In the field, most Marines consider MRE's required sustenance. At the National Museum of the Marine Corps, they're practically gourmet.
The museum at Quantico will hold “Meals Ready to Eat” (MRE) Cook-off on Feb. 7. They started this event three years ago in order to draw more attention to the Museum during the cold winter months.
“We’re always looking for new and interesting things to offer here at the Museum, especially during the slower winter months. Michele Flynn, our Visitor Services Chief, came up with this idea. With cooking reality shows being such a big hit and MREs being such a big part of military life, it is a natural fit for us” said museum spokeswoman Gwenn Adams.
