First off I'd like to say I'm not actually in the military so my review probably won't be as detailed as most might like to to be.
The beef patty is honestly not that bad. The beef patty is more like a semi-sweet meatloaf and is actually quite good when you add the cheese and BBQ sauce to it. The bread was rather dry, but obviously you can't ask for warm and soft when you're in the field.
The Mexican mac and cheese is spicy, but that's the only thing it has going for it. The cheese is sort of grainy and the mac overcooks way too quickly.
You also get some military-issued Combos (those little round cheese-filled crackers)
The orange drink is good, sort of tastes like Tang.
And for when you're all done you got two sticks of minty-fresh gum!
Overall it really wasn't that bad. I'd honestly eat this even if I wasn't in a field situation, but I'm sure there's better MRE's out there.
