What MREs would Veeky Forums recommend?

Kek. is that cause you have hella guns and knives and your little army surpluss uniform on.

Yes.

styx is that you?

whatever the military feeds me

You eat nothing but canned processed foods for months at a time and tell me your shitter is functional.

When I was in university I worked on several research projects involving MREs and got to talk to a LOT of soldiers about them during said research.

Roughly half of them swore that MREs contained a laxative additive to make sure that you didn't get constipated.

Roughly the other half swore that the opposite was true, and that MREs contained an "anti laxative" to make sure you didn't shit yourself when you were in the field.

Neither of those is true.

MREs suck, they're expensive and they're too heavy because the water is already in them

Also they will turn your ass into a miniature scale model of chernobyl

Fuck off pog

the homemade kind!

It's not.

But I loved it. Trade some tobasco bottles from all of the joes who want some sweets and dump it on the omelette.

It was great.

This smells rancid.
Lets try it.

Lemon popyseed pound cake

Steve 1989 is a soothing mother fucker. Dumb as shit, but soothing.

He should do a crossover with Report of the Week

chili mac is GOAT

RCW's are pretty nice imho.

The most exposure to MREs I had in my time (we managed to get hot food while deployed, but locals made them. They were cool guys though) was boot camp where we ate nothing but those for 3 days.
When we got back for the "Warrior's Breakfast" I ate half my plate and immediately went to take the driest shit I've ever taken in my life. No wiping needed at all. The entire time everyone banding on porta-potty doors begging for everyone to finish with a huge line after them.

It was magical.

This. Huge portions of stews and chowders. They look delicious.

its speculation, but people think they put shit in them so soldiers dont have to shit in the middle of a fight

>actually, I kind of like it

Brit MREs are up there with Israel as the complete fucking worst. Kill yourself.

>t. Mohammed al Mujahidin

if he was a muslim he'd love the brit MREs
the israeli one is legit the worst

1 can of kosher beef or chicken spam
4 cans of Tuna
1 can of halvah spread
1 can of chocolate halvah spread
1 can of sardines or another can of kosher beef or chicken spam
a can of pickles
a can of sweet corn
a can of olives or a can of nuts
pre-sweetened beverage powder
2 small packets of mustard
a small packet of ketchup
4 plastic spoons
folding can opener
small bag of hard candy
trash bags

But Steve-kun made it seem pretty tasty. Never had an MRE but his review made it seem pretty good, at least better than expired WW2 MREs.

steve makes everything look delicious, even the darkest of rot

there is a story about a unit in the IDF doing a field exercise and then returning to the city. They were made to eat mres for two weeks and a squad of guys were sick of it and wanted to go out. so they went to a pizza place and another fast food place and bought a bunch of shit. They all started eating then the grease hit their mre shitbrick and put all of them in the restaurants bathroom for two hours.

Given the choice (which you had), I'd rather take real food and nice bases than a shithole. Plus we get paid the same as the fuckheads dicking around our BXs.

>Known for their shit-tier cuisine
>Want us to believe they have the best MRE

Kek

Not sure if these are even still made. I haven't had an MRE in over.. 10 years. But these were fucking amazing when I was in service.

> mile high club

Ill post some that I saw great reviews and taste tests for on youtube. That doesnt mean they will be available for you.

...

Had plent of MREs in my life but the best ration Ive tried has to be either a Russian IRP or this French RCIR I got recently

Is it expensive to import them? Foreign manufacturers seem to produce better quality stuff than American.

xmres are fresh and pretty good.

Kind of on ebay it cost $45 plus $10 shipping to get it from Lithuania, but if you have the spare money and really want to give it a try I would say it is well worth it

The ones with the jalapeno cheese spread

How can you be sure it's safe to eat? How much do you trust strangers on Ebay with your food?

I trusted this person because they sent me a few photos beforehand of the same ration still in its original cellophane wrapping sealed, also guess I just tend to trust people too much sometimes plus I figured the chances of being poisoned by someone were pretty low/ didnt care either way

It's mostly down to the transition from a carb based diet like most Americans consume before joining the military to an oil based diet like what you find in MREs. Coupled with lots and lots of physical and strenuous exercise and you have recipe for shitter malfunction. It can go either direction as stated.

Though I would like to correct him on one point, as MREs do contain xylitol in the gum which functions as a very mild laxative. This is more to maintain average dental health than to make soldiers shit more often.

Military rations tend to get sealed air tight with all of their contents individually sealed (most European rations are canned of various sorts).

Sure, you can poison them if you want to spend the time injecting cyanide into a can of pate or something but it'll be obvious to close examination.

Also very damaging to your business once you get caught.

>British MREs

>his MRE doesn't even come with a little bottle of cordial to down as you retreat from the front lines

man i want one of thos little stoves there neat as fuck

In terms of per-calorie cost, are MREs cost effective to buy and eat once in a while?

Have fun flying that desk, nerd

At first I couldn't stand the way Steve talks but the more videos of his I watch the less it bothers me.

Now his perpetually upbeat attitude is oddly comforting.

Fuck no.

They're not even cost effective to buy as survival food unless you're getting a case for peanuts off of your local army base. These are meant for men in war. They're high in sodium and potassium because men in war need electrolytes.

As survival food almost anybody would be better off buying canned or freeze dried.

Beef brisket is what I like.
also, the potato soup was the tits.

Italian MREs are the best
they have wine

worst is egg omelet

best is a tossup between beef ravioli and chili mac

high-quality inserts are as follows:

chocolate peanut butter
reese's pieces
chocolate brownie
apple cinnamon pop tart

everything else that you get is mediocre or shit

you don't eat them for the taste

you eat them to get some passable chow in your stomach quickly so you can hurry the fuck up and wait to walk through the woods a little longer in extreme cold or heat

>Not putting jalapeno cheese on the list of best inters.
>Or the adorably tiny tabasco.
You and I aint niggas no more.

:^)

the best is by far the chicken with feta and tomatoes

...

Pound cake ftw

Look's like a basic "hexi" stove. You put a block of hexamine wax in the box and light it. Bretty gud

Would you dudes recommend MREs as meal replacements for a month?
