I've eaten many of these over my career Emmy!!
Few little tricks picked up over the years:
- don't use the bag for your juice. It's much better used as a dry bag to put your phone/camera/spare socks etc in!
- we usually open the main pack, take everything out of the boxes and repack the main pouch then it can roll up about half the size.
- each menu type is slightly different so we always swap things back and forth. Ie some come with jam some don't.
- if you place the bread pack (bag of pain lol) in the hot water for a bit it will steam the bread a little inside and make it much more edible.
Dave L are you a veteran?
Thx for serving our country 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
pain, you don't know the meaning of pain.
I don’t know about the Canadian peanut butter, but the American one will back you up for dayssss😩
Geez post from Dave L but it's not me, got confused for a second.
The "bag of pain" part had me giggling. 🙊 You know in Remember the Titans when Denzel Washington's character is yelling at the team during workouts? "WHAT IS PAIN?! FRENCH BREAD!" 😂
Oh my!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
+Savanna Lajoie I know... that was the joke in the movie, lol.
+lucyinthesky1991 it's ok. Sorry
Reese's pieces, two packs of peanut butter, hot chocolate?
Canadian military must really love peanut butter and chocolate. XD
Peanut butter is cheap protien
👾 It's good stuff. XD ( I'm from Canada.)
Peanut butter and chocolate are almost always military rations staples. Quick protein and calorie dense.
Emmy's always so optimistic, instead of being upset that the orange drink spilled.. she used it as an impromptu chance to try the napkin that came with the IMP (: I love optimism, I try to live my life this way! Also, a pig tailed Emmy is an adorable Emmy ^ _ ^
Life is even more beautiful if we choose to see it that way, no?
Oh, absolutely. It's easy to be negative and look for the bad in all situations, to see the world in a positive light may be more challenging but it's also more rewarding
Gayyyyy
that's a really good point
we canadians be so savage, that our military eats a bag of pain with every meal.
Pain means bread 🍞 in French you stupid fuck 😂😂😂 you’re savage for eating bread 🍞 okaaaay ...... it’s not 2016 ether savage lol
DarkLord PoChan it is actually full of preservatives so yeah I’ve had one and it tasted like shot 😂
@@user-qs1wm9tx6n You can't understand a simple joke yet he's the stupid fuck, lol ok
This comment section has no chill
@@user-qs1wm9tx6n you're rude and also r/wooooosh
Baxter's is a UK food company established 147 years ago. Most well known for their tinned soups, they also produce preserves and pickles, and now apparently MREs.
They made the same stuff for commercial same in the mid or late 80s. You could buy it at Loblaws, and the chicken a la king came with pasta in a mesh bag (like a giant teabag) so you could cook the pasta at the same time, in the same pot as the chicken and sauce.
Lol bag of pain
When you said ' bag of Pain ' i took me a while to get he joke since im french canadian haha
Moi aussi!
+mashalena bag of bread ?:)
Moi aussi! hahahaha je ne comprenais pas la blague
BKaitsuki if you were French Canadian you would spell Canadian like Canadien
tg341 she's not speaking French.
I was dying at 3:44 she was so calm tho
"Oh my gosh" her voice sounded so flat and unamused I died
Look! Another Juan! :)
SAMEEEEE
HAHAHA thought i was the only one who thought that was funny
Juan Rodriguez ahlie oml I was dying
You forgot to say, "Itadakimasu." My favorite part.
^^
IKR!
yeah
I know...
Me too!
so i don't know if anyone else does this, but i often like to guess emmy's reactions to the foods she tries right before she has them. there's something so fun about guessing the correct "hmm" or "mmhmm" with the right intonation.
I always click so fast when I see a military ration tasting. I love them.
I laughed so hard at "bag of pain". Emmy's so straightforward and professional in most of her videos that having a joke like that delivered cold just immediately broke me. Love it.
"Chaotic Opening" could totally be the name for a punk band.
they'd probably only ever be and opening act ://
+21locusts You're currently my hero.
+Snarky Grin LOL! i'm glad ❤❤❤
Was in the Canadian Infantry for eight years, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I hated the cherry cake dessert when I was in. I found the main entrees fine.
Lasagna was the best with a Marage bar and chocolate sandwich cookies from Dare.
This was the mid 90's.
I loved the bread and the Tube of PB (like a toothpaste tube).
I've had these in the field. Pro tip: Heat up the bread packet in hot water similar to the main meal. It will hydrate it a little and give it a better texture.
America MRE:Meal Ready to eat
Russian MRE:Meal Ready to eat you
Canada MRE:Say sorry before you eat
im dying 😂😂😂😂
😅 nice
😂😂😂😂😂 my sides are orbiting neptune 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm dead omfg 😂😂😂.
I don't get it

I'm always so happy to see content from you, you're very joy-communicative !
😆
emmymadeinjapan
We love you :D
+Nemeroth Haienak (Nemerroth) agreed!
+emmymadeinjapan Hi Emmy! I SO love your vids. You are such a sweetie! Can you explain the little things at the bottom of every description telling people-?-to comment a certain sentence? Please?I always thought chicken or turkey ala-king was served over noodles or potatoes but I could be confused lol! All in all it looked like a pretty nice meal for those serving their country. I hope you have some for the States. Maybe you already saud that. Sorry. I think its wonderful for civilians to know these things. To give a better understanding of all the little things these brave people sacrifice and to push for better and more filling when possible. Thankyou again Emmy!
+emmymadeinjapan emmy i looooove you my name is sarah from saudi arabeia
ahhh, Chicken a la King...reminds me of my days in Ottawa. Imagine chicken pot pie filling x10, fat, hard frozen veggies and cubes of some poor fowl. yumm!
I don't know why I sit here and watch someone eat random food. She's just so enjoyable to watch!
W00t Canada!!
I've eaten many of these as a teen in cadets although Chicken a la king was not one of the menu's back then. Also the company who made the main part of the meal I think was freddychef if I recall properly (long long time ago in the 90s :P )
Some of my favorites was sausages and hash browns (breakfast) , Cabbage rolls (lunch) Hungarian goulash and the chicken breast (it came in broth and you got a packet of stuffing to dump in YUM!
Back then the peanut butter and honey came in tubes and you could reseal it - I would eat peanut butter right out of the tube in winter as a snack to keep energy to stay warm! fond memories!
Oooh, the mix-you-own stuffing sounds fun.
We almost had fist fights over the beans and wieners! Lol
FreddyChef is now Baxters. They also own Wornick, one of the companies that make MREs for the US forces, so there will be Wornick branded entrees in Canadian IMPs now.
A fellow Cadet from the 90s! YAY! What element? Air, Army or Sea?
Former Air cadet here, SLC '96
Magic Pantry used to contract to the CF as well way back when. The lunch and dinner entrees were also available commercially in the mid 90s, with "pretty" packaging under the FreddyChef and Magic Pantry labels. The commercial packages only had the entree, no sundries and no dessert, but had more flavor variety. One of my favorites was the Polynesian Chicken with Rice. It had a package of boil-in-bag instant rice that you were supposed to cook up before you headed the entree pouch, and then mixed it in.
As always, dear lady, thank you.
My pleasure.
It is now 2:30 AM in British Columbia, Canada and I am still watching Emmy taste ration packs fro all over this world. I have been doing so for almost 2 hours. I didn't know there were so many. It's official - I am addicted to your ration pack tastings.
When she started eating the fruit cocktail and said that it wasn't that good I was like why don't you put some hot sauce on it lol
I'm not the only one then lol
+Randa Wilson lol yes
I remember seeing this video when it first came out and since my father is in the Canadian military I was so intrigued that something I’d seen before in my house was being looked at. My brother and I used to challenge each other to live off of the boxes if we were ever left alone for long enough so I’ve had many of the different variations. 2 years later of left over boxes making their way into my basement pantry and I’m still loving this video!!
Humid days call for pig tails, I have never clicked a video so fast
XD
Gummy TM XD
yay another mre! These videos are my favorite and i get so excited whenever you post these. you are awesome!
I have been enjoying your videos for years and they keep getting better!
PAIN IS BREAD IN FRENCH I'M DYING
you'll be okay. try reiki. eat organic. you'll be okay.
sorry, that was a "Lucy" reference i just made there. good movie. also, never doubt the usefulness of a medically trained physician.
Canada is like 35% French speaking tho and like 45% francophone
Dustin Williston Actually about 20% of Canadians speak French. And that's even including Quebec xP
Are you dying from eating too much "pain" today, Tachi!?!
Of all the people I've seen mix drinks in a bag, you were the last one I'd expect to spill it.
Well done Emmy :)
Omg so true! She always does everything perfect lol
Thank you! I do my best. 😊
I love watching you prepare the meals Emmie that you unconventionally "cook"!!! it's so intriguing and interesting to watch you prepare the drinks or meals or things and your wonderful at describing foods and so adventurous in trying new things, you're also so sweet and have such a kind personality!!!!! I love you so much Emmie!!!
Really love your videos! I learn a lot, and am introduced to so many different types of foods. Thanks!
PIG TAILS ITS SO CUTE!!!😘😘
+Rachel Cabrera IKR
+Rachel Cabrera me to
ikr I was fangirling to the max
As a Canadian, it was really cool to see what our military rations are like! Chicken a la King was one of my favourites as a little girl, and this looks pretty bang on! You should definitely give chicken a la king another try some day, home made is always better (:
I love the sound it makes every time you open each package Emmy 😊
thank you gundog!!! Love your tastings as well!!
I love to see Canadian stuff on here! Makes me proud to be Canadian hehe ^_^
Same!
Same!
I'm gonna be a Canadian in November 😭🎉
Marcus Brown YAY! Welcome to the family :D
Ayyyy same girl same
Thanks for a shoutout to the Canadians! Love your videos! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
My pleasure!
Was looking forwards for this video❤️
Jeeez, I stumbled on your video some how and you had me LOCKED with your vivid descriptions and ability to hold the viewers attention. Very cool channel, gonna stick around for awhile 👍
keep doing military rations every once and a while! such a nice perspective
🇨🇦 Emmy, your channel is cool and educational ; thanks for sharing this with your viewers 🇺🇸.
🍁👍👍🍁
Thank you for always putting a smile on my face. I wish you the best. Take care! :)
SO CLOSE TO 700K CONGRATSS!!!
I'm surprised that the cooking instructions called for a pan of boiling water. I would think that cookware would be a bit hard to come by in the field.
right?? my thoughts exactly. haha
When I was a Cadet in the mid 90s, CF-issue mess kits were square, and the perfect size for 1/4" of lee-way for one of the IMP packets. We'd use a campfire, Sterno stove (I had a little square one that ran on solid fuel pellets that was small enough to fit inside my mess kit) or any other portable stove. The other option was to toss your IMP entree into the communal 20 gallon pot and let it cook for 10 minutes., because the water never did get to a boil. Back then my preferred IMPs were the Sausage and Hashbrown breakfast, Shepherd's Pie, Chili Con Carne, and Pork Cutlet in Tomato Sauce for lunch/supper.
The Army issues pressure cookers to cook IMPs in winter times. During the summer you can use the chemical warmers that are included in the IMP boxes.
there are thermal packs incase you don't have a pan around. comes differently
also you'd be surprised, as much as possible if the area is safe enough they'll send cooks out. A pan isn't too much and is usable depending on the situation
i really wish i could know why videos like these get downvotes..... doesnt deserve a downvote by any means imo.
Awesome review! Keep pumping out the military rations :)
I love how you describe the food so well. That's what I love about your channel! :)
I've never seen anyone who's done such an in depth review on a resees candy xD
I know right xDDD
The CocaineBear its really in depth
I laughed so hard at the bag of pain!
I love your reaction everytime you have chocolate. Xx you can tell your a fan. The most unirritable likeable calming blogger ever. I line these videos up I'm obsessed with IMPs. Your great Emmy thanks for your existance. Xxx
I know this is really late, but we used to heat up our bread in the lot of boiling water too (before unwrapping). It really improves the texture! I remember it was through IMPs that I first tasted chilli, and cabbage rolls. Each year there would be a set of maybe 5 choices produced per mealtime, so if you were eating from a certain year you got the same choices again and again...but as a cadet we were given the old leftovers, so we got a variety of production years (not yet expired). We were always told to crack open the candy bar in half to make sure it hadn't gone off ☺
I love this series! I find myself constantly rewatching the play list because there's something satisfying about these videos.
Sweet!
I hope you are aware that you are the first name on my nicest people ever!
and the Juice is an electrolyte drink with around 25 to 30 grams of sugar
Thank you Emmy! Great job!
This packaging is awesome, simple and modern. I love how you always comment on the graphic design of things you eat
"a bag of pain" lmaaaoooo
Your MRE videos are so much better than anyone else's, you actually leave me wanting to try them too - even if they aren't very good. :)
She isn't MRE
+Sebastian Lmfao xD
+Sebastian lol
I'm sure you never make mistakes, huh?
same, i get hungry even tough MRE's are suposed to taste bad
I love how even if you're familiar with a flavor, you still describe it in detail as well 😊
Emmy your are my favorite TH-camr. Your sweet, genuine and informative ❤️
Surprised they didn't put maple syrup in the pack :/
They are all different, there are some that do
The breakfast menu items usually do.
Guys...I think he was joking lol Maple syrup? Canada?
I hope it is the REAL Maple syrup straight from the tree! Not Aunt Jemima because, yes! It is CANADA!!!!
It’s pricy
oh the coffee some of us make ranger cookies... take coffee the dry creamer and sugar add a tiny bit of water to make a paste and cook on a flat surface so they are coffee cookies.. personally i drink the coffee...
that sounds dope
a bunch of the time people just pack a lip of coffee
Yasss I've been craving another MRE vid thanks Emmy
You're welcome.
Your hair looks really cute. Always enjoying your vids. Ty!
Emmy, I am so sorry you didn't get a good IMP(no fault on the sender, he rocks too).
Chicken a la King.....wow, we have so much better to offer!
I guess I'll have to try another one then! 😄
OMG YOU WERE ON TASTEMADE'S SNAPCHAT ❤❤❤❤
Yay!
My favorite type of videos to watch❤️❤️
It was super interesting!! :) glad you loved it! Hello from Canada! 😄😄
Did Emmy say "alright down the hatch" instead of "itaddakimasu"?
For some odd reason it makes the video feel weird.
Please do more prison foods!!!
I literally lol'd because of Emmy's reaction to the beverage bag bursting open. Too hilarious
Finally a Canadian video!!! Love your videos Emmy!!!!
Nice knife. Total classic. You just moved way up on my super cool as shit ladder. Opinel & pigtails. A dream match made in heaven. Beautiful.
Canadians run on sugar
taylor sheldon true 😂
That's why we issue the troop bags of Pain. Helps balance things out a little.
Maple sugar, to be precise.
Sounds like me -.-
Sugar and coffee
If you ever find an IMP with the pineapple drink powder you should definitely give it a try! It's just sweet enough to be refreshing!
Humid days call for pigtails, I love everything you do Emmy!!
U should make an asrm video! Your voice is so relaxing.
asmr?
yesss
Goat Yandere yeees!! go to watch asmr videos!
Diana Paramore I have
+Goat Yandere very weird at first, but once you get used to it, it is amazing
i thought green was spearmint.
Love the dramatic music intro for the Canadia episode! They are a country to be wary of...
:) fun video
Her voice is so calming. Unbelievably calming
you forgot to say "Itadakimasu"
What's does that mean ?
+edgar araiza Something like cheers in Japanese
+vamshi p I feel like u copied and pasted that off google because the same paragraph was used 😂
***** Itadakimasu means lets eat. Gochisosamadeshita means thanks for the meal. you do know japanese right?
+Uchiha イタチ and kampai! Means lets drink
I just stumbled on this channel and see that you use an Opinel knife. Fantastic taste, you earned a subscription.
You're pigtails are absolutely darling. chicken a la king is so good when you make it yourself. Love your videos!
Her voice is so gentle. I could fall asleep to her voice because it's so soothing.
Emmy!!! You look soooo pretty!!
YOU ARE SO CUTE ❤❤❤
Why u lyingggg
I love watching these! I used to dislike putting a lot of hot sauce in my food, but seeing Emmy put it in almost everything just made me want to put it in all my food too, and that's exactly what I did, haha.
It does make food taste a bit better.
Love these more plz!! ✨✨
Idk if anyone has said this to you before during these videos but you should eat the way we would in the field. Without the use of the bowls and cups and pots. Makes it better to review.
Yep, did it here: th-cam.com/video/8K2MDHWT8O8/w-d-xo.html
I think most of the time she does it this way because its easier to show what the bags contain on camera the bowl or plate makes a backround so the camera can focus easier
anyone want a bag of pain ???
Neferti Sukarto yes please 😂😂😂
Neferti Sukarto how many slices and is it demsters lol😂😂😂😂😂 jk
No, those are gross. The tortillas are way better
I always love watching your reactions to the foods you taste :)
Your descriptions are elaborate and awesome
it comes with hot chocolate? wow very canadian of us...
These MRE's need to reviewed for what they are. They are not meant to be a gourmet meal, so don't eat it thinking it is something it is not.
It is just meant to be a meal replacement in the field not fine dining.
If you get hungry enough, you would wolf it down and enjoy it.
It still has to be appetizing. If you gave anyone, even the most combat-hardened infantryman a steaming bag of what looked and smelled like dog shit, he'd probably opt to go hungry no matter how nutritious it might be.
How about the vegetable omelette though I don't think it's on the menu anymore. Nobody wants to eat that no matter how hungry.
When you're fighting or training a decent meal goes a long way. they could technically just give energy bars, but you have to think about keeping up morale.
The Canadian government actually puts a lot of effort to make rations better... the troops morale is directly attached to food
Napolean knew the truth, 'an army marches on its stomach. ' This saying, which attests to the importance of forces being well-provisioned, has been attributed to both Napoleon and Frederick the Great. It is recorded in English from the early 20th century.
Emmy, well done this is a great video. It really shows the IMP in great detail. I've never been able to try one, I've mostly had British 24 hour rations and US MREs. Field rations are never going to compete with proper home cooking, but believe me, when you are out in the field and cold and wet and hungry, they are very welcome and much improved over the last 25 years. Great to see you are in comms with Gundog. Keep up the good work!
I love your videos so much!
your vids are so interesting glad I found you !
your videos help me sleep, your voice is so soothing 😆
I laughed so hard when she spilled the drink that I went back and re-watched it 😄
I love these MRE tastings!
