Hmm... I heard that MRE means Meals Rejected by the Enemy.  (Here comes 
another debate akin to the SCR Question....)

One of my co-workers told me about some kind of mystery-meat MRE that his 
paratrooper unit dubbed "Cat Loaf."  I never encountered that (he said the 
smell was very diSTINKtive) but have had some others that if it hadn't been 
dark, I'd have never stuck a fork in them.  Good thing they came with a 
little bottle of Tabasco Sauce, to kill the taste....

As another of my co-workers said about some MREs, "That looks lak' som'thin 
what dun been et' b'fo'....)
