MRE A-Menu Case, 2018 Inspection Date Military Meal-Ready-to-Eat. Case of 12 Genuine US Military Surplus MREs with A Case Menu Selections.

I didn't understand why people in the military complained about the food. until i tried it.THE BAD-the taste is bad, it has a chemical taste and a strange after taste.-It does't give enough hot sauceTHE GOOD-you get plenty of stuff and it will fill you.-1 bag has Plenty of Snacks, Main meal, drink shakes (coffee, fruit punch or other powder drinks) spoons, a meal heater, napkins (or toilet paper) gum and hot sauce- it can last a while-great for campingTIP: while cooking, dont have the bag stand straight up, instead lay it on the side so that the water warms the food evenly, just fold one end a bit but make sure the steam can still come out where the fold is. also leave it warming your food for 4-5min.If you are using this for camping, BRING EXTRA HOT SAUCE!!!!!! it will keep your meals taste better.

Ordered both A and B. We will use for emergency (earthquake country), camping, travel supplies. Of course had to open several to check and test. Have never eaten this type MREs so didn't know what to expect. Still haven't tried the heater bag. Everything you expect is there, food, spoon, instant coffee (terrible in my opinion), sugar, powered cream, toilet paper, gum, something to flavor water, etc. Not what you might want for a steady diet but if you're hungry you can quickly get food into you, no water required except for the drinks. The food's not bad at all. Certainly more charming than a can of pork and beans and crackers. You won't find anything in the way of a veggie, but this is survival food. Actually thought this wouldn't be bad as a "meals on wheels" sometime substitute except for the lacking veggie part. Your older relative might get a kick out of something like this. Kind of like Christmas to see what's inside.We ordered two boxes did the testing on one then ordered two more boxes. The plan is to use them for emergency food as we live in severe earthquake country and must plan to be without power and water in excess of 30 days. Having decent food that doesn't need power or water to cook along with the other supplies in each bag makes a nice all in one kit if things go south.Western Frontier used Amazon to send this Prime so it came quickly. The inspection date was 2018. Am guessing stored in our back room they will be good for the estimated years. Also expect we will use these up before with on the spur of the moment sightseeing adventures (throw a couple MRE bags in the car and go) or there's nothing in the house to eat and the spouse that's the great cook is out for the evening. Therefore am not concerned these do not have 20-30 year shelf life. Price per bag was cheaper than the burger I had in town last night and that didn't come with gum or toilet paper.

Well, I decided to try the chili with beans. First off the ‘bag’ you’re supposed to use to put water and the main meal into with the heat packs tore open all down both sides. So that was useless. So I used a gallon bag and it never heated up. The cornbread was surprisingly good. Moist and tasty. The crackers were like cardboard, the cheese was ok, lemon lime drink was good too. Disappointed with the heating bag and process. Other wise they’d keep you alive in emergencies. Just have to pack some zip lock bags to try to heat them..

Amazing service! Product 100% accurate! I bought this for my son who is camping twice a year, and after shopping for a year, THIS is the best place to find real MRE's! It came with 12 complete meals, heathers, snacks, drinks and seasonings with napkins/spoons! Loved it! I am looking forward for my future purchases! Thank you so much!!!

Great price for exactly what the product description listed. Full MREs packed with calories and essential nutrients. These are great for primitive camping since no fire is needed. They'll be heavier than freeze dried foods, and they have a lot of plastic waste to carry out, but for the price and the high calorie amounts they're worth it. Freeze-dried foods cost a lot more and are less filling. Most of the food is pretty good. A few of the sides like the first strike bars aren't the best tasting, butthey'll provide plenty of energy and will fill your stomach.

3 stars for being legit MREs in an unopened package. Minus 2 stars for an inspection date of 2018, meaning they are considered fresh for another 18 months or so out of 3-4 year shelf life.

We take them kayak camping. Will use them more on the colder trips because you don't need a fire to heat it up. The bread is my favorite, it's sweet and not too dry. There are desserts of different kinds, coffee, beverage, jelly, peanut butter, crackers or bread and the main meal. Haven't had one we didn't like enough to not eat it. Only down side is the garbage. So much trash is made with these meals. Each one has probably 10 or more packets and wrappers all need to be packed out. No littering. Will buy more.

These are good MREs but I've only opened three of them and one of the heaters didn't work I wish all of them had coffee and I wish they had good Tabasco sauce but they're still decent MREs...
