That's why it's always a good idea to store a case of MREs around the house.
MRE stands for Meals, Ready to Eat, which is what the American military calls their field rations. They replaced the hard-hitting C-rations in 1980 and have undergone continual improvement to meet the needs to soldiers.
It's a complicated problem... in order for military personnel to perform at their best, they need to have satisfying, nutritionally complete meals. Even if the meals contain all the necessary ingredients, but are unappetizing, the field personnel will soon get weary of eating them.
I've tasted a few of the Canadian army ration packs and some of them were goo-oo-od. Mmmm, cherries. Mmmm, cabbage rolls.
The site MREinfo has a great breakdown on military rations in America and the rest of the world, with reviews and suggestions for use!
I'll admit it - I just like the idea of having a crate of these at home, as an easy way to prepare for camping trips. Fun!
So, go ahead. Instead of cooking tonight, let's rip off the top of some military rations and have ourselves a good outdoor meal by the campfire.
