2007 Menu: Pot Roast with Vegetables

Review By Todd Farino


I have to admit that I looked forward to this MRE because of the possibility of of having hot pot roast. To say the least, it was a slight disappointment. First off, the amount of meat was less than the vegetables, s the meat wasn't up to snuff. The overall taste of the pot roast was bland, but the vegetables did carry the flavor of the entire meal. This meal definitely was helped by Tabasco sauce. The only problem was this MRE didn't come with Tabasco sauce, I'm not sure if that was a mistake because its suppose to have it. I added my own Tabasco sauce and it made the meal great. So if you have this MRE make sure you have some extra Tabasco sauce around to make the flavor rich.


The rest of the MRE was very pleasant. The dried cranberries were very good and made the meal better. The pineapple pound cake (a personal favorite) was outstanding, but was a little drier than usual. The Chocolate peanut butter wasn't good at all and with no topping the crackers are useless. If I had some cheese spread or jelly it would have been better.
