I really loved the BBQ pork ribs. They also gave you soft bread in that pack, and I think it also came with mint pound cake. The article neglected to mention the tabasco being used in your eyes to keep you awake while on guard duty. I agree, the cheese spread (especially jalapeno) was the best. I would usually not eat the meat-like product in MREs.

Oh goodness, the jalapeno cheese spread was ever only in like 1 of the meals per box. People used to trade illicit bottles of liquor for one of those. I got one of the worst cases of...erm..."intestinal movement"...from the ribs (fashioned into a sandwich with the bread of course). I could never bring myself to eat that particular meal again. I think they've replaced the bread in the newer (2009/2010) meals with a tortilla. I still can't figure out how they made the pasta MREs so good. Old pasta noodles get soggy fast.
