Please join the Arab Culture Student Association and the BC Association of Veterans for an MRE Taste Challenge on Wednesday, May 19 from 3:30 – 4:30 PM on Zoom. Five students will taste Halal MRE and five will taste regular military MRE. Six of these students are veterans who know their MREs!
The first MREs were used in the field in 1983. Plain and unpopular, soldiers did not like to eat them. Also military members who adhered to Jewish or Islamic dietary requirements often had to carry their own rations. It took almost two decades for the production of appetizing MREs. MRE developers increased portion sizes as well as introduced diversity in the rations. There are now many varieties of food for both regular and Halal MREs. Come and see what kind of food these students will taste!
