    Always nice to see you do a video with Ashens. 😁
    Also, Barry, just a side note: the *"Sambal"* thing is basically an Indonesian version of a hot sauce/condiment (source: I'm Indonesian). I honestly never expected it to be in a British MRE. Lol
    Oh, and I don't really recommend eating it by itself; like you said, you definitely need to mix it with other food. 😅

    I’ve been subscribed to this channel for a number years, 6 years to be precise.
    I’ll be honest, recently your videos haven’t hit my fancy (not trying to hate just wanna give some feedback). The first video I watched and subscribed from was when you uploaded the giant toffifee. Not saying you should stick to that style of content.
    But It’s nice to see you experimenting more with the cheap vs expensive concept. But I’d love to see a new series eventually about cheap vs expensive ingredients/products and seeing if Ms B and/or yourself (with her buying certain ingredients for you to guess) in a take turns format and see who guesses the most correct.

    In regards to the calories, I can tell you that when you're out in the ulu, working on operational hours, so lots of effort and next to no sleep, typically I would rarely have the time to actually eat three meals and would always have lots of spare left over, and I always lost significant amounts of weight too, no matter how much you tried shoving down your neck.
    In my time, I started off with the cold war rations, in tins, good old bacon grill and chicken supreme with boil in the bag rice, and the newer pouches came in about the mid '90s, with far more menu varieties than there were before.
    The biscuits brown, as bland as they are, were always eaten, because you knew just how important the fibre was for your system, and typically you'd only poop every 2-3 days anyway.
    Some extras worth having with you would be tabasco or similar hot sauce and curry powder.

      Oddly I don't remember pears. The hot chocolate was always banging (both old and new ORPs), such a shame the garibaldi biscuits didn't continue in the new rations; but glad to see the back of cheese possessed and whatever was in the pate/dogfood.

    "what is Sambal" is the opening to a good old fashioned fight on the internet :) hosted by Uncle Roger. At the absolute bottom of the list, and quite tasty too, is 4 ingredients combined in equal measure. Tomato Paste (or ketchup packets), Garlic Paste (or garlic sauce packets), Hot or Sweet Pepper Tapenade (or hot sauce packets) and Butter (or butter packets ... yes Ive done it with restaurant packets many times). Melt the butter, add the other three, let to sizzle in concert and you are good to go. Add it to a pile of shrimps on skewers and put them on the BBQ, paint some salmon stakes and again BBQ but really the list goes on. At the simplest, Tomato, Pepper, Garlic and Butter and it only goes more complicated/hotter from there (my local Dutch shop has a shelf with at least 9 different variations on the theme).

    Sambal is Indonesian chilli.

Raw on its own, it packs a big punch. Inside something like that pasta, it's a new level.

    Meals Reluctant to Exit is another (joke) version I've heard. MRE is only the US military name, generically they're just rations.

      Strangely enough, the "biscuits brown" in our ration packs are nicknamed "arse-stoppers" by the troops. After a couple of weeks on compo, you generally do one or two "shovels recce's" (empty your guts) per week. Also, after the initial period on rations, you become bunged up and your first "movement" is known as "a pringles sh*t" because...once you pop, you can't stop!
      Oh, and sad to see they appear to have gotten rid of my favourite item from the rations - cat's arses. (if you know, you know...)

    The attraction of the British ORPs for campers hikers etc, first of all is cost, when compared to the outrageous cost of the likes of one meal pouch of Wayfarer or Firepot at £5-£8, but also the nutrition levels at only 550 calories that they have, compared to the ORPs

    you are better off using the "Biscuit Brown" as extra bulletproofing than to eat it. the ones in this pack look different to the ones we use to get. you can actually bite these new ones.
    back in my day, there use to be a "Yorkie Bar" in the pack. those that are old enough to remember, they use to have a red circle with a line through over the outline of a woman. with text saying "not for women", as it was marketed as a chocolate bar for men. the one in the MRE had the same circle, but said "not for Civvy's".

    I kinda hope that Stu does those outdated American MREs at some point. Or at the very least passes them along to that Steve guy, so we can experience that all-important nice hiss.
    All in all, pretty good-quality rations.
