#3  Seriously, several of these expressed a desire for chaw or cigarettes? Do they still do that?


Nope, not since the C-rations. The health Nazis would have a conniption fit if it were even suggested.

#2  The comments are a laff riot:

This meal should be fiesta breakfast party. That would be funny.

Someone didn't like it though.
"fiesta breakfast" was about as much of a fiesta as a full bodies dry heave. You're killin' me smalls.
Sounds British.

The way it turned my mouth blue flooded my mind with childhood memories, and for a slight moment, I was at peace!
Franklin Foer to the white courtesy phone, please.

This was a rough meal! Don't make it look like flat poop.
Words to live by.

I noticed this meal # is 666 I will probably die of a massive heart attack thank you for feeding me possessed food.

Maybe change the name "chicken loaf" scares me.
Our brave fighting men!

Put ranch dressing on everything! Airborne!

The pudding is the schnitzel.
Does this require translation?

Cig, chew, liquor
You want we should throw in a dame, too?

#1  The comments on the MRE's are priceless. Classic american soldier, giving his (relatively) honest evaluation.

Some of the entrees you have to ask "what were they thinking?" Stuffed Cabbage? Chicken loaf? Some of the menu ideas are clearly heading toward Chiken ala King or Tuna with Noodles territory. Blargh!
