This has probably been asked time, and time again.
But when you were in the field, and had no other alternative, which MRE was the best?
Best MRE by the decade would be interesting to see as well.

Never ate an MRE. Have a few funny stories about C-Rats. Think of the political uproar today, some of them even had Cigarettes in them (came with a little 4 pack).

My husband didn't have MREs. If they were lucky, the choppers flew out hot food once a day when they were in the rice paddies. They had C-rats left over from WWII and Korea. His favorite, fruit cocktail. Everyone's least favorite, ham and mofos. And Tabasco didn't make any C-rat taste any better according to him.

We had C-Rations. As already mentioned they were canned in the fifties but some of them weren't too bad especially if you had a way to heat the cans.

Menu 10, meatballs in bar-b-q sauce, normally eaten cold with liberal amounts of Tabasco sauce. I would also trade for peanut butter.

LTC Jeff Shearer when I first ate them they didn't have Tabasco in the meals. One of my friends gave me a gift, a tactical bottle/holder of Tabasco that went on my web gear.
