Do you *have* to drink the coffee/chew gum in US MRE's if you don't want the MRE to stay in you forever? I've heard...stories :ohdear:

You're mentioned a couple times that they sell these at the stores on base. Why is gods name would anyone buy and eat these if they had the ability to cook and eat real food?

Maybe if they like to go hiking or something? :shrug:

The Ukranian ration seemed like it might have been way less foul cooked on a stove instead of microwaved. All that grease would let you fry it up sort of like fried spam instead of just eating it warm.

Like the bacon cube looked like it was raw bacon that was intended to be cooked like normal till it was crispy and browned instead of just warmed and eaten.

It's like the canned Hormel corned beef hash, it's just salt, fat and meat. It's...Edible when cold, Tolerable when nuked in the microwave (wheres the goddamned hot sauce!), and Damned Tasty when it's fried until crispy.

You really can't go too wrong with salty fat if you can just get it hot enough.
