I love how many of these MRE reviews complain that the food could be so much better. As a former soldier, they're not made to be cordon bleu, they're designed to shovel in as many calories as possible as quickly as possible, with less fuss as possible. The trade off is that the food isn't exactly restaurant standard. It simply serves a purpose. If we wanted the restaurant experience, we had Pot Noodles from the NAAFI shop.

Read the instructions contained within the ORP. They tell you how to prepare the food therein. You wasted a lot of water. The food is designed to be eaten hot or cold. Place the food sachet into your cooking utensil, then top it up with water and place the utensil on your stove. When the water has boiled for a few minutes take the utensil off your stove, remove your sachet from the boiled water, open the sachet, and eat your food. Saves having to clean your cooking utensil and you can have a hot drink! Put hot or cold water into the muselie packet for the same reason.
