A Delicious Meal, Maybe.

So when we were out at the farp we had a lot of MRE's to eat. I have received some questions about MRE's before so I thought that this would be a perfect time to take some pictures and do a post about the wonderful thing that is a Meal Ready to Eat.

MRE's come in several different menu's with this particular one be meal #17 sloppy joe.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the entire contents of this package. From the top left to right is the MRE bag; baked snack crackers(also known as Cheeze-its); Orange beverage powder(gator-aide); a beverage bag for coffee or the beverage powder; cheese spread with jalapeno's; a spoon; wheat bread(more like cardboard); a heater to eat up your food; the sloppy joe(in a bag in the box); a condiments bag with things like a wet wipe, salt, Tabasco sauce, coffee, matches, and chicklet gum; and another wheat bread.

To eat up your meal you pour a little bit of water into the green bag and stick the meal in then wait about 10 minutes and it will be warm enough to choke down.

Here is the completed meal. Looks delicious doesn't it? No it doesn't I know.

If you're lucky you may get a meal that has M&M's or Skittles in it. Of course everyone knows which meal's those are in so you gotta be quick to get those ones when it's meal time in the field.
