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.

Dehydrated pork patty.
Jesse says:

Oatmeal mix in just about anything.

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

MRE “bread” is what’s up.
JW Patterson says:

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

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

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

Peanut butter and anything + coffee
Nic Jenzen-Jones says:

Biltong or jerky. Various animals.

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.
jj says:

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

King Oscar Two Layer sardines.

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

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

Coffee, lots of coffee

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.
Nick The Brit says:

January 4, 2012 at 18:33

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.
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.
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.
steven r says:

MRE Spaghetti, with the whole tabasco in it.

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

Mountain house.
Holger says:

January 4, 2012 at 18:42

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!
Andy says:

January 4, 2012 at 18:43

Chili Mac MRE and instant coffee
SGT Rock says:

January 4, 2012 at 18:43

Backpacker meals, because for years they’ve tasted better than MRE’s and are lighter to carry as well.
Rich275 says:

January 4, 2012 at 18:43

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

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

Thanks for puttin this on!

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.
John B says:

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