I was expecting a photo of a goat on a rope ...

Goat on a rope becomes a MRE after it has been successfully used as an IED detector.

Matches are a nice touch.

Had to go on French MRE for a week during my time in the French Navy some 20 years ago.

Well, they keep you alive, they're not bad tasting.

But, they do pack you a lot... Worst case of constipation I ever had...
