I know that MREs are known for being disgusting, but I actually like them.
Which one do you think is the best?
Not who you asked but I'm pretty partial to the chili Mac, especially if you got some hot sauce to drizzle on it! It's the one I look for first whenever we're given some to choose from!
They used to come with little Tabasco bottles in them. I had little bottles of Tabasco all over the kitchen for a while after leaving the Army. Do they not come with that anymore?
I can picture that tiny Tabasco bottle clearly ๐. It was a godsend in basic training (for any MRE that came with them) I'm not sure if I had a new iteration of the chili mac or what, but when I was quarantined in 2020, mine came with crushed red pepper instead. I know for a fact I've had it with the Tabasco too though.
Those little bottles were awesome!
They aren't bad. They do fuck up my digestive tract something awful. I prefer the officer's mess.
Our drill sergeants taught us that you have to use the Kool-Aid mix, as that has something in it to counteract the digestive issues. Idk if that's true or not, but I never had digestive issues because of an MRE, and I always used the Kool-Aid packet.
We didn't really go over MREs in Navy boot. I doubt the RDCs would have bothered telling us that tidbit of information, since there's really no reason a sailor should be eating those things. I just got curious and bought a few from the Army/Navy surplus stores. I never drank more than a taste or two of the Kool aid packet. Those things aren't exactly tasty, kinda medicinal aftertaste in my opinion.
Maybe it's true then.
