Beef Stew with lots of hot sauce is serviceable. It’s not good, but it’s not as bad as a veggie omelette.

Well, since we aren't in the NATO there is a kind of a desire too keep a defence force strong enough to be an inconvenience in case something goes down. And speaking of idiots, during the Occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968 the commander of a Finnish coastal fort was informed of 63 ships approaching from Kronstadt. He was given a wink-wink-nudge-nudge order not to put the four 152mm coastal guns in his battery ready to fire. As some of the conscripts of the fort were on a weekend leave he had the wives of the garrisons permanent members help carry ammunition to the guns (at 50 kilograms each) and was prepared to open fire when the squadron changed course and sailed away. On a separate occasion in the same year the Finnish president was on a visit to a Soviet destroyer which kept approaching too close to an another Finnish fort and the commander there gave orders to prepare his guns for action. The visit had been agreed beforehand, but no-one had told the commander of the fort. The message did reach him in time to stop him from giving the order to fire, but that was an another case of information being held up in wrong places.

I went with Beef stew. Instead of Tabasco I went with Red Devil hot sauce. More vinegar in Red Devil I swear Beef stew might be addictive. It is two steps better than Dinty More Goop. Anyone remember the awful Tuna thing. Blech

Conversely, the straight-up tuna MRE (with the packets of Starkist tuna) are my favorite because it's impossible to gently caress up packaged tuna. I've never successfully been able to use the little tortillas without snapping them in half, so I just sprinkle tabasco and the flavor packet into the tuna pouch and use the broken tortillas to scoop it out like naan.

Spaghetti is a Pro move. So is Ravioli. The old cheeseburger one was good, but I still miss some of the old ones from when I first came in- Jamaican Pork Chop wasn't great, but it was a nice change of pace. Beef Stew, Beef Frankfurters were good.

Shooting Blanks posted:How on Earth do they screw up Frankfurters? We used to call them The Four Fingers Of Death. You would have to guzzle at least one canteen of water per Frankenfurter. I am trying to think of something that has a similar consistency, but I am totally unable to come up with anything that matches even close. Imagine if Play Dough was 10 times as dense as it normally is, but not hardened. Now fill it with wood shavings and make it very salty. Sprinkle some bits of fat that are about as hard as tire rubber and small enough to get in between every single tooth in your mouth. People would open their vegetarian meal going "at least I didn't get the four fingers"

Menu F of the Combat Ration (One Man) was the best one we had. Beef Teriyaki and Vegetable Curry. The worst was G, Chili Con Carne and Lamb with Rosemary, because no oval office in Australia knows poo poo about dick when it comes to Chili, and the Lamb with Rosemary was always a gelatinous mess. The pack came with two types of powdered drink, Beverage Powder (I) and Beverage Powder (II). You would never drink the first one unless your water supply was suspect, because it was flavoured water purification powder, and it tasted like vaguely-lemony blood.

I actually ate the four fingers of death aka hotdogs. I was backpacking and found a black garbage bag hanging in a tree. It had 3 very early MRE's in it. It was left over from a forest fire a few years ago where they helicoptered in some early MRE's to the wildland firefighters. I ate them. Free food I was poor as poo poo back then. Thanks Forest Service and the Military. I have the flu and that is what compelled me to eat an MRE I had rattling around in my Death Valley kit. I did not want to cook. If you goons want to visit Death Valley NP contact me. I love that park. I can point you towards where to go depending on how much time you have to spend.

Jambalaya was legit and the veggie bean burrito was surprisingly inoffensive once you got through the rubbery inner wrapper that they called a tortilla.

Most of the Tomato based pasta's are OK if I use some Tabasco. Cheese Tortellini that is you. Spaghetti and Beef Stew are the ones that stand out throughout the years as great. I have not had many of the deserts lately because they are scarce but that really rich Brownie was good. Jalapeno cheese and the normal cheese is pretty good on saltines but what the hell is going on with the Bacon cheese. Bacon cheese is salty very salty. The new sandwiches are not so great.

Just thinking about Pork with Rice in Barbecue Sauce gives me heartburn more than 25 years later. It also had this really strong awful smell which practically guaranteed some rear end in a top hat would open one up in a confined space like the back of a truck or something. I think it came with Charms and loving Apple Jelly to make it suck even more. This was also when meals didn’t come with heaters.

My best guess without being able to actually find the ingredients list is that the bacon is like the bacon bits you find at the store- soy protein with artificial flavoring like liquid smoke. The cheap versions of those artificial flavorings can be absurdly salty, like ramen flavor packet level salty.

I was in when that poo poo was first issued and if you didn't rehydrate the gently caress out of them, they would absorb every ounce of water in your body and never give it back. Also, I stand by my belief that the Chocolate Covered Brownie was a candle from Pier 1 that somehow snuck itself on to the menu.
