  1. John says:

    My favourite IMP is Meatloaf with onion sauce. But I’ve always just used them as a starting point at making something that is more than eatible.

  2. Mike T says:

    Dehydrated pork patty.

  3. Jesse says:

    Oatmeal mix in just about anything.

  4. Chris says:

    Chili Mac and jalapeno cheese mixed with crushed up MRE crackers topped off with tabasco. Boom…

  5. Brandon says:

    My favourite ration is the Veggie Burger from MREs

  6. J.L. says:

    MRE “bread” is what’s up.

  7. JW Patterson says:

    The old beef patty MREs. While dehydrated it was like eating beef jerky…yummy

  8. Jon says:

    Seconding the PB&J, doesn’t get much better than that.

  9. Justin says:

    Hot chocolate. Although I have made many friends with melted brie cheese and brown sugar on top of french bread.

  10. Jake says:

    Peanut butter and anything + coffee

  11. Biltong or jerky. Various animals.

  12. Adrian says:

    My favorite MRE is the Chicken Breast meal. Its the easiest to eat on the go and you don’t have to screw with any of the meal items.

  13. jj says:

    Can’t choose much, so the meatballs are the way to go.

  14. AE says:

    King Oscar Two Layer sardines.

  15. Arthur says:

    The Chile Mac MRE I loved the Shit out of that. I had my little stash of them on my Stryker.

  16. DAn says:

    Peanut butter and Jelly or chicken noodle soup are my preferred comfort foods when camping/hiking.

  17. Don says:

    Beef Jerky and Clif Bars

  18. Nick says:

    Chilimac MRE… lots of hot sauce.

  19. Don H says:

    Beef jerky and trail mix.

  20. Ben says:

    MRE Meatballs

  21. Frank the Tank says:

    Beef jerky

  22. Myer says:

    Coffee, lots of coffee

  23. John says:

    I like the vegetarian MRE’s opposed to the normal ones. Which is to say, I don’t like either type. Penne Paste would probably get my vote.

  24. Nick The Brit says:

    Favorite MRE (when I have to eat them) is Tuna – I generally carry 2 or 3 packs of tuna in my ruck just in case.

  25. Fred says:

    Spaghetti MRE… well, it was when there was still cheese sauce in it. Last one I had didn’t and I was pissed. Heat that shit up and squirt it in the main course, and it’s awesome; especially at Ft. McCoy in February.

  26. Austin says:

    I live on Cliff Bars when I’m out in the field, and I always have some chilli-mac and peanut butter handy.

  27. steven r says:

    MRE Spaghetti, with the whole tabasco in it.

  28. Bubba Kingfloat says:

    Clif Mojo bars and Via coffee. That is, when I’m in “the field” 😉

  29. Mike T says:

    Dehydrated Pork Patty

  30. William says:

    Pork rib meat.

  31. Brad says:

    Omelet with Ham!

  32. Wulfi says:

    The new Danish Field Ration, with freeze-dried breakfast and dinner is the balls!
    Good for field exercises as well as for hiking :o)

  33. Levi says:

    Mountain house.

  34. Holger says:

    Air-dried French Salami and bread. If it has to be Military I’d choose the German MRE Cookies. They’re called Panzerplatten – Tank armour – for a reason!

  35. Andy says:

    Chili Mac MRE and instant coffee

  36. SGT Rock says:

    Backpacker meals, because for years they’ve tasted better than MRE’s and are lighter to carry as well.

  37. Rich275 says:

    My favorite ration was the cold weather, breakfast MRE from the early 90’s. GREAT strawberry oatmeal!

  38. Bryan G says:

    Mountain house

  39. steve says:

    British 24-hr Ration

  40. Clayton says:

    Coffee and homemade jerky

  41. Al says:

    Vegimite

  42. Eric says:

    My favorite MRE is Chicken Penne Pasta.

  43. Palehorse1 says:

    Ham slice with an applesauce pack. Always kept my coffee and cream to trade for those two.

  44. Jason Welin says:

    Used to love the Shepard’s Pie in the Canadian IMP’s.

  45. Dave says:

    I like the mountain house meals!

  46. ben lewis says:

    Looks like I’m not the only one to ratf$#& the chilimac mre’s

  47. Bob M says:

    Love me some instant oatmeal.

  48. Peter says:

    Home made trail mix. You can’t beat it for quick energy and it tastes great!

    Thanks for puttin this on!

    Peter

  49. Lew says:

    To be honest nothing beats smoked/dried meat, some dehydrated vegetables, a boullion cube and some rice. Boil it up and you’re good to go.
    If time is short Drytech makes good stuff, I especially like their beef stew.

  50. John B says:

    MRE’s taste pretty damn good when I am really hungry!
