I dunno, I've watched a lot of Steve1989 videos, and the US MREs are usually among the better ones in the world. Especially considering our military actually does stuff (the Western Euros sometimes will have better rations, but their militaries don't really do anything real aside from maybe play for time until they can convince the US to send in troops)
My (ex military) parents have bought me a few, and I would say the ones I've had are probably better than you would get buying an equivalent shelf-stable meal at a grocery store.
My best friend served in the Army and when he came back from deployment he’d snatch some of his favorite MRE meals and we’d all meet up and try them. Honestly most of them slap but at first they can smell and look pretty dodgy. Just don’t look at what you’re eating and it’s perfectly fine
Honestly my preference would just be to have some pork shoulder or brisket that's been cooked in the can in its own juices, or some chili; but it's something of a miracle that they can figure out how to produce a shelf-stable pizza.
