A MRE is a "Meal Ready to Eat"
see link: http://www.mreinfo.com/mres.html
or
It is Military Issued and is completely sealed from the elements until you decide to open it. It contains a main course such as Chili Macaroni, Chicken Tetrazine, Beef and Mushrooms. With a side, snack, dessert, candy and a condiment package containing toilet paper, instant coffee, instant tea, salt, pepper, sugar, tobasco sauce, gum, handy wipe, and dairy creamer. It also has an entree heater that requires 1 oz. of water and will heat your main course for you flame free (great to warm hands with in the Fall too). The best part about them is you can put some in the boat and forget about them for 1 year until you need them. I can be out pounding the water for 8 hours, get hungry, and polish off an MRE and I am getting a full course Meal that is balanced and am good to go for the another 8 hours without every leaving the water. I have heard they run about about $5-$7 a piece at Army Surplus Type Stores. I have some left from when I was in the Military.
I have quite a few to sell/trade if anyone's interested PM me.
