T-rats......

As part of being prepared I have a little of this and a little of that. Couple of years ago one store was blowing out there T-rats with free shipping.

For those that do not know a T-ration is nothing more than an MRE in family size. Each T-rat is good for 8-12 servings. As we were rearranging the storeroom I grabbed one for dinner.

Now in a real world application I like to think of them as winter comfort food since they are a wet pack item and if only for a couple of people you have to have a way of storing the leftovers.

The entree was Mexican Chili Mac. Says it is good for 8 servings. These were packed in 09/2007 so are only 3 years into there 9-10 year life. T-rats come in plastic trays so you have to have a way of heating them up. I just take what I need and freeze the rest.

This entree was not bad. Needed a little salt and we put a little cheese on top. Not too spicy at all and the wife liked it.
