MRE Entrees (18-Pack) – Beef, Chicken & Pork Combo – (Beef Strips & Taco, Chili Macaroni, Chicken Noodles & Chunks, Italian Sausage in Marinara Sauce, Maple Pork Patty) | Long Life Food Depot

Exelente

Great deal for the price. Only thing I wish was that they came with heaters along with the product. Had to buy them separately.

Stay clear of the maple sausage patty!!!! YUCK! Other than that the meals paste great.

The items I received are slightly different (refer to my photo of the box). However, the contents inside are pretty accurate representation of the actual MRE entrees. So far I have only tried the Chili Mac (of course I have to dig into the best menu upon unboxing it), but I could already tell they have done a great job of replicating the food. If you want 18 100% accurate MRE entrees only, I suggest buying 18 MREs then burn all the goodies like the cheese spreads and tortillas. But for those who aim for 80-99%, this product is for you. This product do not include the FRHs so I recommend either boil the packs or heat the food directly in a pot.I totally understand why people would deduct stars in their reviews for receiving the wrong menus or no heaters. But for me, this product exceeds my expectations for this price point (what do you expect for $3.6/pack?). I am very likely going to order this again if they restock it (for those wondering, I stock up on these because the place I'm living in is at the brink of a lockdown). I do hope that they include the hash browns next time I order it. Or they should just change the description or pm the buyers to correctly reflect what they are sending so people would not be pissed off anymore.Update to my review : I see many reviews criticised the product for not having expiration date. What the product do have is a four-digit date code printed on every pouch (the first digit is the year of production and the other three is the number of day of that year), just like real MRE entrees. The ones I received are freshly produced from late 2020-2021 so should everyone that purchased after me.

These are not MRE's, they are the packages that go IN MRE's.

Sweet these are the real deal definitely worth the money now I got to get us other stuff to go with them thank you

There are several different types of meals in the 18-package box, not as wide a variety as in the true 24-item menu of a case of military MREs, but still enough to meet my needs. They come from the Wornick Company, which supplies meal pouches for military MREs.I have tried only the Italian sausage so far. It was tasty with a fair amount of spice. The portion was more than adequate for me. Since I bought these to supplement meals in an emergency, I probably won't get into the others immediately. There were several numbers on the packages so it is hard to tell what the packing date might be. The numbers 0021 and 0092 appear on the package. That could mean they were packaged earlier in 2020. If so, that is good. They should last 5 or more years.I did more than buy just these main meals from the vendor. I also bought other items that would make a full MRE-style meal - sides, beard, peanut butter and cheese spreads, cookies and pound cake for dessert, drink mix. The vendor is out of stock on crackers, but I ordered some from another vendor. I did this because the prices of a 2-case set of MREs, 24 meals, is rather high right now. I wanted to see if I could put together MRE meals a la carte. As it turned out, the price per meal this way is actually slightly higher than the per meal cost in an MRE case. Still, I think it helps me round out my emergency food supply. And I have more control over the menu. Some military MRE meals are better than others.

Having never eaten or even seen an MRE I don't know what I was expecting but not this. I guess if you've used this type of product before and like it my review isn't for you, it's for folks that want some shelf-stable stuff for emergencies and think this is an option. IMO, it's not an option unless you're literally starving to death.First of all these things are tiny- like a flattened deck of cards in a foil wrapper. It's a squishy packet of nothing. If you press on it there's no substance to it, like jello in a bag. Now I know why they put all kinds of other items in a traditional MRE because no one could survive on this amount of food unless you ate 6 of them. I tried the chili and macaroni and couldn't get past one bite so eating 6 of them isn't happening. Just the thought of it is nauseating to me now.I guess I'm spoiled because my prepper food is predominantly Mountain House which is excellent, nutritious and looks and tastes like food you actually want to eat. Of course it's 4X the price but I guess you get what you pay for. If this is what we feed our military no wonder they're having trouble recruiting people.
