So I’ve had this box of Sopakco Surepak MRE’s, made for the military they provide lots of calories and a ready to eat meal out of the pack. They are supposed to have a shelf life of about 5 years, I’ve had mine for about 2 years. I have it just in case of an emergency and it works out as a very good insurance policy with one box of 12 meals being about $70. You never know if the snowstorm of the century will show up or something else unexpected. In these “extreme” but certainly non-probable situations I really wonder if money will have any value but a box like this could save your life.
Anyways, I’ve never tried any just kept it in my basement. So now I’ve decided to eat it to see if its worth ordering a new box to last for another few years.
Am I a little hesitant about eating food that’s been in storage for 2 years at room temp? Yhea – so that’s why I need to try it 
Ok first on the menu are some crackers and cheese spread – not bad though the cheese is a little pasty. No bad reaction at all. So onto the main portion! Now this pack says it has boneless pork ribs and rice – wow sounds really good. Warm it up in a pot with a little water and then take the first bite….
Hey not bad, tastes pretty good actually with a good amount of salt in it. The rice has a good rice texture not crunchy or hard and the ribs seem more like compressed meat but are quite tasty. I can see myself and my wife eating these no problem. It has a nice drink with it – apple spice powder just mix with water which tastes like slightly watered down apple cider.
Now after eating this I’ll wait and see how I feel tomorrow
