  42. Shinola says:

    Favorite MRE- Beef Ravioli. The first time I ate this one, I put some of the red pepper flakes on it. Unfortunately, the wind kicked up and blew a good portion of them into my nose instead of the MRE pouch. Cussing vehemently, I dropped the rest of the red pepper in the pouch. I felt like I had been hit with OC pepper spray for at least an hour. I learned to love this one later, but used Tabasco from there on.

  43. Ryan says:

    I started to eat only mountain house meals. They taste like real food and are easy to make.

    tasty-bites, the spicy vegetables are fine cold. but all are worth the weight difference from freeze dried.
