've ever ate while in a blind, that's the last thing I wanted to smell like.

That one in particular was called the A Shau 2 step.

Ok boys, going to share this one more time....

Sausage balls.... make them before you leave home, put 4-8 in each baggie, or one big baggie and one little baggie per hunt.... bisquick, sausage, cheese.... they'll keep for a week or so in a backpack, very good

Also good warmed on a knife over a heater or fire if you have to have them hot...

It was also called something else...
Ham and (word to get banned by)


They really were bad . No one wanted to draw that box.

Properly fixed these are actually edible. Heat the can of beans and "mothers" add a can of cheese spread, touch of Tabasco sauce or a couple of the local's peppers. When the cheese is melted and stirred in, serve with crushed crackers. The 3 ingredients by themselves were awful, but combined and heated a decent meal

My food in the blind are dried snacks. I mix up a container of Cheerios, mixed nuts, Wheat Chex, Rice Chex and fill zip bags to carry to the blind.
