#2 LMAO. Care packages are always great. But honestly after having C-Rats, I have to admit that MREs, at least the generations since about 2000, are pretty good. (Al;though I did miss being able to cook the cans on an engine manifold).
But when they first came out? No. Freeze dried pork patty that turned into gray mush (tho the freeze dried strawberries were good without rehydration), and the stupidity of a main dish with beans for an Army aviation unit. Try going up to 5000 AGL in a helicopter and having the gas in the beans kick in - it was a fart-a-thon, hence the open doors. Those were reserved for the FNGs as a bit of introduction to flight and "nutrition". Bonus was the heaters - you can do fun things with those. |
