Meals Ready to Eat (MRE)

Four MRE meals. I like them so much that in the time it took to take a picture I decided to cook one up and have a pretend tour in my kitchen! (grin)

MRE meals come down to boiling water, pouring the water into the bag and then waiting for a period of time while the water soaks into the food.

I take some of these with me on every tour now. It's a nice feeling to be pedaling along knowing that in your saddlebags you have a meal all ready to go should you not feel like making a real cooking effort or visiting a restaurant.

Some people comment on the expense. The meals shown in the picture range in price from $7 to $12 CDN. I believe that the convenience of food at hand with minimal preparation makes them worth it.

Having said that I do like to prepare and eat food too so the pages that follow this one will be about simple meals.

These meals are lightweight and pack tightly in a saddlebag especially if you pack them with the top of one touching the bottom of the next one.
