I wonder, do the Canadian MRE's come with snow cones?

Just the syrup/mix for the snow cone, due to obvious packaging restrictions. In an arid region the directions simply indicate that you make a so called 'sandcone'. Nom nom nom.

MREs = Meals Rejected by Ethiopians

If you eat *anything* from a limited menu twice a day for several months it becomes nightmarish.

I love pasta, but nothing put me off it more than an entire pay month eating it for my evening meal every single day when I was a *really* poor student as opposed to a moderately poor student. I tried various cheap things on it:

Tabasco and butter (good)
Butter and raisens (good)
Ketchup (awful)
Cheddar cheese (good)
Jam (not so good)

Arn't they also packed with sugar and incredbily nutritionally unbalanced, so you get sick if you eat them for too long? From what I've been told by various people the British 24 hour ration boxes are much better than 3 MREs.

Rat packs are tasty Some people say they also don't like the powder/chemical used as a reactant to make the meal heat itself up (in the MREs).

well of course they taste horrible when you have to eat the same thing only two times a day for 60 days. anyways MREs are pretty good just to have for whenever.

the cheese crackers, ive always loved them (get them from my dad when he got back early from the field when i was little) it's great though my dad runs most of the cooks, so when they get back from the field if they have left over stuff he usually brings it back. which you know doesn't sound that great. but as said if you are poor like in college, its great to bring back to your dorm, either MREs or breakfast bars and things like that.

and poor recipes, i get used to PB&J for lunch, spaghetti sauce in a can is really cheap. and im still trying to figure out if spaghetti noodles are cheaper then top ramen. i just know ramen is really unhealthy.

I remember back when I was in Cadets they gave us some old Ration packs from the 1990s, complete with spicy baked beans (from all the preservative) and tobasco sauce that could kill leeches.

I've heard french MRE's are pretty good. come with little bottles of red and white wine.
