    Fun fact, you also just had a Danish MRE. Same company makes ours. There wasn't a single item in there, that's different from the Danish MRE. And put the apricot jam on the orange cake and hazelnut on the chocolate cake.

    Not all entrees are for everyone. Like so many others, I was raised eating a wide variety of foods. Some are indeed acquired tastes, but having an open mind helps to conquer food fears. I get it that you have an adverse reaction to the mackeral and the pate. There are foods that I personally can not deal with. Beef liver is one of those. Personally though, I love liverwurst, fried chicken livers, chicken liver pate, pork liver pate, and duck liver pate. To me, the mineral flavor is not nearly as offputting as beef liver. Love your candor and not talking just to hear yourself sound important as some others seem to excell at. Nice job brother. God bless.

    Yeah....I feel you on the fish. I bought a can of sardines in tomato sauce the other week on a whim thinking small fishies in sauce that I could toss on some rye and scarf down.
    Nope. These sardines were evidently the size of Blue Gill and these were big chunks of their sides. I ate some, but I really cannot get into any fish that isn't roasted or breaded and deep fried/baked. With tartar sauce. The smell and consistency just doesn't suit me. But I live in Ohio. Maybe if I was a coaster I'd feel different.
    Short of the apocalypse and collapse of all human civilization, the sardines stay in a can.
    Pate` I can tolerate given some good bread or crackers, even though I'm not a fan of liver either.

    Both of the fish items are fairly tame for Norwegian food. They eat white fish preserved in a brine of lye and called lutafisk which is best described as jellied fish or fish flavored jello. Salt fish that is stored out in the rafters of the shad for 4,5 years or more. Both of which need to be soaked and rnced in water several times before you can or would want to eat.

    It's really interesting to see how the Norwegian Army is fed, and it looks like their ration budget is pretty decent.
    Mackerel is nice when its pan fried with some chilli soy and a few other things. I dont think anything shoved into tomato sauce for a year or so is going to be nice, lol.
    Liver patè is not for everyone, and depending on the type of patè depends on how prevalent the liver taste is, I like most types, but I grew up with it.

      Pretty sure they're from Zero Foxtrot... could be wrong. I got 2 of them. The "All that hate is going to burn you up kid." and the "It was 5 to 1... I got 4"

    Were you ever issued a LRRP ration during your time doing reconnaissance?

    • @MREScout

      Those were phased out before my time.

      @@MREScout My understanding is that they are only issued to special forces troops. I never saw one during my time (1994-1997). We always stripped the entre out of the MREs to save weight on dismounted operations.
      The ration named for reconnaissance operations isn't issued to reconnaissance troops.

    Beef stew and chili with beans were the best US MRE rations.

    I'm amused by your suffering, lol. But at the same time, I want to try all the stuff you hated because god damn do I LOVE me some sardines and some liver on bread.

    This is the Danish MRE. The Norwegian MRE is made By Drytech. Says REAL on it...

    Nobody eats the mackrell, liver pate or "nutella" on its own.. put it on the bread. And who eats bread on its own? Psychopath behavior.

    Does not look like a Norwegian MRE at all..... could be from one of our good neighbours. Danish probably.

    10:40 you need to cancel yourself, because it's not that "fishy" and most normal people like fish.
