Past quad at 2 AM: "Why do I bother buying or prepping lunch every day. I should just buy an entire supply drop of MREs for my office and never think about lunch again"

Present quad: whY THE FUCK
This is a standard menu rotation which contains 24 meals and is intended to feed a soldier for 7 days. (Actually has 8 days of food)

7x breakfasts
14x lunch/dinners
+ another 3x dinner packs for redundancy and to compensate for allergies.
Day 1:
Pasta Bolognese was 10/10. Honestly the best non-homemade bolognese I've had. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Pack also contained a bunch of extras.
Disclaimer: I may not bother to or remember to post every time i eat lunch
Day 2:
Lapskaus, 8/10

Very good, but tastes a bit oversalted.
Pieces of meat are nice and big, but probably for the same reason it doesn't seem like all of them rehydrate quite as well as they should.
I should probably explain the rating scale btw, which goes like this:

1/10 = Actual garbage

5/10 = About what I'd expect from regular rehydrated consumer foods

10/10 = Close to or as good as "real" food
Day 3:
Kebab Stew, 9/10

Excellent, exactly what I'd imagine a kebab stew should taste like. Doubt i could come up with a better kebab stew myself. But tasted a tad too salty
Day 4:
Chocolate Muesli, 10/10

I'm pretty sure it's mostly just muesli, powdered milk and cocoa powder. Don't even know if it was freeze dried. Would be more surprising if they managed to fuck this one up.

Can't imagine it would taste any different if I made it at home
Honestly I hate it, it's so overly sweet and muesli is just boring af.

But that's because I hate chocolate muesli, not because they did anything wrong with this one
Day 5:
Creamy pasta with pork, 3/10

Taste is fine, but it's mostly just pasta with a bland herb sauce on it. Meat pieces are nice and big, but a bit lacking in quantity. Also few veggies.

Overall there's too much pasta and bland herb sauce, little else

@quad
Can you send me a link? All the MREs I've looked at were expensive as fuck.

@LukeAlmighty They are sold straight from the manufacturer, but most likely due to the global food shortage ordering is limited to Norway only atm: https://realoutdoorfood.com/products/?_sft_product_cat=real-field-meal&_sfm_pa_energi_kcal=0+1520&orderby=popularity
