2019 US MRE Creamy Spinach Fettuccine Another One of the Worst Meal Ready to Eat Tasting Test

  • Yet another vegetarian MRE menu that manages to miss the mark of normalcy or acceptability in terms of texture, smell, flavor, and a little on the visuals too. On the upside, it's a fresh meal and did the job. I will admit, I took an hour nap almost immediately after eating it. And woke up burping the flavor of spinach, but that's okay. A fun little MRE review.

    Believe it or not, the Creamy Spinach Fettuccine IS actually much better cold/room temp. It somehow has more flavor and a better texture. Heat turns it into a flavorless glop, true. It was one of my preferred MREs in the Army, although I remember it had peanut M&Ms added before 2019.

    • @mysock351C
      @mysock351C Рік тому +9

      Its actually decent either way, but only when fresh. I have a few of them. BUT, I did notice that they are not so nice after awhile. Ate another one that was about three years old a few weeks ago and it was not nearly as good. Had an odd chemical mush flavor. I think this one and the MRE Pizza are two menus that don't age well. The pizza turns into something kids would make out of brown and red Play-Doh, and that's about how it tastes. Like you literally ate the pretend pizza when they said "wanna try?" Salty and weird.

    As someone that frequently gets stuck in the field and on deployments with nothing but MRE's to eat, this one is one that everyone tends to avoid. I'm really not sure why they decided to ate this menu, definitely one of the questionable ones.

    Hey Steve, just finished the Menu 14 MRE, and I must say, it wasn't too bad. Adding those pretzel nuggets did help though! Keep up the good work man.
