Five Star Gourmet MRE?
There is a story on the US Army news site telling how Iron Chef Roberto Donna took 2 MREs and turned them into “five-star, restaurant-quality dishes”.
While at first this sounds too good to be true, it turns out that it is. They were allowed to use 5 ingredients and unlimited spices and herbs.
Once you read the story it is clear that the dream of just spicing up or adding some simple ingredient to enhance your MRE flavor is just a dream.
There is not much practical ideas you could use for survival food unless you give up the convenience and ready to eat benefits plus storing a whole lot more of other foods.
If they could have limited themselves to one or two ingredients requiring little preparation it would have been more useful. However basically they are really preparing a new dish with some MRE thrown in for the exercise.
Iron Chef gets creative with MREs
