Poor Man's MRE Entree - Salmon in a Foil Pouch


A Good Entree Alternative

You can get these at WalMart for $1 each and it seems like a good poor man's MRE entree.  It tastes good too.  I keep one in my cooler and car for a back-up lunch.  I have tried to find if you can freeze them which of course is better than a canned item.   You can add some flavoring such as mustard, hot sauce, miso, or ketchup depending on your tastes and add a side dish of rice, noodles, or some other carbohydrate while adding some fresh or canned greens if you have them.


Excellent Emergency Rations

These foil pack foods are also good field rations and emergency storage in your vehicle since they are not quickly subject to temperature fluctuations.  Excess heat of course will cook them which you might want to avoid, but freezing temps at least shouldn't cause this food to burst and spoil giving you an MRE entree at a fourth of the cost and arguably something more nutritional and better for you.  The expiration dates on on the packs so at least you have a baseline to judge when to cycle through these.

LOW COST
Additionally, since the cost is low and the taste is good this is one field ration you can rotate.  Eating through military MRE supplies is not really all that good for your health or wallet.  That food is designed to keep you fighting and not focused on your long term health.


As you see in the photo there is also Tuna and Spam in a foil pouch as well.

Happy Eating.

I had a Salmon Pouch for Breakfast.
