That's pretty good. For context for the unaware, the omelette version of the MRE, discontinued some years ago if I remember right, was widely considered to be the most disgusting one by far, and likely a form of cruel and unusual punishment that could be inflicted on servicemembers.

Here's a guy named Steve eating and reviewing one:

If you're curious what we probably actually are giving them, it's most likely actually these:

They had a vegan omelette MRE… i was dared to try it during war games. It looked like snot, it had the texture of snot, and it tastes like salty snot. I used the heater, so it was warm salty snot. They had stopped putting the little Tabasco bottles in them and boy did i miss it. I don’t think i could finish it. I remember eating a lot of apples on that excursion.

I love Steve1989!

It was not nicknamed the "vomelet" for nothing...
