I'm curious to try a case of those this year.

I bought a case of "Menu C" from mredepot.com* last year, except for UPS trying to screw me over on custom brokerage fees by charging me 55$ extra for the "service" (only had to pay four loonies to the CBSA after filling out some simple paperwork myself), those civvie MREs were definitely worth it.

The entrées are the same as in a real MRE but Menu-C lack the side dishes, instead, you get a few extra snack and dessert items, substitutions are frequent and can lead to a lack of variety, I ended up with the same snack items combo (oatmeal cookies, cinnamon scones, osmotic raisins & hot tamale candies) four times in a row while camping and couldn't care less, was nice to have sundry items to munch on in between meals.

I kept the Omelet w/ veggies for last as I dislike egg based dishes but it was surprisingly good, topping it with Tabasco only made it better. Then again, I thoroughly kneaded it into a mushy pulp before I dropped the pouch into the heater and made sure not to look at the content as I was eating it out of the pouch.

* Make sure you check the mreinfo.com forums if you do decide to do business with those guys, quite a few people reported that a whole lot of items were missing from their Menu-C. I was lucky and only had a single Menu-C with items missing, namely the cheese spread (which was a huge disappointment since that cheese spread is to die for), BBQ sauce and accessory pack in the meatloaf menu. I dropped the owner an email to let him know, he apologized and sent me a bunch of spreads, sauces and crackers.
