Meal, Ready-to-Eat

Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) is a self-contained food supply used by terrans. They are found in both emergency supplies and as part of standard dining. For the most part, MREs are sub-standard in quality of substance and taste.

Despite their self-contained nature, MREs have expiration dates.

Peach Cobbler
Peach Cobbler is a desert contained in about 1 in 600 MREs and is about the only thing that actually tastes good in an MRE. For those lucky enough to recieve an MRE containing a cobbler, he/she can expect all matter of proposed trade-offs and bribes to come their way from their fellow diners.
