MRE Review: Cheese Spread and Wheat Snack Bread

Cheese Spread and Wheat Snack Bread By Todd Farino

I have to admit when I decided to try the cheese spread I was skeptical. I haven't eaten the spread since 1996 after I had a bad experience with it. However, my wife asked me to try it and I did with one of my personal favorite MRE contents, Wheat Snack Bread. Let me just say it was pretty good. The bread was dry as we expect with MRE breads, but not as dry as you would expect. The cheese spread certainly performed its job of not only moistening the bread, but also giving it a very rich cheese flavor. I have to say they were a perfect match. The wheat bread without a doubt is a softer and more flavorful eat then the crackers, so I would recommend the wheat bread over the crackers.

Also, the cheese spread was easy to spread on with the MRE spoon and made little mess. The only negatives were the dry bread and the lack of overall flavor. There was flavor from the cheese spread as expected, but it wasn't overwhelming and the bread provided more of a holder of the cheese. Otherwise, the cheese didn't bring out the breads natural flavor. We recommend spreading salt on the cheese for more flavor.

Overall, I give this combo a thumbs up and say if you get the cheese spread and wheat snack bread you will be very happy.
