Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just wanted to make the reference, I mean that is what he was for.

Is there something wrong with Chicken Teriyaki???

Military grade MREs (Meals Ready to Eat)
and there isnt anything wrong with chicken teriyaki its just damn its the tastiest flavor? whats up with that

you can buy them at stores???

Lol MREs at supermarkets, that's silly. I'm pretty sure I've got a better idea of what they're like than you do Darth Monkey.

The packaging on MREs claim that they can't be sold anywhere legally, however there aren't any actual laws restricting its resale. In fact if you'll do an Ebay search I'm sure you'll find at least a hundred listings. Also, from my experience it's common for people in the military to give away anything they don't have to turn back in to friends/family so MREs are practically everywhere.

They are cooked by a chemical reaction, not quite an explosion. The reaction causes water to boil.

Chicken teriyaki isn't on the current MRE menu and as far as I'm aware no MRE as far back as 1981 has been available in chicken teriyaki. Are you sure you don't mean beef teriyaki?



I also have older C rations and MCIs but those sit on my collection shelf.

Point and match.

I'm pretty sure they're phasing out the chicken tetrazzini. As far as I'm aware soldiers don't have access to small portions of explosives aside from a napalm derivative that is used to start fires, and it's not technically an explosive. Aside from that, it's probably likely that using explosives for that purpose or even building fires is prohibited. I mean heck, they even require soldiers to conceal wrist watches so that light reflection won't give away troop position.

Btw, have you seen the Myth Busters episode in which they attempted to tenderize meat with explosives? Needless to say their attempts never managed to cook anything.
