So Anon, let's say the military allowed you to design a brand new MRE entree. What would you come up with after they already managed to delevop a pizza slice mre?

Current MRE entrees? They change all the time
Make a really good cheeseburger.
That's a main course you fat fuck.
OP i would design a charcuterie platter
Chicken fried steak with white gravy. Shoudln't be too hard to preserve I guess.
The main course in an MRE is called entree you dumb newhomosexual
Entree literally means entrance as in the entrance to the main course.
Entree means appetizer or amouse bouche
nagger, I don't give a fuck what your mumbo jumbo means in other countries. In America an entree is a main course. End of story.
This is an Amercian site. Don't like it? Wanna be an autistic foodie sperg? Then fuck off.
>OP i would design a charcuterie platter
You can't say this and not list the components. Spanish style with chorizo and manchego? Italian?
I was thinking Lunchables but yeah we could use some foreign ingredients
In America entree means main course (get fucked frogs)
>mfw frogs get ass blasted about America bastardizing another one of their faggy words or foods
>Americans are bastards
true
a bloo bloo
Uzbek plov
That's a damn good option, make it with lamb for Halal humanitarian rations and make it Life of Boris style with pork for regular folks.
0) all food to be wrapped in vacuum sealed mylar
1) Pemmican or Tallow/ Duck Fat coated, pickled pot roast beef/ chicken
2) hard tack of either multigrain or milk based bread
3) dehydrated veggies
4) dried oxtail
5) Sawyer life straw
6) concentrate from actual fruits with citric acid. None of that koolaid shit
7) organic light roast coffee bean extract for quick cold brew mix
8) iodized salt and pepper
9) napkins and matches
10) multivitamin supplements
11) chemothermal activation bags
Put it all in a vacuum sealed aluminum pack and eat in the field with or without heat until expiration in 50 years.
Meds now.
Hmmm:
Bruschetta
Pigs in a blanket
Pork rinds
>pemmican
Pemmican is fucking good with the berries and shit. I'm down for that.
Hard tack is retarded though. Why would we go back to that? Multivits would have to taste good for grunts to eat. Cold brew shit screams Starbucks culture. Idc as long as it's coffee, I pretty much just pour instant coffee mix in my mouth and wash it down with canteen water anyways.
"Hard tack" today is nothing like hard tack in the 1800s, stop taking memes for granted
For over a hundred years army biscuit, while still being quite durable and long-lasting IF packed in sealed airtight packages, is no harder to bite than say almonds and tastes no different than a plain biscuit. Modern hard tack is sweetened and tastes like a Rich Tea biscuit, or has Hispanices in it for added flavour.
Eastern european rations still come will crackers that are hard like concrete.
I wish I could find them sold separately (read: not pulled from a ration) because I actually like them.
I think TREK'N EAT crackers are the same ones from eastern european rations, try 'em out.
Man is it dry like a motherfucker however. Driest thing I've ever eaten in my life was an MRE cracker.
>Multivits would have to taste good for grunts to eat
You could make them gummies or combine into a protein bar

MRE Sushi/Sashimi with boba tea
That sounds incredibly hard to preserve and store
everyone said that about pizza and now look at us. nothing is impossible.
>Sushi/Sashimi
You get some hooks, a bit of line and instructions on how to improvise a fly lure.
Either hash browns or risotto or something along those lines in a pouch. Hard mode would be a tactical Jamaican beef patty maybe do it like a toaster strudel in a bag or something
I don't want any kind of fish in an MRE for the same reason most offices don't let you microwave it. It's just kinda gross and processed fish is damn near toxic. I worked at clinic for a bit and a dude who ate fish all the time for like every other meal came in and tested positive for heavy metal poisoning from all the fish he was eating.
Pate is also fucking gross even on a tack cracker.
I don't want a mini buffet of the worst processed cheese mini cube bricks and hard tack 20 cents can buy so that's a no for me.
I would also throw in a drinking chocolate packet for fun.In an emergency situations ration kits for like power outages and storms it's a good use of the milk someone might have in their fridge before it goes bad anyway.
>Pate is also fucking gross
You're fucking gross.
hypothetically if you used old style "funazushi" sushi it could work as an MRE. it would taste and smell pretty terrible though.
Sounds not too bad, no worse than blue cheese.
>MRE version of a normal food would taste and smell terrible
So it's perfect for an MRE then?
Sat pork. Hard tack. PRIME Energy Drink powder. Outdated Skittles. Lembas bread.
This. Imagine getting filtered by shelf stable food when your job is to genocide illiterate brown farmers for gubmint gibs
Fried chicken patty or nuggets, I feel like strips would be the best form factor and the DoD would call them nuggets anyway. Everyone wins. This is my pet project, perfectly crispy MRE chicken should be pursued with the zeal that gave us pizza slice.
Also:
Caper chicken
Meatloaf slice (in barbecue sauce)
Ham slices with glaze
Curry rice (optionally add a meat to round the menu if we don't need another vegetarian option)
Hispanicy bean and pork chilli
Salmon patty
Shepherd's pie
Green bean casserole with hamburger
Cheese steak (w/ snack bread or bread sticks as a bun option)
Noodles in onion and chicken sauce
Risotto with pork chunks
Beef and noodles in Burgundy sauce
Strip steak and vegetables
Teriyaki dumplings
And finally pot pie mix with crust crumbs for probably the most divisive MRE bag of the new generation. I'll be waiting for the job offer.
Entree!!!! You dumbfucks
Is a hamburger not an entree? What the fuck is this entree shit, didn’t we fight a war not to speak this “entree” shit
Hamburger is a main course.
Entrèe is an appetizer
A slider for an appetizer and then a bacon burger for a main course
Shut the fuck up cuckold, the pizza slice is the menu item. When OP said entree he was very clearly referring to the American usage of the term.
So you have a fucking shepherd 's pie and a slice of pizza? Real smart you boob
What
I don’t know what retarded homosexual country you’re posting from but in America entree is the primary meal and appetizer is the thing you eat before your entree
Hamburgers using the vacuum microwaved sonically compressed food technique
Amuse of raw tartare and smoked herring
Peanutbutter & Jelly pasta
french onion soup, caldo verde, glazed salmon, sauteed mushrooms with lingonberries, rye bread, famichiki
jambalaya
it's not hard. sausage slices, rice, peppers and seasoning.
simple as
Mmm. JAMBALAYA!
Menu 22: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUqbBRCmQj4
jambalaya MREs already exist. They weren't as bad as the vegetable omelette, but they're near the bottom of the list.
Non dehydrated canned entrees.
The chili is pretty good. Can I just double the number of chili MREs?
I like to cook. I'm not entirely sure what they've already got for MREs these days, but some of my recent favorite dishes that I think could work well in the field:
Ma Po Tofu (Hispanicy, and can be made either vegetarian or with minced pork)
Lamb Pilaf/plov/pulau/osh (Uzbek style is the best)
Gazpacho (Can't go wrong with something as simple as vegetables blended with bread and oil)
Shakshouka (not sure how you'd get the eggs to be right but that's for the food science earholes to figure out)
Tacos de Birria
I've also made at least a dozen different Indo-Pak curries that would be great for MREs like channa masala or palak paneer.
Fried kale, banana peppers, green peppers, steak chunks, served in a dough pocket, available with red or white sauce. Alternatively ship it unassembled and let the grunt build his lunchable the way he wants.
see if it's finally possible to do eggs decently.
dehydrated eggs are kinda ok, but i don't think anyone has pulled of a ready to eat omelette or scrambled eggs that wasn't terrible.
>2018
>Found a 15 year old omelette mre in my truck
>Coooed it and it came it the same brown color as the mre packaging
>ate it
>threw up
>nuked it with tobasco
>finished it
It was okay.
I'd design an assault ration meal that delivers 1200 calories split 50% carbs, 25% protein and 25% fat, as follows:
>two 120-gram meat bars (600cal)
>one 120-gram vegetable granola bar (300cal)
>one 60-gram chocolate bar (300cal)
The meat bars would be a little more tender and moist compared to jerky due to higher fat content. The granola and chocolate would also have some fats.
Each 24-hour special assault ration would have two such meal sets; and one more normal MRE meal made up of eat from the bag whole food, a jerky snack bar and a pressed fruit snack bar, totalling maybe 3500 calories.
This kind of ration would be perfect for the crucial first few days of an offensive when troops might not actually have time to eat or would often be manning their weapons and vehicles. We've all heard stories of soldiers surviving off snack packs and candy bars; this would be a more nutritionally complete option.
Chicken stir fry with spanish rice and black beans
1) Nutrition brick
2) Energy brick
3) Relax brick
4) Water purifier brick
I don't know enough about what is acceptable for MREs anymore. Do they still use irradiation techniques? If so, I bet you could do some nice stuff that they've never attempted, but mostly along the lines of improving the results. Like slices of brisket or some burnt ends instead of shredded beef for the BBQ. I'd be curious about freeze drying some vegetables, too, and if they can be reconstituted in pouch, as in: put a bit of water here for some coleslaw, or maybe screwing around further and trying to come up with a coleslaw flavored vegetable bar for high mobility options, like try to make it rice-cake sort of consistency, but at least you get to pretend like you're eating vegetables when you're in the muck.
all the hot pockets and chicken tendies
If it's an entree I'm extremely curious if we could pull off a guacamole based dish or something, maybe MRE avocado toast for the millennial grunts or something.
I'd probably want to make something like a hamburger though so, sliders maybe? Give em a couple of biscuits to put the small patties in separately?
Bug puree and powdered onions drink
*powdered s-o-y drink
Also an estrogen tablet cleverly disguised as a laxative
Powdered onion drink... Wonder if that's feasible. It would probably taste horrible
I imagine some east Asian military has søy milk in their military rations
>some east Asian military has søy milk in their military rations
Sweetened s.o.y milk called doujiang is a staple in Chinese breakfast, I'd be shocked if PLA mess halls didn't have big jugs of it and tetrapaks in their rations.
It's standard in chinese school cafeterias and hotel breakfast buffets.
>Sweetened s.o.y milk called doujiang is a staple in Chinese breakfast
not really
doujiang is Mandarin for s.o.y bean, that's all
it may be that colloquially you've heard it used when ordering various dishes
s.o.y bean "milk" is a popular dessert beverage, and s.o.y bean pudding is a popular dessert food, if it's part of a breakfast it's more of a sweet drink or dessert component
China is a very big country and what are considered to be breakfast staples vary extremely widely
only in Beijing and the surrounding region is there truly a s.o.y based dish considered a breakfast staple, and it's a strange, dark-coloured, onions broth that's totally unsweetened and frankly tastes... odd
>edit: wow filter's evolving
>doujiang is Mandarin for s.o.y bean
No, it literally means bean sauce/juice.
It's sweetened s.o.y milk, fair bit of sugar and it's *everywhere* in China as a breakfast staple.
I've traveled in all but 3 provinces/regions and all but 4 tier 2 cities and a lot of tier 3 cities and random backwaters and stayed in all kinds of hotels.
Doujiang is fucking everywhere.
>it literally means bean sauce/juice
no it doesn't; doujiang shui or doujiang nai is sybean juice or milk
and the jiang is a homophone of sauce but not the same word
but it seems my original translation is wrong as well, so it's a wash I guess
>it's *everywhere* in China as a breakfast staple
it's everywhere as a drink or dessert, as I said
the difference is that milk or fruit is commonly eaten at breakfast, but I wouldn't call milk or fruit a "breakfast staple", would I? they're commonly consumed 24/7
I've never heard or seen it called shui or nai, it's just doujiang.
It's served at other times too but as a staple, it's a breakfast drink.
Every region has their local dishes but most people don't eat that stuff everyday.
What is very widely considered a working man's breakfast is doujiang, deepfried doughsticks or pancakes and maybe corn grit congee
>just doujiang
possibly a regional colloquialism
the word itself is "bean mash" so the rider "juice" or "milk" is grammatically necessary
>deepfried doughsticks
fried bread
actually the ancestor of churros
>pancakes
by far a northern thing
>maybe corn grit congee
strictly speaking, porridge
congee is a British-Indian loanword
and again, a northern/central thing; in southern china porridge is rice-based only
>What is very widely considered a working man's breakfast
not for us southern-descended chinese, it's soup noodles and fried noodles
surprisingly for such a rice-obsessed culture, breakfast is fucking DOMINATED by noodles

>brand new
No.
You're eating pemmican and hardtack, and you're going to like it.
Tendies and waffles.
green chile shredded beef with rice, beans, and corn. make it Hispanicy enough to make the top of your head itchy. also include those goofy tortillas. needs to have both instant coffee packet and that dumb cappuccino beverage bag. and lastly replace whatever artificial sweetener is in the gum with maltitol.
Biscuits and gravy with pieces of bacon.
>the military allowed you
You should be able to hunt, trap, fish
Some garden, but there is nothing like real food
From the grocery store, from provisions, from supporters and safehouses
Yes, like this, you need the calories and a full stomach of fresh warm food is good for morale
Even underground bases have hot kitchens, and you have jerky and pemmican, snack bars and burritos, tamales
Spanish guerrillas would hunt and trap, cook stews at camps and such. A single deer can feed many, but homemade food packed and sent along into the woods is good for morale and long journeys. That is why women typically play the role of cooks and nurses.
1200mg of dextro amphetamine, a can of copenhaggen, a pack of camel golds, zapplesauce before they took out the caffine, 25 hooah bars, pills to help you shit and and two pre-reformulation ripppits.

I will never not claim that peak OIF/OEF was simply the anthropomorphization of Major Kong into the collective consciousness and personality of US logistics and procurement.
why does my thread get banned but a fucking pizza slice thread that has nothing to do with weapons gets to stay up
fuck jannies from the bottom of my heart, fucking homosexuals
this was my thread btw
> When did people become so squeamish about killing civilians? Like back in wwii no one had a problems with killing literally hundreds of thousands of civilians in war, it was just seen as an inevitable part of fighting. Compare that to now where every human is a precious snowflake. What gives? No, I’m not trolling, I’m genuinely asking why there was such a paradigm shift in thinking, because you have to admit it’s a pretty big shift from okaying firebombing Dresden to going to heroic lengths to avoid harming muslim children. Also, I feel like it is the west that made these standards in the first place (shrugs)
>this was my thread
You are a misanthropic deviant, get help, find God.
What is the point of this rediculas thread? You will never "design an MRE" because you are useless, stoner homosexuals. Go "hit your bongs", homosexual druggies.

I would make every MRE freeze-dried icecream but with different flavors, maybe some can have some almonds in them or something every once in a while for nutrients.
Why isn't fish in MREs a thing? Me, I'd create a crab leg MRE.
Preservation. MREs have been more than good enough for decades. Food is for energy and if you're not a homosexual you aren't autistic about wanting gourmet shit.
>You should be able to hunt, trap, fish
Waste of effort for less than no return in the field. You clearly never served. There is little or no game in war zones. Go back to whatever stupid teentard fantasy you live in. Adults are chatting.
Steak bites
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Wheat bread
Preserved cranberries
Dark Chocolate bar
Make sure the steak, mashed potatoes and gravy are good portion sizes.
A bloomin' onion.
Honestly I'd go with some sort of fried chicken. Maybe some sort of self-assembly kit: preserved chicken in one bag, batter in another bag (just add water). A brick of fat and an extreme version of the heater bag so you can deep fry the chicken in the bag. Watermelon or grape soda drink powder for the memes.
Call me a lard-ass all you want, but if you could pull of deep frying in the field morale would go through the roof.
Too bad room temp IQs and hot oil would make this a non-starter.
I would merely bring back Country Captain Chicken (2001 MRE Menu Item 4) exactly as it was two decades ago.
>t. 11b1p who would almost always trade mres with other infantrymen for country captain chicken
I'm in the minority in firmly feeling that Country Captain Chicken is the bomb. My belly literally rumbled just now thinking about it! Who else considers Country Captain Chicken (on of) their favorite MRE(s)?
just a whole-ass freezedried steak
don't even care if it tastes good, just wanna see it; it would probably taste really good though, no reason it wouldn't
i bet people would do challenges to eat it in 10 seconds like the crackers
>best answer in the thread
Now, the next level up from here would be taking a page from Sun Tzu and simply stealing food from the enemy... and/or going literal cannibal style by eating the dead.
Four ounce freeze dried steak bites individually wrapped for on-the-go snacks throughout an operation would be nearly as perfect as simply filling a camelbak or a couple of canteens with very thick meat slurry mixed with amphetamines and exotic proteins along with plenty of calcium and iron and all sorts of vitamins and minerals that a body needs plus the most bomb-ass flavors imaginable that always start off like a steak dinner but then end like a strawberry dessert.
>start off like a steak dinner but then end like a strawberry dessert.

Bell peppers and beef
Unrelated but what’s a good place to buy MREs? I bought a handful of them at a gun show once and now I think I’m addicted to them
Amazon has some listed
Something edible, maybe even something that doesn't taste like dog food in a plastic bag that gives you severe constipation?
Pervitin, it's all you need

Hispanicy beef bulgolgi with kimchi, shitake mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, spinach, fried egg, and steamed rice
A glass of Cabernet Sauvignon
And 20mg Adderall extended release for dessert
Chili dogs.
kebab wrap
Shouldn't be too hard to have lamb and cheese with a tangy light sauce , and a wrap that smells and tastes as if it was bakery fresh. Bonus points for a slaw of some kind.
It can be done - if you want your MREs to last about 3 years
US MREs are built different
Jumbalaya. Meat, rice and veggies in a tin. Maybe cooked and dehydrated. Just heat water in a tin, add some dry beef/chicken/vegetable stock to make it into stock, then add your Jumbo to rehydrate and heat up. Stock lasts forever too. Super nutritious, hits macros for carbs/protein/fats whatever, perfect for a guy doing physical stuff all day. I figure if you can cook it all together in an instant pot, you can probably find a way to cook it on the battlefield.
