Just an FYI if you are interested, Dextrose in and German is literally translated as "Grape-sugar" or in German Traubenzucker. So that would be a multi-vitamin dextrose tablet. Depending on the process the Grape flavor will be present or not. Love your vids
There's always wive's tales about stuff put in the food. When I was in the Canadian army, everyone believed that there was saltpeter in the food to diminish certain "drives". I know that fable isn't unique to Canadian grunts...I've heard it from other countries too. And like every soldier while on leave, it was disproved pretty quickly.
When you were describing the goulash at that time I was eating beef stew so I Associated it with that because the beef stew I was eating smelled fantastic plus it tastes good too. Thanks for the video it was a good one tasty. Keep your power dry!
In the field we would boil water in a pot and warm most all the food in the boiling water rather than dumping it into a pan then the mess kit. Much less to clean up, nothing burns and just as fast. I don't know why the eastern European rations don't include black pepper or some sort of hot sauce, much needed for some of the meat dishes.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else make an MRI look appetizing 😂 I’m sure how appetizing you find them varies depending on whether or not you’re on the battlefield starving your ass off…
Originally Graham crackers were designed to be bland, similar to the original purpose of Kellogs corn flakes. Supposed to suppress "urges"; fools really thought boring food would make people less horny
Its interesting to see that our soldiers rations consist of regular civilian stuff you can buy in any supermarket.. Sure it might taste a bit more decent than food that Is made to last for ages but I thought the army would prefere longgevity over taste. I wonder how long do these rations last before they go rancid?
what i know of the food inspectors (army veternarings) at a army base 4 decades ago was. at the expire date the inspector goes in pulls a case or 2 from a lot number, opens them all up checking on the components. those that pass get like a year long extension before re-inspection. those that don't or are close to expiring get sold off.

Any cans dates are just the Best by Date which means the taste is the best. you could eat that can 5-10 years after that date. as long as the can is not dented, cracked or damaged in any way.
During the American Civil War, doctors in the field would ask each soldier the "status of their bowels" and if the soldier said he had loose bowels, he'd give the soldier an opium tincture sometimes called "black rock". If the soldier suffered from constipation he'd give them something to loosen them up.
In Australian 🇦🇺 Rat packs { MRE } we have a tube of condensed milk. The small metal Spoon 🥄 is cald FRED, field ration eating device, or grunts name is { F#=Ken ridiculous eating device. I’m enjoying watching your videos, Thank you.
Just found this video. Pretty interesting! Why do some of the food canisters look like cat 🐈 food? 🤣 (I think it’s funny). Thanks for posting your videos, good content good job!
Nice review. I have one of these with the same best before date. Glad to see it held up. Just discovered your channel, will look forward to more reviews.
I've noticed the Eastern Euro and Russian MRE's use a lot of commercial products just packaged and sealed. Not special long shelf life stuff like US or Western MRE's
They use a cutlery set and a three piece mess kit for their army at least in the early nineties. Can't remember what they used as a stove as we mainly ate in field kitchens.
In Canada when basic training and u eat the mre they just threw bunch in a boiling pot and grabbed them out of that different on mission obviously bought most countries started adopting the use of ration heaters as there less weight less chance been seen obviously fire can been seen from far away but lot the European countries used have there own cook kit because stove or even few u had 3 separate used stoves where most guys would keep all the fuel tabs and just reuse the one stove instead 3
Looks like cat food or dog food but doesn't taste like my question is is how do you have a frame of reference to know what cat food and dog food taste like.?
Maybe in the future, you can use your survival kits and show people how to use them effectively. What to do with the kit? Thanks for an informative channel.
Many Armed Forces issue stoves separately. Although the truth is that any regular is going to private purchase a lightweight camping stove and better mess gear anyway. I
If it is sugar free gum with xylitol in the American mre it will have a laxative effect. Maybe they give a laxative because the mre gives constipation....lol
Xylitol only causes a laxative effect when consumed in large quantities. The amount in the gum isn't enough to do it. It's one of those internet rumors that has some basis in fact, but doesn't tell the whole story.
Carry weight. A lot of US meals have dehydrated things in them to make them lighter. The pouches they come in are also less likely to get damaged than cans. In other words, it's just more pragmatic.
*All in the MRE is maket food what eat normal people. The MAJKA u read like MAYKA its just normal standard food (majka is made by company named hame and they make many food like ketchup and many others its like company what moste people buy food cose they taste good)*
Excellent meal review. I find other countries military food specialists simply go grocery shopping with a list of best approved meal items and put them into a MRE package for their military to consume. I get it. After volunteering and eating US MRE'S for 30 days as part of a 2016 US ARMY, Natick Food Labs study, I take ours over other countries meals ready to eat anytime.
I think another part of why foreign MRE's are better is they spend less on defense budget overall. It's no secret the US foots the bill for most of europe, not to mention a lot of their soldiers aren't actually fighting prolonged conflicts. US MRE's hold up extremely well to the elements, age, etc. A lot of these foreign ones have jelly exploding just from shipping. They're simply not "combat ready", more for training missions. If you look at other countries assault rations, they're incredibly similar to US ones, because they have to be to actually hold up. Just my 2 cents.
Expired? You call that expired? You need to give this one at least another 5 years before you call it expired. There are channels out there choking down rations that decades (as in plural) past their "expiration dates" that can be pretty damn entertaining.
If you don’t have enough fiber, and you may be sitting around for a few days, and you eat too much protein and carbohydrates, you can get a military version of “stopped up”, or “impacted”. Then then you might need a military “evacuation/extraction“ laxative if you don’t get enough fiber, juice, etc.🥹🍖🥩🥓🍞🫓🥖💩
*every mentol gum or candy have in it special stuff what work as laxative but u need eat wery much from it so they have true if they say it but u need eat wery much from it not only 2 some companys write that on they products so next time try look in it*
I don’t like these ration pack reviews. It’s interesting to see what’s in them but don’t feel it’s worth a full video. They’re all the same, and we can’t taste them. Love your survival kit reviews though, they’re the best.
I forget his damn all he does is mreeze on TH-cam he's eating MREs from World War I World War II from Vietnam he's had food from over a hundred years old and still ate it and not died a couple months out of date will not kill you the stuff is good for like 5 years out of date I went to Prague they do that on purpose

Modern MRE's will always be better than surplus K-Rations
Love your channel! Best regards from Sweden..

If you want to see how good some MRE's are prepared, try the French MRE's. They know how to treat their combatants.
Already reviewed it, just haven’t uploaded the video yet. 😃
@@KitbashedSurvival can’t wait to see the video. Hope it comes out soon.
@@KitbashedSurvival You still planning on uploading the video?
Brother its not how we eat goulash. You dip the Gravy with bread or Crackers in this case.

Officially they last 2 years, but I would think if they're stored right they'd probably be good for 5+

Tohle MRE je civilní, armádní se jmenuje BDP a kromě čaje a marmelády nemá žádné značkové výrobky.

I almost fell off my chair when you called 'Jam', 'Jam' and not 'jello'! Loved the vid!
In many Europe armies you get reusable silverwear/ cuttlery as an soldier. So you just have to take it with you going in the field.
just found thsi channel today and i cant stop watching lol
c
3/ 8oz screw top tins for bumpin sticks. Sugar, creamer, and fresh ground coffee.... call it my "mud kit"😅😅

If the gum contains xylitol it has a laxative effect in large quantities, I doubt 2 little bricks would be anywhere near enough. Great ration this.

Kitbash. Have you reviewed any of the Boss survival bundle kits couldn’t find one?
Grape sugar is another name for glucose...those are quick energy tabs
I would love to try these kind of MRE's sit back and chill with a case .
5:59 Alright, let's get this all on a tray.*
Looks like cat food or dog food but doesn't taste like my question is is how do you have a frame of reference to know what cat food and dog food taste like.?
I bet most people who own a dog or a cat tasted the food themselves. I sure did. It's mostly tasteless
@@filipbartas576 😂😂😂
Give the Kitty some food!!! Poor baby wants a taste!!! :)
14:00 maybe Leberwurst Aufstrich (made of liver)?
Great review
Your long videos are so nice
Can you review the Surviveware72 hour emergency preparedness survival backpack. The kit looks awesome I think you would love it
yes
Great video!
The Peter Brown of MREs
Grape sugar is actually just that. The grape sugar or glucose. It is an "energy buster".
Maybe in the future, you can use your survival kits and show people how to use them effectively. What to do with the kit? Thanks for an informative channel.
Why do the cats get pate yet the dog doesn’t???
Part 4 on your survival kit video?
Majka is a brand, a traditional pate maker.
Thanks!
You should definitely give an SANFD MRE a try, you can get them on Serac whom supplies them. It's open for civilians to buy
Love the cat so docile had a room mate who had one super friendly.
Dip the bread in goulash 🤔
What’s the status on your survival bag videos
Part 4 is coming in the next week.
I think I have one of these I’m not sure of the menu I enjoyed the review my next one will be me trying a humanitarian ration for the first time

That just didn't seem like enough food for a soldier in the field.
If it’s in a cool dry place it’s going to be fine just ask Steve1989
I'm surprised you didn't put hot sauce on the pate

Pork patey = spam
so foreign troops eat better than ours, MRE's
Im laughing at expire.... Steve mre literally ate a mre from the civil war and you are worried about a month or 2?
So you will share wirh the cats but not the dog? For shame!
Expired? You call that expired? You need to give this one at least another 5 years before you call it expired. There are channels out there choking down rations that decades (as in plural) past their "expiration dates" that can be pretty damn entertaining.
Hilarious, you worried about the expiration date but not sharing your meal with your cat. Just NO. Not about a bad looking ration though.
We used engine compartment of trucks and heavy equipment to heat our food
Looks like a can of cat food 😅
