I always throught they were a bad idea because they were so bulky, you couldn't pack more then a couple of days worth in your ruck.

Terrible terrible food.

I heard that American Marine issued MRE are so terrible that marines consider them to be chemical warfare devices.
I liked the MRE's but it might be a case of different from IMP's. Little baby bottles of Tabasco, hell yeah!

You didn't field strip you rations?

Forgot about Natto . . . . I had that in Japan not knowing what it was; fermented bean curd is just terrible. Sometimes when you to a convenience store they have rice balls stuffed with meat and ginger. However if the packaging isn't clear enough, it sometimes has Natto in it, and getting a huge bite of it is . . . Just tragic.

Yup, saw a lot of those in my China trip as well. They probably ran it through a pirated google translate. The funniest ones were the ones where they basically translate the chinese characters into their pinyin spelling thinking that, by turning characters into alphabets, it turns it into English.

Wife bought a bag of Lays one of the new possible flavors. They are disgusting, threw them out Grilled Cheese and Ketchup.
I think i would rather eat Chicken feet, Gopher piss and Blood Pudding.

After we got out of basic sure. But you got watched with a hairy eyeball to make sure that you ate everything that you got.

There was a ton of trading that happened but if you were the sap that got one of the really gross ones, corned beef hash. Ham and cheese omelette, or the boiled steak cubes you were completely stuck with it.

I remember that there was always the rumor that the officers got issued a different package with good food in it.

The only thing worse to be honest was on long plane trips and bus rides you got the boxed lunch with the sandwiches that I swear came out of a gas station vending machine, and the military generic version of a juice box.

Army mess food and field mess food was decent and you always got a ton of it because of the amount of energy that you burned in the field especially in winter ex's with the major portion being potatoes.

I also remember on the last night of our basic field excercise after a month sitting in the field that they bought in raw steak for us and let us grill them, of course it was the army in the late 80's budget crunch so the steak was actually beef from the rejected parts of the cow.

Have you ever tried the old canned hard tack that the military used in Korea? Canned meat, don't know what kind of meat it was but it was meat with no expiry date. When we did a nuclear attack readiness test in the bomb shelter under a southern alberta college that I won't name we found of a pallet of the stuff and decided to try it out.

I can ascertain it was meat, from what animal and what part I don't know.

Actually one more thing about the MRE packets, the best one bar none hands down was the beans and weiners in a bag.

You I think are talking about IMP's, not MRE's.

People ask me if I miss anything about the Army. Hell yeah the food, the fresh rats. I loved the food. You are willing to give me as much food as I want. As a 17 yr old bottomless pit bring it on. Loved it.

Box lunches were a dare, I have yet to meet anyone that could ID the meat in those sandwiches.

Also, Expired Starburst. Found an old backpack in the basement when cleaning. In the front pocket was some old starburst (who knows how many years it's been in there, maybe 3-7 years.) so me, my bro and sister for some idiotic reason decided that starburst can't expire right? Unwrapped it, looked fine and felt fine so in the mouth they went. At first it tasted just like normal starburst, but then slowly they started to taste like fart, then it just tasted like puke. Suffice to say we bolted towards our own garbage cans and needed a good mouth rinsing. Now we know, expired Starburst contains a hidden barf flavoured centre.

We Asians love spam. Growing up as a kid, I had ate a ton of it. My mom would fry it with eggs. It tastes awesome in a sandwich.
