..MRE Sandwiches / Bread

MRE Sandwiches are now available!

These Sandwiches are used in the new First Strike Rations (FSR)!

The First Strike Ration (FSR) is a compact, eat-on-the move ration concept from the United States Army, designed to be consumed during the first 72 hours of conflict, created by the United States Army Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Massachusetts.

These FSR / MRE Sandwiches are packaged like MRE Pound cake or MRE bread, require no refrigeration, and have a 3 year shelf life at 80 degrees.
They can be eaten cold, but we discovered that they fit inside an MRE Heater! So you can even have a hot sandwich if you purchase heaters separately.

The calorie count ranges from 320 to 340 per sandwich!

Epicenter taste testing results:

Italian Style (made the 350th day of 2008)
This was our number one pick. Just great!
Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, and Mozzarella cheese with Tomato Sauce inside bread. Crazy good.
Average 8.3 rating.

Honey BBQ Chicken (made the 221st day of 2008)
Good amount of Chicken, right amount of sauce. BBQ sauce is like any good quality, national name brand.
Average 7.3 rating.

Honey BBQ Beef (made the 336th day of 2008)
Lower rating than Chicken because we thought it could use a bit more sauce.
Average 6.6 rating.

Bacon Cheddar (made the 14th day of 2009)
Good amount of bacon. The bread has a texture making it more like a hot pocket. Two of us liked the texture, one of us did not.
When we asked the manufacturer what was different about the bread in this sandwich, we received this response:
"You are correct.  The bread formulation in the Bacon Cheddar is different.  There are Cheddar flakes in the Bacon Cheddar and there is a butter flavor to compliment these cheddar flakes.  Also the other breads are a little different in pH level to keep them stable."
We would like to have the bacon spread out more evenly, and have the cheese inside with the bacon in addition to being mixed in the bread. But pretty darn good.
Also, slightly more expensive than the other sandwiches.
Average 6.0 rating.

Pepperoni (made the 138th day of 2009)
This is a new one, and we left the review to customers. The first review is in from "Larry":
Larry says: "I have tried all but the BBQ Chicken and I rather like the pepperoni the best.  Nice and spicy, not too hot spicy.  The size of the pepperoni stick was about right for the size of the sandwich.  It tastes good hot or cold, which on the others I had cold did not work for me so much."

Let us know what you think of it too!

Now you can make your own MRE sandwich creations using this bread and any of our MRE Entrees.

• Sloppy Joe filling
• Maple Pork Sausage
• Beef Brisket
• Meat loaf
• Beef Patty
• Grilled Chicken Breast
• Buffalo Chicken
• Chicken Fajita

One of our customers said the following:
Dave says: "Hey, Just received my newest order with the sandwiches and the plain bread. Today's breakfast was a maple pork patty in the bread. I drizzled some of the juices over the bread. I am impressed! You guys got a great thing going with these.  Good Job! "
 

MRE Sandwich Bread Only. Price: $1.69 (12 or more, $1.59 each)
 
 

..MRE Entrees / Side Dishes and Sauces

MRE Entrees and Side Dishes

Some items have no comments at all. It's not that they don't have any comments because they "suck", but rather there is not anything special to say. Take Meat loaf as an example: "It's not as good as my Mother made, but it's not bad – better if warm". If our customers would like comments for all items listed, please note that in the comments section on your order. If enough customers think we should include comments  for all the entrees and sides we offer, we would be happy to expand our ratting system. For now, we only have comments for the real stand outs on the list.

..MRE Heaters and Hot Beverage Bags

MRE Chemical Heaters

• You place your MRE entree (or anything else that is water tight and needs to be heated) into the bag, and pour water into the bag until the water reaches a mark on the bag.
• Then hold the heater level so the chemicals soak up the water.
• Prop the bag and MRE (or other items) up using a rock, and the heat is on!
• After 10-15 minutes, the contents are piping hot!

Hot Beverage Bag (for use with MRE heaters)

Now, make hot coffee with your MRE heaters!

These 4.5" x 9" PET / Poly side weld, 3 mil bags are not your normal zipper lock style bag.
These are made to military specifications and have unique features including resistance to the high temperature MRE heaters develop!
They are designed to heat water for beverages but have many, many other uses!

It gets better, read on!

When using the bag for beverages, you just fill the bag with the desired amount of water using the printed ounce marks, put the desired mix in (like instant coffee) seal it, place it inside the heater bag and activate the heater. After six minutes it's ready and really hot!  These bags also have measuring marks for 6 oz, 8 oz, and 12 oz. with instructions.

Just read the instructions for the beverage you want to make, and determine how much water to use and fill the bag to the mark.

Take these hot examples of cool uses for MRE Hot Beverage Bags!

A whole can (15 oz) of pork and beans fit in these special bags. Although the combined package won't fit inside the MRE heater, it can be placed ON TOP of the MRE heater in our new insulated bag (available separately or in kit form) and lets the product spread across the surface of the heater for maximum heat transfer.

How about things that don't fit inside MRE heaters like Hot Dogs and Buns?

We have discovered many other uses for these high temperature bags and are offering an emergency food and beverage heating kit as well. See more details below.

Buy more and save!

• 12 pack: $0.22 each
• 50 pack: $0.20 each
• 100 pack: $0.16 each

The Hot Beverage Bags are intended to hold water for use in MRE beverages like coffee, but have many other uses. Use your imagination!
The Hot Beverage Bags do not produce heat and only provide a way to contain items.
Be sure to order MRE heaters (above)!

Notes about MRE shelf life:

The manufacturer uses an estimated shelf life figure of "3 to 5 years, plus or minus" for its MRE-type pouched food products. Actual shelf life may vary from this estimate. A key factor effecting actual shelf life is the temperature of the storage environment. Storage at temperatures higher than 85°F may shorten the shelf life of MRE-type food products. On the other hand, lowering the storage temperature will help extend the products' shelf life. This effect is common to most processed food products.

The shelf life figures given in the table for MREs are based on taste test studies conducted by the U.S. Army's NATIC Research Laboratories. This study was conducted by NATIC without participation of the MRE manufacturers. As such, the manufacturer cannot verify the test procedures used by the NATIC labs, nor do they adopt these shelf life figures as a guarantee of any sort. The data is useful, though, as a general indication of the effects of storage temperatures on the shelf life of MRE-type food products.
