They're decent. They're usually hit or miss with what there is to eat, although I've had my eyes light up like it's Christmas morning when I got the kippered beef. However, beef patty cold is...ugh.Jark212 said:

Okay, to be fair, I've noticed the omelet packs have some of the best accessory snacks, like M&Ms and dairy shakes (Although those are being recalled right now. Fan-damn-tastic.).Darth Pope said:

They're usually more expensive (and unhealthy/not nutritious) than just buying the ingedients cheap.
Buying a readymade microwave pizza costs more and delivers less than a simple rissotto or ratatouille

Yes, I have never had one, but I have friend who have, and they say some are very good, while some are utter shit. Like regular food.
Oddly enough, my friend and I were talking about this not too long ago. Anyway, I don't understand the negativity and misconceptions towards MREs. They're not bad and I had to eat them a lot while in the army.
If you've ever eaten cold beans, spaghettios or whatever, and you didn't mind it, you'll probably like MRE's. I haven't had them since being out of the army, but I would go back to them if the situation called for it. Meh.

You should never EVER eat MRE's as a regular diet, not unless you want to be a massive fatass. MRE's have around 1300 calories each. They are made for soldiers out in the field, not for people on a budget.
If you're out camping, sure, why not? But if you are chilling at home, have some ramen instead.

Good for hiking, biking, camping or anything else that doesn't give you a chance of eating anything else. Otherwise, the prices of these are too high to eat them on a daily basis + too caloric for my sit-on-my-ass lifestyle, I would get fat pretty quickly.
Still I'd like to try one or two, the contents sound interesting + no cleaning afterwards.

I had one of those once, it was turkey I believe. It had some very tasty pumpkin pound cake. I would buy these for meals, I mean I'm always too lazy to cook a real meal so I usually eat a hot-pocket or something, I think these would be much better though.
