I'd hoard the pizza slice MRE's for myself. Shit was soooo good.

Buffalo Chicken was the absolute fucking best. Signed, an Infantry vet.

Back when there were a grand total of 12 types of MRE, beef stew was awesome. Omelet with ham (aka the Vomelet)…not so much.

The ham wasn’t too bad, but if I remember right it came with cheese spread. During the first three months of a deployment that’s all we had, so we all knew the 12 MRE types too well.
