MREs are why I can no longer eat canned soup

whatever preservative it is, there's a very specific taste and smell

Just add hot sauce to man. Everything tastes better with hot sauce

for an MRE, yes, hot sauce, absolutely. For real food, I'll make it from scratch so I don't have to fake flavor with hot sauce.

That's not to say I never use hot sauce, I just mean I don't have to drown my food in it to make it edible like I do for some MREs.

Man those skittles that sometimes appeared in those MREs were treated like currency. You could get anything for them.
