How does an MRE taste? Do they give you spoons/condiments?

It really depends on which one you get and what types of meals you like, but today's MREs really aren't that bad. There will be a main meal, a side dish, and a dessert. "Dessert" can be pound cake (which I like), or even skittles or starburst. Main meals I like are the little hot dogs or chli mac. You'll get plasticware to eat it with. You'll also get a little pouch that has condiments. Usually contains a wetnap, salt/pepper, little bottle of tobasco sauce, packet of instant coffee, and creamer for the coffee. Also will get a pouch of drink mix which is kind of like a serving of kool-aid powder. They've come a long way and don't taste bad at all.
