Btw i think the breadspread was meant to go on the rye bread with pate on top. In estonia we often put butter on the bread and then pate on top.
zukodude487987 In the Netherlands as well.
yeah you are right!
@@AlexNijv yeah, every country with a bread culture does this.
Zukodude thanks for the translation of roggen.
Absolutely! We do this in Wales
You not liking the bread essentially is just you not being German. The meals however are supposed to be heated, the Rice dish isn't as dry when heated and the gravy melts. Esbitkocher / stove is the key word there, that isn't part of a ration but of a soldiers equipment.
GreenStorm01 I would probably very much enjoy that bread in a tin, especially with the cheese spread. Looks like a wonderful ration 🥰🍺🍕
The german army seems to eat very well those rations looks brilliant. How did it compare to the canadian one taste wise? All the best Jim
That was my first time watching a German EPA review. Very interesting. Great video.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed, I think Gundog did the dehydrated version too, worth a look.
"Brot" is obiously bread, "auf" means upon and "strich" is spread. The other thing is just soft processed cheese. The masters of that stuff are the Swedes. In almost every supermarket you can buy a huge tube of cheese of almost any flavor. Not cheap, but delicious. "Brotbelag" is bread belay. As you experienced you couldn't really spread it. It's ought to sliced up and put upon the "coaster".
The green stuff within the Rindfleischschinkenwurst is pistachio. That word remembers me to the longest official word in German language: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz. That word is as absurd as it looks like. Translated it is Cattle marking and beef labeling supervision duties delegation law.
Thanks for testing foot of my country!
Anyone who has served & played soldiers will know just how ravenously hungry you get. Outdoors in all weathers you will eat anything & be damn grateful for it. This looks like a wonderful ration pack to me.
Hot Müsli and cold mains. You're such a savage! 😂
Ya know what that's one of the first packs to have my taste buds going .great vid and nicely edited sir .
Thanks mate, I found it a little hit or miss but generally good.. except the coasters haha
nice review, first time seeing one of these rations opened up
Thanks for watching :)
Love your ration pack reviews... don't think I will be trying this one anytime soon though.. . Cheers for the upload. Lee
Thanks very much, quite hit and miss this one.. think we're be visiting Czech Republic next! Teasers! haha
you should burn the creackers :D it´s realy good to start your fire :D
probably that bread too! haha, thanks for watching
if you have any quastions about the EPA lika a translation or a synonym, i could help :D
Thanks.. the brotaufstrich I believe is spread, at the time I thought it tasted like a cream cheese but most seem to say it is like a margarine.. is that correct?
Yes but its more like a cream chease
Brotaufstrich can be cream cheese, butter, margarine or even some spreadable "wurst" (sausage; e.g. liver sausage). Without having a look on the ingredients it is just guessing what it could be ;)
Really great job. Nicely done.
cheers buddy.. eating all these rations is a tuff job but someones gotta do it! haha ;)
Let's get this out on a tray . . .
Nice hiss! 😂
Sheesh, you'd think that the joint nations of the world could toss in another scoop or two of morning Musli! That portion didn't even cover the bottom of the mess plate! Looked yummy though. Love these vids.
U should do ur content more like that with the video clip in if the coaster lol
When you break up the MRE into meals. Do you have them at breakfast, lunch and then dinner? I love all the videos of yours
Really like this pack I’d like to try this out myself
Great Video and loved the review - The bread is strange looking!
Thank you, and yes.. strange tasting too haha
IronWarning Ration Reviews German bread has grains in it
Kent Survival I believe the bread is Rye
Thank you for the information. I sure fresh German Rye bread is delicious.. but this was very strange haha.. I'd eat it if I had to though. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Kent Survival no problem
12:24 it's sourcherry flavoured.
Another great review good job.
Thanks very much :)
I prefer rye or whole wheat bread over plain white bread. But I dislike liver in any form.
some Military really know how to feed their Troops!!!
that was a hell of a ration,lots
Your voice really reminds me of Joe Wilkinson, just can't get it out my head! Good review btw :)
haha, Im ok with that :) Thanks for watching buddy!
Very cool ration and review sir !! Awesome 24 Hr. ration. Divided quite well. All meals looked great. The bread, I always wondered, how tasted, now I know. LOL. Know what I mean, say no more, say no more? Despite some misgivings, would love this ration friend. You did well ! Peace, John, Magnum. A nudge is good as A wink to A blind bat, say no more? If someone is not A Monty Python fan , trust me, joke from here !
hahaha, yeah that bread is just bad, but some good stuff in there too, thanks very much ;)
Thank you for talking to A friend in need sir.
Actually the bread is a very old style northern european bread and this type of bread is highly valued and popular in northern Germany for its health properties. While white flour has no nutri values beside carbs this has it all and stores for ages. They soak the grains and bake it really long do that it will get a slightly sweet taste.
Tastes best with nutella or some smoked ham and salted butter and a side of pickles.
You eat small quantities though, two rounds make a whoke meal.
You can use the Cookies to make fire in your Camp.
Thats what they are designed for too.
hmmmm, thanks for watching Steve
Moses used them to drain the sea
God has wrote the Ten Commandments on these cookies
that was actually no pate, kent. this lyoner and the other ... which we only call wurst. these are usually sliced thin (which you really cant do in the field) and you can buy them in every supermarket. i never understood why they out them in these cans. usually they come in round slices as big as the bread. or in similarily sized rectangular form. they arent spread onto the bread. the lyoner "wurst" has spots in it usually which are different kinds of spice for variations in taste. just google "lyoner wurst" and you will find out about how its usually served/sold. then you will know how its meant. and as the others already mentioned... "brotaufstrich naturell" just means butter or margarine without any additional flavour. in germany you wont find many people eating bread without butter or margarine. and on that we put spread, sliced wurst or jam/nutella. and the "hartkeks" for breakfast made ME giggle. my dear grandmother rotates in her grave right now :D how could you? :D these are (if at all) served with coffee or tea or used as snacks while watching tv. and mostly given to small children who love to dump them into cacoa :D give it a try. but yeah... at least you didnt massacer the bread as another reviewer did :D
Thanks for the info, I did rush in to this review a little as I usually do individual meals outside. That spread still tasted very cream cheesey to me though haha Generally good food though :) thanks for watching
Wrong. Every butcher sells Wurst in cans. Even in the Supermarket are both versions available. In germany we have a meal called Brotzeit or Vesper. It usually consists of some bread, A piece of cheese and Wurst or bacon/smoked meat. There you usually Put whole pieces of Wurst on the board.
Nicht wirklich. Lyoner is not supposed to be spreadable, if you're honest. This is more like Leberwurst.
I love Black Books!
first thing that came to my mind with that 'bread' lol
Great review ! You did it in 23 minutes, what is not easy in case of an 24h ration. I am very curious about this lemon dessert, I have to try it. Probably it is something similar to the commercial available Dr Oetkers desserts (which I like)
Hey, I was kind of rushing because It was all done before work haha (I finished the rest after) I didn't mind the dessert but not very substantial, just a sugar hit really. Thanks for watching buddy :)
Interesting that one of the drinks is labelled "grapefruit" - because the thing actually has a German word ("Pampelmuse"); but it's not a hugely popular fruit in Germany, and millenial Germans may be even unaware of it. The "Brotaufstrich" is some kind of margerine-like thing, and it's really meant to be used with the bread which is otherwise too dry.
Thanks for the info.. I have since heard that about the spread but still tasted very much like a cheese spread to me haha.. i'd eat more of it :) Thank you for watching.
Pampelmuse is sort of an obsolete word, however. These things are sold in supermarkets as grapefruits for as long as I can remember.
Thats not quite right. Various citrus fruits have been created by crossing the pampelmuse. The orange was formed by crossing the pampelmuse with the tangerine. The backcrossing of orange and pampelmuse is the grapefruit.
Bei Grapefruit und Pampelmuse handelt es sich botanisch gesehen um zwei verschiedene Arten. Fälschlicherweise wird häufig angenommen, dass es sich lediglich um verschiedene Namen für ein und dieselbe Frucht handelt. Das könnte damit zusammenhängen, dass in englischer Sprache die Pampelmuse „Pomelo“ genannt wird, während die gleiche Bezeichnung im Französischen für die Grapefruit verwendet wird. Im Spanischen ist „Pomelo“ tatsächlich ein Sammelbegriff für beide Zitrusfrüchte.
Dabei ist die Pampelmuse eine eigene Art, während die Grapefruit als Hybride aus Orangen und Pampelmusen gilt.

Also it is two different fruits. Technically.
Well done
Surprised on the amount of food. Could stretch the food out for 2-3 days
Love the review! Looks like you have some interesting stuff on your channel, can't wait to check more out. You have a new subscriber from Canada. Thanks!!
Hey, Thanks very much and welcome! Lots more to come! I've subbed your channel to check it out when I have some time too.
Kent Survival I appreciate that very much!! Thanks!!
Holy crap that is a lot of stuff!!!!! Looked really good compared to some!! :)
It's a good amount of food for sure, a little hit and miss for me though, will have to try another menu one day.. without the bread! haha
It's always the same bread in the Standard-Ones ^^
the best were and i think still are the epa typ 1 cevapcici
Agree. Those cevapcici you can buy in regular supermarkets and skip the rest.
Zitrone is lemon. Lovely video.
great review!
i enjoyed very much!
greetings from cologne
germany
arthur brehm
Thank you very much :) sorry I got the spread wrong but it tasted a lot like cream cheese to me haha :)
thats a big old box off grub Lol
Thanks for sharing Drew
ATB Mike
#StayCornish😬
cheers Mike, It is pretty generous haha.
La ration Allemande à l'air pas mal ;)
Where could you buy any of these German rations here in the USA?
What gets me is there two mains only one heater.
That rectangular container at breakfast----where is that from? A mess kit?
yes, it was from an RAF survival al ration, I did a video about it a while back
That green stuff most likely is pistachio.
I Love German brot 🍞!
Horrible bread if eaten straight from tin. Try toasting it, and put some butter on. Yummy!
What is brotaufstrich? I know it means bread spread, but that is not saying much about what it is, butter, margarine, something else?
Hi, thanks for watching.. It had me wondering too, I think it is margarine but it certainly tastes like cream cheese, which is pretty much what Jay storms comment seems to agree with.
Cream cheese tastes similar to butter for me.
This "Brotaufstrich Naturell" (natural spread) is a more durable butter surrogate which consists of milk protein and clarified butter.
Thank you :)
You're welcome.^^
the green bits are most likely pistachio seeds.
4:53 im so german .. why did u open it like this xD
A translation app would have been useful.
wheres the fun in that ;) haha I didn't have as much time as i would have liked for this one and there were some very vague translations on google translate. Thanks for watching
Or a Original German 🤗
Also, in your MRE expertise, do you know of any ration that come with alcohol?
Hi, Yes, I have not had it myself but there is an Italian (I think - maybe Spanish) ration that has a small bottle, a couple of people have reviewed it on youtube but can't remember who haha. Thats the only one ive seen though
Usually was part of a special officers' ration. I am not sure they are allowed to do them anymore and serve alcohol in camp only.
yep. Italian, Module B or F. They have a small shot of cordiale in those menus. They'll cost you, though; 100+ dollars for one
Aren't the german Hartkekse supposed to be used to start fires in the woods with shoe fat? ;D
I dont think these are the original hartkelse
These looked like a brand called Leibnitz mabe off brand and exavtly looked like their butter cookies/ crakers
Wich is normal food item u csn buy in store
I belive older rations actually hsve the hartkeks inside but this one
I belibe the Hartkeks is a bit thicker 😅😅
Seems to me. Germans got some good shit
To a hungry soldier, I can believe that MRE would be pretty welcome. To me, very little of it looked appetizing. The US Military MREs I didn't mind so much, we were usually very hungry by the time we got to eat and other than a little food trade between soldier's, we were usually happy with what we got. I remember a pound cake that was prevalent in a lot of the MREs and it was delicious. Probably only because we couldn't get our mitts on anything better much of the time, but yeah, delicious.
How did you get this
I spotted the RAF ration tin..tape still on it Andy lol
that tape is a bugger to get off :p
Kent Survival if youve not got it off by now try ecalyptus oil. Works well on cleaning glue from tint on cars..moves most stuff. Just chokes you if it needs heaps lol. Clears the sinuses out well
nice cheers, I jus t started working on a site that used to be a eucalyptus farm coincidentally haha, didn't even know they could grow here
Kent Survival lol. Basically they are weeds and will grow anywhere. Several differant varieties. But yeah we got them grow in the NSW Victoria border in the snowfields. ATB with the new job.
Don't eat the chocolate. Just don't. As a treat is tastes horrible, AFAIK it is and was intented mainly to plug your bowels in emergency or inconvenient situations (from the upside though) for a day.
So use it wisely ;)
It is Not cheesecreme 😂 it is Butter. Or the light on ,in german Margarine .
It actually isn't. The ingredient list is shown briefly, it's processed cheese (Schmelzkäse) without the cheese.
Where could one purchase the German MREs?
usually some on eBay, there is a surplus store called surplusandoutdoors that are good too
Typ just google
German einmannpackung/ mre where to buy and i am sure u get some sides other ths6n e bay
what is "pate"? you mean pashtiet don´t you?
hmm, looks nice bar the rye bread! tried it a few times with different toppings etc... yuck!
the rest looked yummy! i may look at trying one of these some time in the future!
Hi Geoff, thanks for watching, great to try these things :)
German MREs don't include a way to heat the food or utensils for shoveling it into your mouth?
I was surprised too, guess you just rely on an issued stove / KFS set, thanks for watching
We have our "Bundeswehr-besteck". Full Setup incl canopener in a stackable Design Made out of steel. Gundog uses it in his Videos.

This what it looks like. Every soldier carries that.
Boris Scott every German soldier has his own utensils and stove

Overseas rations like 90% of the time have a weird menu item like fish or liver pate...and that's not even mentioning the "bread". That may be the worst shelf stable bread ever to come out of a ration and I've seen all of Steve1989's videos...even his 100yr old ration bread looked more appetizing!
It's rye grist&whole grain bread aka Pumpernickel. (Not that there's an american version, but the german one is actually somewhat different.) Actually pretty good stuff. Goes great with butter or margarine (or the bread spread in the EPA) and then either pate or jam on top. Or some actual ham or similar, if you got it on hand. One of the big advantages of it is that it's a lot more shelf-stable than most types of soft bread.
🥣🥣🥣
Sad
Do you a Facebook page Or Instagram ? I'd like follow you! Lynn XXX
Hi Lynn, thank you, on my main channel page, there is a link to the other social media sites in the banner at the top :)
Another guy who has never been in the military, buys these off eBay to get views . Eat the food, I can’t stand civilians whom just open a perfectly good ration only to taste it and toss it out . Food wasted . You guys should be ashamed all the hungry soldiers and people around the world, and here you are wasting food. Bunch of candy ases ..
Still funny when Brits complain about food even when it's a MRE ;-)
whys that? :/
Nazi salt 🙈🙈😂
