Non-meat MRE are already tastier that meat ones (see also [0]): > Not only did they replace military mystery MRE meat with something more appealing to eat out of an envelope, but they were actually tasty They seems to take the processing route indeed, which is usually more appreciated if you only account for taste: most people prefer cakes than wholemeal wheat. > Gel/semi-solid formats, dry powder mixes, [and] sauce-style components [...] gel packs stuffed with fermented mushroom protein and other nutrients However that's a preparation choice and not a (high-prot plant-based) necessity: - tempeh is already delicious and nutritive with two steps: cook + ferment - patties can be made with whole seeds like hemp or pumpkin - brewer yeast is cheap, tasty and it's just the leftover of the beer creation process. Moreover I doubt meat-based MRE contains only meat: lack of fibers would lead to constipation which is not great on the battelfield. 0 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48119293 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48119293
