The last batch of MREs that I had, I was not pleased with. I had a box each of 2017 A&B menus. A few of the entrees were downright disgusting (anything Asian style), most were merely palatable (so many looked and tasted alike) and a couple were actually good tasting. I found the accessory paks and sides a lot more palatable and I take those item along when car-camping. I don't know if it was menu update or too much emphasis on southern or Mexican flavours, but I am staying well away from MREs in the future. They aren't worth importing, IMHO.

However, if I could get a hold of some IMPs, those I could eat anytime as they are far more palatable. They are not nearly as available on EBay though and sourcing local is difficult. There is also a new brand of freeze dried meals made in Quebec (Happy Yak) that has been getting very good reviews that I want to try out.
