I've heard that a new MRE component is being manufactured, but there seems to be limited information about it. Here's what I've found so far:
Pocket Food (Includes a picture)
And an older item that discusses the matter at:
The second article mentions GoodMark Foods Inc., which has been acquired by ConAgra.
Anyway, I'm curious - has anyone come across such things? Who is the contractor that produces the components? How do they taste? Is there a viable (and legal) source?
Yours for culinary excellence,

Looks like one of those sandwiches that are famous in Nebraska...Runzas?
I guess it does, doesn't it? But I suspect the MERC is more akin to the "hot pocket" than anything else...
This has been a long term effort, I hope it is paying off.
Food for thought is this stirring promotional effort by the makers,
"She said the shelf-stable sandwiches were acceptable to soldiers who tried them, and they meet Food and Drug Administration requirements for food safety."
Kinda makes you think the first series won't be delightful.
Gad! The manufacturers are damning with faint praise!
Still, thanks for the comment!
I don't know, the square beans and franks were pretty good. Spaghetti was all right too.
You guys hear about this?
Ping.
The freeze dried pork patties were excellent. So were the freeze dried hamburger patties.
Ugh, did you neglect the /S tag?
Bump for the Saturday evening crew...
