1987 MRE follow up.

So I recently opened up one of my 1987 US MREs.

Unfortunately I don't have health insurance, so I did not try the main, but it was really tempting. It smelled perfectly fine, with a faint worchestershire smell but I couldn't risk it.

Ruined components:

Coffee Creamer. Solid chunk of yellow something. Nibbled a bit of it, and it was pretty gross.

Lemon/Lime drink mix. Exposed to moisture, and was a solid chunk of material, couldn't even get it out of the package.

Cheese spread: Sweet holy God...opened it and it punched in the face with a vile smell. Took picture, and threw it away.

Components tried:

Coffee. Nice smooth coffee, I've had better, I've had worse.

Cookie Bar. Still crunchy after 37 years! It tasted fine, but did have a weird preservative/chemical aftertaste. Id give it a 5.6-6/10.

Crackers. Somebody needs to write the DOD and get these things back in MREs. They were intact, crunchy, a hint of saltiness, and went perfectly with some jelly from a Spanish ration. Just perfection in a pouch. 10/10.

Dehydrated peaches. What a damn great snack. Light, crunchy, fantastic smell, and even better taste. A really great component. 9/10.
