I recall the first generation of MREs. To a man, we woulda rather had C's. The two dehydrated meat patties were horrid. The fruits, simply awful. Plus, howinthehell were we spozed to carry all the water and who had the time to rehydrate that crap. I used to live on candybars/beef jerky/cans of fruit.

I are enuf of them in the Sinai. I then avoided them where ever and when ever I could.
