Yes, and apparently all you have to do is heat it up and you are good-to-go! They found honey in the Pyramids and is was supposed to be still good to eat.
Real honey actually should crystalize, fake honey usually doesnt. if you want do decrystalize it, you heat it in a steam bath to around 40 degrees Celsius and it should be smooth again.
+Grove332 Yep, I agree, real honey crystalized. You can also just put the jar or whatever in some warm water for a while and it will have the same effect.
+SchaumaMan real honey doesn't expire, but the container often does, if it is in plastic long enough, it may have some chemicals or other things contaminating it. The thing is, it doesn't expire, it gets contaminated.
There is no need to heat up the smaller cans :) The bigger one of them, "konserwa tyrolska", is a type of luncheon meat, the standard way of eating it is just slice it down in the can, take it out slice by slice, and put on the bread. The smaller one "mielonka drobiowa" looks like pate to me :) Just spread it. The beverages are the type of granulated, instant tea; citrus and raspberry flavour. Kids like to eat it dry, without the water :) The honey is a real honey. Natural honey crystalizes when it gets older. You could heat it a little to be liquid. It was realli nice to hear you talking in superlatives about this polish ration :) It made my day ^^
the most sh.t is the product are same of biedronka :))) krakus with his cans and pack of ready meals are the same and instant tea and only one who you cant get in hydrolysed fruit :)).
fake honey can cristalize after 3 months too - just mix glucose, fructose and water in right proportions, it also depends on temperature ... Liquid natural honey can also be "creamed" its a process that makes crystalisation longer...
This actually looks really good, food like this is really nice to have after a hard day of fighting and a real morale booster. Those cups are really nice to have too, I know they are rare for rations and bags are sometimes used as substitutes for liquid holders. Really great ration!
+Kiwi Dude Hehe, thank you! My Polish half does feel surprisingly proud. And my German half was too. You seemed to be quite fond of those rations as well (especially the bread :P) - as was The Boss. By the way, loved the annotation edits.
+Maciej Kowalski no ale skąd miał wiedzieć? Na początku ogarnął że to chyba coś pasztetopodobnego ale potem postanowił podgrzać. :P No chuj, nie miał pojęcia więc się nie ma co dopierdalać.
here in Poland we like to joke about the Suchary Specjalne, that they use these for tank armour, that there are only three materials known to man that surpass the diamond in terms of hardness - Nokia 3310, Chuck Norris' beard and Suchary Specjalne SR-1, and so on. By the way, you can't easily get them in regular grocery stores, they're pretty much sold only in MRE-s.
I agree with you about this ration, KiwiDude. To state it another way, if my American sons were in the military I would want them to have a ration like this. High quality food, nicely made and thought out, and a lot of it. Looks like the Polish people care about their troops.
+Daniel Taylor This is the second Polish ration I've had now and it's great to see a positive theme flowing from the single meal rations through to the 24hr packs. It's the little touches that make all the difference. This would rate in my 'top 5' of 24hr packs.
+Daniel Taylor Funny (sad) thing is Polish soldiers traded their food with US soldiers on missions for their used stuff, like bulletpoof vests or Sapi plates.
I find these very interesting to watch and yummy. It makes me want to stock up on these mre's for emergencies. I found your channel from watching Steve1989 mre info. Keep the interesting mre's coming.
I really don't think that You can fight one kind of fanaticism with a different kind of fanaticism, but this is not the place for this sort of discussion.
You couldn't be more accurate. In fact in Poland there is still a lot of people who have their own bee hives (not sure if this is a proper name). Since it doesn't require much attention, people maintain them after working hours. Most of them keep about 5-10% of the production for themselves and their relatives, selling the rest on the market. It isn't difficult to get a real honey in Poland, although recent problems with around the world bees depopulation, was also noticed in there.
Hi Kiwi Dude, Somehow, through the mystery of the TH-cam algorithm, your old video popped up. I always enjoyed watching your videos, so this is like a blast from the past. I hope your wife has forgiven you for burning her cutting board. Say Hi to Crystal (I hope I spelled her name right). Cheers from Canada :-)
Two things: Yes, those are caraway seed! Cumin is typically a powder and has a flavour akin to armpits, while caraway has a pleasant, mildly earthy flavour that adds a nice bit of something to breads. Secondly: Its pretty normal for honey to crystalize like that, especially if its hot, cold or has been in a package for too long. Still perfectly safe to eat! We've kept bees for a long time and I've never seen honey go bad. I don't think it can.
watching those reviews remind me of time when i was around 7 i think, and in Poland we had this huuuuuge flood. it got to my house, it pretty much destroyed everything. we had to go to red cross for food, and it looked like military rations. i always looked for ones with candy inside :DDD
+mallariasart while those military rations are so huge, im sitting here thinking. Poland is kinda demilitarized. young guys dont go to army anymore. and Yet we have THE WORST food in hospitals... (which are public, and i pay taxes for it, so you would think people at least would have something nice to eat) But no. Its totall crap. o.O literally...
+mallariasart Well our government believes that we don't need people who are capable to fight anymore. Good old days when most of young men goes for basic military training. To dumb for colledge? Basic military training! To lazy for work? Basic military training.
Every time I watch one of your (or Gundog's or GSchultz's) videos I have this urge to go down to the basement, grab something at random from the "cache" and give it a taste test. Hey Kiwi Dude... there is some stuff for the Boss in the one from Canada that is time sensitive!
+Kiwi Dude I had several of these bars from a German ration and dutifully peeled the rice paper on each one. Just learned was a dunce I was when I saw this!
I watched the canadian pack before this vid and we can clearly see a difference in the amount proteins betweem the two packs. The polish one contains a lot more proteins than the canadian one, the Can one has more carbs. Also the quality of carbs in the Polish one is better with honey, dried fruits, rough bread. But ye a lot more protein in here
+Baneheart666 I'm well aware what asmr is, the asmr reddit brought me to his videos. But I don't even get asmr from it! I just watch it and can't friggin' stop!
I'm quite sure you just heated what we call leverpastej in Swedish witch is a "pate" that you have on bread or just eat as it is. The point is that it's served cold. 😜
The hardtack has caraway seeds baked in. The reason some people said it has cumin is in polish language caraway translates to "kminek". Kminek -> Cumin. Easy mistake to make. Cumin on the other hand is "kmin" in polish, a completely different spice.
Hey kiwi dude love the videos! Just a quick thing - there was nothing particularly strange about the honey - in fact it's closer to how 'real' raw honey looks (it can crystallize a little over time). Seems it may actually be some half decent quality stuff they put in this ration, not that highly processed crap most people think is honey that looks like syrup in a squeezy tube!
I was super excited to have a new video this morning! My kids and I are thinking about making our version of an mre. just in the planning phases. Should be interesting to see what a 7 and 9 year old think we should include.
+Cynthia Plummer Sounds like a great project for you and the kids. I'm sure it'll be awesome. Perhaps you can eat the homemade MRE's during a backyard campout ;-)
In real honey the sugar crystalises over time, or when it gets cold. Just warm it up a bit and it'll be smooth and golden again! It's still safe to eat, nothing wrong with it at all!
Crystallization is something normal as a good quality honey can crystallize itself after very short period of time( sometimes even 2 weeks after picking). Everything depends on the amount of glucose. Nice reviews, good job!.
"Might have to do more translation" LOL! I agree with the what-is-it meats, at least with the actual military SR-G. There are codes to help you decipher if you know how to read them. The Arpol versions have labels to help you figure stuff out. These SR, SR-G's are top notch and I'm a fan of them too. Cheers KD!
Haha, you heated and ate the tyrolean straight from the can :D Glad you realised that you need to put in on a crisp bread :) It's normal for honey to crystallize, the honey that is sold in shops actually had to be liquified. (Liquification can actually destroy the nutritiens if done poorly).
Most of canned food in Poland are made of pork and eventually some chicken or turkey; beef is hardly to be seen :D and as you say the canned meat looks better and is in better shape, yes it is, but it is heavier aswell : ) BTW both of the drinks were 'tea', it literally says "tea concentrate" but its more or less ice tea, one is lemon flavor, second would be raspberry. The Kofik candy isn't just coffee flavored, but contains caffeine so is good on the run. AH ! and the "bitter chocolate" is just roughly translated from polish, since we call "Dark Chocolate" - "Gorzka Czekolada" which literally means "bitter~" Have fun with rest of the foreing rations, congratz on eating the 'paper' this time (saves a lot of time, huh?:D), and keep up the good job reviewing :) hope to see more soon, cheers!
21:14 In polish Cumin and Caraway means the same -> Kminek. In fact caraway is a type of cumin. 25:40 It's not rice paper - it's wafer (water and flour) same as in christian comunion or like in proper Nuremberg gingerbread Pate and Konserwa Tyrolska are better cold :) Oh, both of this drinks are instat tea - CYTRYNOWA is lemon and MALINOWA is raspberry, 17:47 there was something wrong with this one, it must be dry, even after 2 years after BB date. And last but not least, fruits are better if you leave them in bag and put little bit hot water inside.
Kiwi Dude Glad to hear and yep, I'm doing great :) I'm curious, have you ever had any rations from the Defence Forces in Ireland? We have such a tiny military that I'm not even sure if there is a specifical Irish one or whether it's just imported from a larger country ala Britain or Germany. Love your vids :)
Kiwi Dude I just Googled it and indeed Ireland makes its own rations, seems to all be managed by An Óglaigh na hÉireann (Defence Forces). The choices in terms of mains seem to be Beef Casserole, Irish Stew, Chicken Curry, or a vegetarian option. I personally wouldn't mind some stew myself 😁😁 Other things are instant soup, ramen noodles, oatmeal block, a protein bar, brown and fruit biscuits, sweets, and drink mixes. + Dessert (chocolate pudding, syrup pudding, fruit dumplings) and a mint bar and fruit lozenges. Seems to include other stuff which seems fairly standard and also plasters and something called "foot powder" which I'm not entirely sure what it is! With the exception of Irish Stew would that sound fairly standard or does anything stand out?
+Kiwi Dude My guess is Alan S is from the Republic of Ireland, a free state that is not part of the United Kingdom. I'd be interested in Irish rations too. Dan
Panzer-waffel. Haha 😂. I tried them. If one has dentures then the hammer 🔨 is needed to brake it up. Honey crystallization is no problem. Warm it up & voila. After good meal a cigarette is in order & this MRE doesn't have it 😔. Anyhow I am hungry now. How much per package? And can I get it on Amazon?
+icey Lol..I used to think all sachet instant coffees were created equal. I've now had so many through rations I'm beginning to taste differences. You'll be replacing your milk with powdered creamer soon enough too ;-)
Honey is cristalized, one can fix with and make it liquid again just by heating it to 35-40 °C for a time. Thanks for the nice video - i like the part when you use the field heating parts of the ration in your vid.
If I remember good, the small can is pork with chicken spam and the bigger one is pork, all the cans have nummbers on them printed and you can read from the paper list what's inside(it's in polish , sorry:), the best one is SRG4 with bigos or the one with beans with kiełbasa, I belive SRG2, sometimes instead of small can of spam you get a pate. If have questions, feel free to ask
Just to clarify - the two smaller cans with meat are not supposed to be heated - we eat them cold - sliced and put straight on the bread. And both teas - HOT WATER! NOT COLD! XD Nice video btw.
+kiwi dude you can download the Google translate app and put camera mode and it will give you a pretty good translation if you are doing more of these MRE reviews from different countrys
FYI, part of the reason more mre kits don't include freeze dried fruits (as well as other freeze dried products) is that without a lot of water, they can actually cause gut obstructions. Americans mres actually have a little warning on the side of the freeze dried fruit instructing you to either reconstitute it first or to drink it with lots and lots of water.
real cool videos I'm new to your channel but me and my wife both like it and if you don't mind me asking what is you native language. I'm an American form California just wanted to say awesome work and hope you get some great MRE's
The Tyrolean corned meat is usually pork. I'm assuming the one you had in the ration was called "Mielonka Tyrolska", or something very similar in your menu. It's quite popular in Poland even as a civilian canned food for hikers etc. Not sure about NZ, but you can get the civilian version in shops as far out as the UK. They're also usually surprisingly cheap, for a fairly solid tin size, might be worth looking out for, if you enjoyed the taste.
I got to check that dried fruit label/description, "liofilizowanych", I'm Polish and this was the first time I ever saw this word being used, turns out It's a sophisticated way to say "freeze-dried" :D
that very thindelicate bags... in germany we have the same. we use them here to put bread for school or work into. instead of paper bags or lunch boxes. at least smaller ones. maybe they have a similar purpose there, too.

Real honey crystalises.
that honey was crystalised lol
Yes, and apparently all you have to do is heat it up and you are good-to-go! They found honey in the Pyramids and is was supposed to be still good to eat.
Real honey looks like that. In Canada we pasteurize and add water ... other countries may do the same.
Honey doesn't spoil, the sugar has just crystallized out of the solution.
Real honey actually should crystalize, fake honey usually doesnt. if you want do decrystalize it, you heat it in a steam bath to around 40 degrees Celsius and it should be smooth again.
+SchaumaMan Only pasturised real honey crystalises
***** Nope, doesn't have to be pasteurised.
t. my grandmother is a beekeeper.
+Grove332 Yep, I agree, real honey crystalized. You can also just put the jar or whatever in some warm water for a while and it will have the same effect.
+SchaumaMan real honey doesn't expire, but the container often does, if it is in plastic long enough, it may have some chemicals or other things contaminating it. The thing is, it doesn't expire, it gets contaminated.
There is no need to heat up the smaller cans :)
The bigger one of them, "konserwa tyrolska", is a type of luncheon meat, the standard way of eating it is just slice it down in the can, take it out slice by slice, and put on the bread. The smaller one "mielonka drobiowa" looks like pate to me :) Just spread it.
The beverages are the type of granulated, instant tea; citrus and raspberry flavour. Kids like to eat it dry, without the water :)
The honey is a real honey. Natural honey crystalizes when it gets older. You could heat it a little to be liquid.
It was realli nice to hear you talking in superlatives about this polish ration :) It made my day ^^
+avarill Thanks for the additional info! Really impressed with this ration, it stands up among the best.
+Kiwi Dude and if you add warm water to this tea it will be much better and easier to dissolve, it's kind of very sweet when all is dissolved.
This instant tea is every polish childhood flavor
the most sh.t is the product are same of biedronka :))) krakus with his cans and pack of ready meals are the same and instant tea and only one who you cant get in hydrolysed fruit :)).
Natural honey crystalayz after 3 months, if you but in shoop liquid honey thats need to be very fresh, or just fake.
fake honey can cristalize after 3 months too - just mix glucose, fructose and water in right proportions, it also depends on temperature ... Liquid natural honey can also be "creamed" its a process that makes crystalisation longer...
This actually looks really good, food like this is really nice to have after a hard day of fighting and a real morale booster. Those cups are really nice to have too, I know they are rare for rations and bags are sometimes used as substitutes for liquid holders. Really great ration!
The Polish really know how to take care of their soldiers.

The sugar in the honey crystallized. You just need to heat up a bit to return it normal consistency.

Thanks Kiwi Dude for another informative video. As always I really enjoy them.
Great to hear! Cheers Mate.

+Jacek Neumann Powinieneś być dumny. Polska stanowi doskonałą racja żywnościowa.
+Kiwi Dude yaaaaay you know polish
No it isn't. It just makes no sense to put good quality meat into cans...
With a healthy dose of racism, homophobia, and religious nuttery...
I really don't think that You can fight one kind of fanaticism with a different kind of fanaticism, but this is not the place for this sort of discussion.
natural unprocessed honey tends to crystalise.
At least Kiwi was not trying to peel off the crystals out of honey HAHAHA :d
+swirekster Lol!

Oh that looked like a proper ration and I'm glad you liked it. greetings from a Pole

Nice review Kiwi. Makes me want to go and order some rations !
The honey is just crystallized. It just shows it was a natural, genuine honey and not a synthetic one. :)
Long time old bud. Ain't seen that board in awhile. I'm in poland right. And it's nice to see what my counterpart eats. Thanks for the vid
nice spot on with the MRE reviews again
btw kiwi, the stove gets bent 2 legs to keep it from burning on the board and 2 to hold the can while cooking
watching those reviews remind me of time when i was around 7 i think, and in Poland we had this huuuuuge flood. it got to my house, it pretty much destroyed everything. we had to go to red cross for food, and it looked like military rations. i always looked for ones with candy inside :DDD

My kids and I are thinking about making our version of an mre. just in the planning phases. Should be interesting to see what a 7 and 9 year old think we should include.
+Cynthia Plummer Sounds like a great project for you and the kids. I'm sure it'll be awesome. Perhaps you can eat the homemade MRE's during a backyard campout ;-)
+Kiwi Dude we may take them on a real campout. Our tent won't fit in our yard lol
In real honey the sugar crystalises over time, or when it gets cold. Just warm it up a bit and it'll be smooth and golden again! It's still safe to eat, nothing wrong with it at all!
+Kelsey Snyder Thanks.
Nice review, however missing the Bosses touch.
Still it did look really tasty
+Paul Lunn Thanks. She'll be on the next ones :-)
I sure enjoy dried fruit. Dried apricot is my favorite, I think.
Crystallization is something normal as a good quality honey can crystallize itself after very short period of time( sometimes even 2 weeks after picking). Everything depends on the amount of glucose. Nice reviews, good job!.
Nice commentary as always.:)
+kelvin serasi Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
"Might have to do more translation" LOL! I agree with the what-is-it meats, at least with the actual military SR-G. There are codes to help you decipher if you know how to read them. The Arpol versions have labels to help you figure stuff out. These SR, SR-G's are top notch and I'm a fan of them too. Cheers KD!
+gundog4314 Cheers Gundog. I was stoked with the quality, quantity and attention to detail. it's 2 for 2 on the Polish experiences!
Haha, you heated and ate the tyrolean straight from the can :D Glad you realised that you need to put in on a crisp bread :)
It's normal for honey to crystallize, the honey that is sold in shops actually had to be liquified. (Liquification can actually destroy the nutritiens if done poorly).
mieszanka owoców liofilizowanych + hot water + 4 minutes = nice food
You know who I missed, but still a great video :) What a nice sunday morning surprise for us :)
+Anita Nagy I promise she'll be in the next one :-)
+Kiwi Dude Yeaaahh :))) Is that... tomorrow? Maybe? :D :D
+Anita Nagy I would love to say yes, but realistically - unlikely. Soon though :-)
Dammit... But I still cant wait :)
Most of canned food in Poland are made of pork and eventually some chicken or turkey; beef is hardly to be seen :D
and as you say the canned meat looks better and is in better shape, yes it is, but it is heavier aswell : )
BTW both of the drinks were 'tea', it literally says "tea concentrate" but its more or less ice tea, one is lemon flavor, second would be raspberry. The Kofik candy isn't just coffee flavored, but contains caffeine so is good on the run. AH ! and the "bitter chocolate" is just roughly translated from polish, since we call "Dark Chocolate" - "Gorzka Czekolada" which literally means "bitter~"
Have fun with rest of the foreing rations, congratz on eating the 'paper' this time (saves a lot of time, huh?:D), and keep up the good job reviewing :)
hope to see more soon, cheers!
+Kamil Migas Thanks for the additional info :-) Was great to conquer the 'paper' demons finally.
21:14 In polish Cumin and Caraway means the same -> Kminek. In fact caraway is a type of cumin.
25:40 It's not rice paper - it's wafer (water and flour) same as in christian comunion or like in proper Nuremberg gingerbread
Pate and Konserwa Tyrolska are better cold :) Oh, both of this drinks are instat tea - CYTRYNOWA is lemon and MALINOWA is raspberry,
17:47 there was something wrong with this one, it must be dry, even after 2 years after BB date.
And last but not least, fruits are better if you leave them in bag and put little bit hot water inside.
It's fanny watching it when you are from Poland :D
no racja :D
ej, piszesz funny bo fanny znaczy coś zupełnie innego - bardziej przyziemnego i jest to część kobiety LOOOL. Dość schowana część....
I was so happy to see you've uploaded again. Welcome back man, hope you're keeping well! :)
+Alan S Cheers Alan. We're well, thanks. Hope you and yours are too.
Kiwi Dude Glad to hear and yep, I'm doing great :) I'm curious, have you ever had any rations from the Defence Forces in Ireland? We have such a tiny military that I'm not even sure if there is a specifical Irish one or whether it's just imported from a larger country ala Britain or Germany. Love your vids :)
+Alan S I've not had anything from Ireland. I would assume they'd be the same as the British M.O.D issue?
Kiwi Dude I just Googled it and indeed Ireland makes its own rations, seems to all be managed by An Óglaigh na hÉireann (Defence Forces). The choices in terms of mains seem to be Beef Casserole, Irish Stew, Chicken Curry, or a vegetarian option. I personally wouldn't mind some stew myself 😁😁 Other things are instant soup, ramen noodles, oatmeal block, a protein bar, brown and fruit biscuits, sweets, and drink mixes. + Dessert (chocolate pudding, syrup pudding, fruit dumplings) and a mint bar and fruit lozenges. Seems to include other stuff which seems fairly standard and also plasters and something called "foot powder" which I'm not entirely sure what it is! With the exception of Irish Stew would that sound fairly standard or does anything stand out?
+Kiwi Dude My guess is Alan S is from the Republic of Ireland, a free state that is not part of the United Kingdom. I'd be interested in Irish rations too. Dan
Panzer-waffel. Haha 😂.
I tried them. If one has dentures then the hammer 🔨 is needed to brake it up.
Honey crystallization is no problem. Warm it up & voila.
After good meal a cigarette is in order & this MRE doesn't have it 😔. Anyhow I am hungry now.
How much per package? And can I get it on Amazon?
Panzerwafel actually may be used as a hammer.:)
yes u can
wel you can used them as tool to dig out trench
Skogarr
@Fejasso So you can break one panzerwaffel with another panzerwaffel? What if you run out of panzerwaffels?
Wisniewski is a surname, you'v hidden the name xD
+Gzyms But it's a popular name so that is not a problem I think :D
Who gives a fuck?
Easy there cute keyboard marauder.
It looks like name was Przemysław :P
How come this guy only has 60k subs?
This is a well thought out ration with the paper cups and the plastic lids to keep the bugs,water,or snow out of the can.
Watching you make so many coffees over these videos has turned me into drinking coffee. I was a hardcore tea drinker once.
+icey Lol..I used to think all sachet instant coffees were created equal. I've now had so many through rations I'm beginning to taste differences. You'll be replacing your milk with powdered creamer soon enough too ;-)
I'm proud of you for not peeling this ;)
Where's the boss ? I was looking forward to her verdict ? Anyway, nice review, it looks like Poland did a good job with their rations !
Thanks
Wow! Thanks heaps, Sis. Unexpected surprise. Hope you're doing well. Cheers.
@@KiwiDudeMRE hahaha, just love your posts 💓🙏😁👍😁🙏💓
Honey is cristalized, one can fix with and make it liquid again just by heating it to 35-40 °C for a time. Thanks for the nice video - i like the part when you use the field heating parts of the ration in your vid.
I need to try that ration. It,s big and i think its so tasty. Impresive..
yes I love your videos so much
If I remember good, the small can is pork with chicken spam and the bigger one is pork, all the cans have nummbers on them printed and you can read from the paper list what's inside(it's in polish , sorry:), the best one is SRG4 with bigos or the one with beans with kiełbasa, I belive SRG2, sometimes instead of small can of spam you get a pate. If have questions, feel free to ask
Just to clarify - the two smaller cans with meat are not supposed to be heated - we eat them cold - sliced and put straight on the bread. And both teas - HOT WATER! NOT COLD! XD Nice video btw.
+kiwi dude you can download the Google translate app and put camera mode and it will give you a pretty good translation if you are doing more of these MRE reviews from different countrys
translate from English to Polish ? huh not in google translate
+Erty it is ,btw I was talking about moblie
32:40 - Looks like Dog the Bounty Hunter standing facing right on the bottom left side of the bean compartment. Cant unsee
that paper stuff is nice, they used to sell all kinds of flavours when i was a kid, big sheets too
FYI, part of the reason more mre kits don't include freeze dried fruits (as well as other freeze dried products) is that without a lot of water, they can actually cause gut obstructions. Americans mres actually have a little warning on the side of the freeze dried fruit instructing you to either reconstitute it first or to drink it with lots and lots of water.
I like watch you when you oupen mre. Great video. Thanks for you, you take mre from my country
+zielny You should be proud. Polish rations are awesome :-)
+Kiwi Dude thx man
This seeds in suchary (biscuits) are caraway seeds. Good for digestion.
thanks for liking our MRE
real cool videos I'm new to your channel but me and my wife both like it and if you don't mind me asking what is you native language. I'm an American form California just wanted to say awesome work and hope you get some great MRE's
again, nice interessting entertaining to watch, thanks a lot :-)
The Tyrolean corned meat is usually pork. I'm assuming the one you had in the ration was called "Mielonka Tyrolska", or something very similar in your menu. It's quite popular in Poland even as a civilian canned food for hikers etc. Not sure about NZ, but you can get the civilian version in shops as far out as the UK. They're also usually surprisingly cheap, for a fairly solid tin size, might be worth looking out for, if you enjoyed the taste.
I got to check that dried fruit label/description, "liofilizowanych", I'm Polish and this was the first time I ever saw this word being used, turns out It's a sophisticated way to say "freeze-dried" :D

that very thindelicate bags... in germany we have the same. we use them here to put bread for school or work into. instead of paper bags or lunch boxes. at least smaller ones. maybe they have a similar purpose there, too.
