I feel like this would make a pretty good gang tag, but asking people to take a creamed meats. challenge seems way crueler than making mayonnaise.

I really like potted meat, but the only place I can get it is miles away and I don't even know if it's open with the covid. I probably could make it myself if I had a spare roast lying around but that's bloody expensive at the moment.

Like take the beefsteakand put it in with some Ramen made it serviceable. Some were certainly better than others.

Some MREs are pretty good. I had bought a bunch for an earthquake kit when I lived in an active zone and ate em all before I left. They're not gourmet food or anything but they aren't repulsive like PLA rations. The youtube dudes seem to think Japanese rations are generally the best but I've never been willing to pay that much to try one.

Remember Simply Sarah's Wanda's Macaroni Salad? While searching for that video to send to my brother (who overheard someone in a restaurant ask what a macaroni salad was... keep in mind that was in the midwest where everyone should be familiar with that) I found this video of someone actually making and trying it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UukWs94BPCM

The meals are on the same level as like a prepackaged "just throw it in the microwave" instant meal (depending on your country, they could literally be one) while the side stuff is just like mundane food like crackers and peanut butter. They're not cuisine, but they're fine. I sometimes take them for an all day or overnight hike if I can get them cheap, though real backpackers will (correctly) point out that they have a lot of avoidable water weight.

Me and my friends in middle school used to have Cold War era MREs suring sleepovers, not old given this was the late 80s. They were usually not bad, but we were dumbass kids at the time so who knows.

It's really asking to get some kind of food poisoning or parasite at some point. I think I've read some stuff about how nutritionally, we get more out of cooked food than raw, but you can make up for that with just more food. I can't really get my brain around just dealing with the slimy texture of just biting straight into uncooked meat though. Also unpasteurized food goes bad faster if you care at all about the logistics of your meals. But generally the point of weird diets is to be as inconvenient as possible.

Cured meat is very nice so I get the appeal, just seems weird to be obsessed with raw meat and "raw cheese" when cheese is basically cured milk solid.

As mentioned above it's just cheese made with unpasteurized milk. It's usually called raw milk cheese though, not raw cheese

Also as someone who didn't serve, I had heard that MREs were terrible and the joke was that MRE stood for "Meal, Rarely Edible." I had basically chalked it up to the fact that soldiers were probably eating them day in and day out and were just sick of them, because I had always liked them whenever I got my hands on them. Then again my family had a box of them in the 90's and we definitely had a bunch of those freeze dried fruit bars that MRE Steve gushes over. I've considered getting a box for my emergency kits, but they only have a listed shelf-life of 5 years. I did end up getting a couple 7 day (4 serving) kits of freeze dried food because it has a 25 year shelf-life so I can just stuff them under the sink and in my car's trunk and forget about it until I need it. Hell, I might still get a box of MREs, because they do look delicious at times.

MREs are engineered for a very specific use case, and they're never going to be the lightest, cheapest, or most delicious emergency rations.

For me growing up the MRE joke was "Meals Rejected by Ethiopians" which ... ok it's just terrible but also extremely evocative in the 80s/90s (And OF the 80s/90s come to think of it)
