You’ve tried the rest, now try the longest-lasting: M.R.E. pizza, developed at an Army laboratory in Natick, Mass., is designed to remain fresh in storage for up to three years. Fresh? Yah, a lot of words can be used to describe MRE’s but “fresh” is not one of them. Even mundane, seemingly easy to store foods, end up tasting terrible and have horrible texture. Most of HN couldn’t finish a slice of MRE bread with MRE peanut butter or cheese spread (oh yes we do) on it. When I got back from Iraq I tried Jiffy for the first time in over a year and couldn’t believe how amazing it tasted. I think the words I used to describe MRE peanut butter included “tire rubber”.
