The new ones can be pretty tasty. The first ones from the mid 80s are what earned them the nicknames "Meals Rejected by Ethiopians" and "Meals, Rarely Edible." The pork patties and dehydrated fruit coctail were especially disgusting. In a cruel twist, the Army packed the only good thing in the MRE line, applesauce, in with the pork patties. The coffee was also undrinkable, a brown powder in a brown paper pouch, best consumed as a shot followed by some water from your canteen.
You didn’t get the MRE’s with the Starbucks Instant?
