MORTARDUDE I think it was more a state of mind then actual fact. I can't really remember what food was in them but it was hot and hydrated making it much easier to get down then MRE's
I bring up food hydration because the MRE's were notorious for wreaking havoc on your digestive system if eaten as a sole food source without massive auxiliary hydration. We had a SSGT go on a two week MRE diet one time out at NTC without proper hydration and she ended up in the TMC for mechanical waste removal
