MRE
Sandwiches are now available!
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 232nd 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!

the bread with no filling.
Now you can make your own MRE sandwich creations using this bread and
any of our MRE Entrees.
Just cut a slot in the side of the bread, and fill the pocket with
one of these great ideas:
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!
"

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.

For years, we have been offering the G.I. favorite MRE Tabasco in the miniature
1/8 oz. glass bottles. When the war started, the supply dried up, and we
started offering this brand of hot sauce in a pouch at a much lower cost.
The pouch is like you would find ketchup in at a fast food store. But don't
be confused, this is HOT sauce and not some wimpy taco sauce!

Hot
Beverage Bag (for use with 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!
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.
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!
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)!

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.
